Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis sets the record straight about her story of lying about her age to book That '70s Show.

I had a solid ego, man, I thought I was so cool. But I don’t know if it was intimidating in the sense of like, I didn’t know who I was or lost sense of myself, but I must have been like, ‘Wow, these kids are all so cool and they’re so much older than I am and they’re so much cooler than I am,’” she adds. “I told them I was gonna be 18, which ... And in my contract I had to put an asterisk, and be like, ‘Studio teacher.’ And they’re like, ‘What do you mean?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, P.S. “But at that point, if you talked to [series creators] Bonnie and Terry Turner, they were so sweet, they were like, ‘Well, we loved you at that point, so what did we care?’” Kunis now tells Vanity Fair. “However, by the time I went to what was then, like, producers, network call, you have to sign a contract before you get the job.

Mila Kunis was 14 years old when she auditioned for a role that required her to be at least 18 years old.

“However, by the time I went to what was then a producer’s network call…you have to sign a contract before you get the job and in my contract I had to put an asterisk for ‘studio teacher,'” she continued. “I’d like to make it very clear now that I did lie.

If you finish watching Netflix's Luckiest Girl Alive without feeling as angry as Ani, you didn't watch it right.

It offers a career-best performance from Mila Kunis and isn’t afraid to throw salt in two giant wounds that can’t and won’t heal until we treat them with the seriousness they demand. Ultimately, the movie is a series of punches to the gut, most of which you never see coming. You never know what she’s going to do or say, and once the movie starts wrapping up and makes the core of her behavior clear, you fully understand and relate to the character. On the other hand, men get the benefit of the doubt, excuses are handed to them on a silver platter, and their entire existence is perceived as nuanced – and you definitely can’t pin them to a single mistake in life, because they are much more than that. Not only is this explicitly stated in a flashback by one of Ani’s teachers, but you constantly hear Ani's voiceover contradicting a lot of what she does and says onscreen. Based on a New York Times best-selling novel by author Jessica Knoll (who also pens the script), Luckiest Girl Alive tells the story of a magazine writer who’s aiming to make it to the top rankings of the writing world.

The now-39-year-old actor first landed the part of spoiled teenager Jackie Burkhart on the eight-season sitcom when she was 14. However, as the directors were ...

'Black Swan' star Mila Kunis has confirmed a longstanding rumour about how she landed her breakout role as Jackie Burkhart on 'That '70s Show'.

The trajectory of my career could've gone any which way but the set was cool." The actress revealed to Vanity Fair that in order to bag the role, she lied about her age. I did."

Mila Kunis says it was “shocking” and “insane” Will Smith received a standing ovation when he picked up his best actor Oscar after he attacked Chris Rock.

Will has repeatedly apologised for slapping Chris on stage in March and reached out to the comic to get in touch, admitting his attack was “unacceptable” and “inexcusable”. Apple plans to release the Smith-led Civil War drama on its streaming service in December, less than a year after Will stormed the stage to slap Chris over a joke about the shaven head being sported at the ceremony by his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, 51, who suffers from alopecia – before weeping after the assault on stage when picking up his best actor trophy for his performance in ‘King Richard’. Mila Kunis says it was “shocking” and “insane” Will Smith received a standing ovation when he picked up his best actor Oscar after he attacked Chris Rock.

The cast redeems a film that starts off on an ambitious high but ends in a mire of mediocrity.

It’s a cast that redeems a film which starts off on an ambitious high but ends in a mire of mediocrity. We examine the concept of afternoon tea and its universal appeal as a meal. The screenplay uses the tragic school incident as a basis to zero in on everything that happens in the film. Without giving away spoilers, if the film’s half-baked finale reduces Ani to a mere plastic symbol of all that the story represents, the fact is ironic because Mila Kunis strives to rise above the script material at hand. The film underwhelms with the way it leads up to its closure. The storytelling, though, is interesting in the way it lets Ani play the field. Kunis as Ani is constantly in voiceover mode, in order to reveal everything from her obvious trust issues to her habit of indulging in the occasional white lie. Soliloquies work fine for a novel when it comes to securing an emotional bond between characters and the reader. Knoll draws from her real-life stint as a former editor of Cosmopolitan to imagine Ani as a senior editor at a fashion glossy called The Women’s Bible. A film of this genre would be expected to have a crisp narrative while unfolding the suspense and driving home the deeper context of its story. The constantly shifting of the story between present day and flashback helps build curiosity up to a point, about what exactly happened in high school all those years ago. He is out to make a film on a shocking incident that took place in the posh private high school that Ani attended as a teenager, which brings back memories of a chain of horrifying incidents.

The Luckiest Girl In The World star attended this year's Academy Awards with husband Ashton Kutcher and said she was 'shocked' that people stood for Smith ...

My behaviour was unacceptable and I am here whenever you are ready to talk.” [C Magazine](https://magazinec.com/style/mila-kunis-california-dream-world/): "The idea of leading by example only makes sense when you actually have someone to lead. “And I’m not going to try and unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all of you that there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment. Concluding the video, Smith said he was “deeply remorseful and I’m trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself”. He added: “I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and complexities of what happened in that moment.
