It’s no secret I’m a big fan of Mila Kunis, but my fandom goes well beyond her exceptional good looks though. I’ve always admired how well-grounded she was for someone that has enjoyed a tremendous amount of success in such a short time.
During filming of her latest movie “The Book of Eli”, Kunis said her mom made her work at the photo counter at Rite-Aid during downtime from filming “That 70′s Show”.
“My mother made me work at Rite-Aid, because my parents work full-time. I worked at ’70’s’ on Laurel & Ventura and I couldn’t drive because I wasn’t sixteen yet, so my mother would come on her lunch break and pick me up from work,” said Kunis.
“But she didn’t have time to drop me off back home, so I would have to go to work with her, and what did I do for six hours? My mother would put me behind the photo or ice cream counter and made me work.”
And despite the glitz and glam that can often seduce young stars, Kunis always had her feet firmly on the ground.
“My parents did a fantastic job raising me,” she said. “I cannot even begin to explain the stuff they made me do – they took my keys away, there is so much there. My parents really made me have a regular life.”
Perhaps that’s why Kunis has managed to keep herself DUI and sex-tape free, unlike many of Hollywood’s young starlets.
Kunis has spent the last few months battling injuries during filming of her newest film “Black Swan,” thanks to the heavy training regime that comes with playing a ballerina alongside Natalie Portman.
“I’ve dislocated my shoulder,” Kunis said. The much anticipated film is set to be released later this year because the two stars will engage in a steamy lesbian love scene that Kunis confirmed during the premier of “Extract”.
These are the latest photos of Kunis, including outtakes from a layout in GQ magazine and those taken during the premier of “The Book of Eli”.
