Father Mark Borisovich, a mechanical engineer at , began working as a taxi driver in the USA. Mila has an older brother, Mikhail.

Mila Kunis in childhood Despite a decent income by Soviet standards and the absence of acute financial problems, parents did not see a good future for their children in the USSR. In addition, a family with Jewish roots suffered greatly due to anti-Semitism, and therefore in 1991 the Kunises moved to America, settling in Los Angeles. According to Mila, her parents raised her “as Jewish as possible,” which was not at all encouraged in the USSR.

Little Mila Kunis with her brother Mikhail Already on the second day of her stay in America, without knowing a single word of English, Mila began going to Rosewood Elementary School. At first it was very difficult for the girl, and she returned home every day in tears. “I didn’t understand the culture. I didn't understand people. I didn’t understand the language,” the actress later recalled. Her essay about herself, written a few years later for college, began with the words: “Imagine that at the age of seven you suddenly became blind and deaf.” To help her daughter as quickly as possible To adapt and begin to communicate with peers, Mark and Elvira enrolled her in a children's acting club at the Beverly Hills Studio. It was in this studio that she was noticed by manager Susan Curtis, who brought the baby to film commercials for television - in particular, to advertise the Barbie doll. Mila Kunis in a Barbie commercial (1994) Following the commercials, invitations to various television shows and series followed, including in “The John Laroquette Show”, “Days of Our Lives”, “7th Heaven”, etc., work on which had to be combined with training at the Bancroft regional secondary school.

A still from the series “7th Heaven” In addition, the young actress played small roles in the films “Strong Santa Claus” (1996), “Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves” (1997) and “Gia” (1998) with Angelina Jolie, where she played the main character as a child. At the same time, for simplicity, the girl’s name was shortened to “Mila.”

Mila Kunis is originally from Ukraine. In 1998, when Mila was 14 years old, she was cast in her first big role - in the youth television series “That '70s Show.” It is curious that while working on this series, Mila met Ashton Kutcher, who many years later became her husband.

Mila Kunis became famous thanks to That '70s Show. Their first kiss took place on the set, although the relationship between them at that time was purely friendly. “I was 19, and she was about 14. Yes, I even did her chemistry homework for her. That kiss on the set was probably the first in her life. Imagine, our first kiss is documented on television!” Kutcher said in an interview. The first kiss of Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher (“That 70s Show”) Thanks to this series, where the girl starred for eight seasons in a row, she was already 16 years old received her first Young Star Award and was then honored again the following year. In addition, she has been nominated multiple times for the Teen Choice Awards.

Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart In 1999, Mila began voicing Meg in the animated series Family Guy. At the audition, the 15-year-old actress’s voice captivated the director with its naturalness and the way Mila was able to accurately reflect the character’s character traits with her intonation. Mila Kunis is voiced by Meg Griffin. The girl also voiced her character in all subsequent seasons of the series, and for this work she was nominated for an award in 2007 "Annie". In addition, she also became the voice of Meg Griffin in the video game “Family Guy” and the full-length animated film “Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story” (2005 – 2006). People on the street often shout at me this Peter Griffin catchphrase: “Shut up, Meg.” !“Mila Kunis graduated from Fairfax High School in 2001 and attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and then transferred to California Marymount University, but did not study for long.

Childhood

Kunis Milena Markovna was born in 1983, on August 14, in the city of Chernivtsi in Ukraine, then still part of the USSR. Her father Mark was a simple engineer, her mother Elvira was a physics teacher. Mila's family emigrated to America in 1991 and settled in Los Angeles. The girl went to the local school in first grade, not understanding a word of English. In order to adapt to a new place, the future actress needed almost a year. Thanks to constant sitting in front of the TV, the schoolgirl managed to master an unfamiliar language, and she asked her father to take her to a children's acting school in Beverly Hills. There, Mila Kunis, whose height and weight met the required standards, caught the eye of a professional agent, Melissa, who quickly appreciated the young talent and set about promoting him. In total, from the age of 9 to 14, Mila starred in fifteen commercials and a huge number of catalogues. She was involved in the filming of several TV series, such as “Cool Walker”, “7th Heaven”, “Unhappy Together”, “The John Larroquette Show”. She played in the films “Gia” and “Piranha”. The parents opened a separate bank account in their daughter’s name, put all the money the girl earned there and did not spend a penny of it. Mila Kunis, whose professional growth was noticeable with each new role, outwardly remained a simple American teenager. It seemed to everyone around that the girl’s acting experiments were just an entertaining hobby.

Film career

In 2001, without interrupting her television career, the matured Kunis played the friend of the main character in the romantic comedy “The Love Virus,” where Kirsten Dunst played the main role.

How Mila Kunis changed The following year, the actress played her first leading role in a movie – in the thriller “American Psycho 2: One Hundred Percent American” (2002) with William Shatner. The film, by all accounts, was unsuccessful, and Mila herself subsequently expressed her disappointment and opposed the filming of the third part: “Please, someone stop this. Write a petition. When I made the second film, I didn’t even know it would be American Psycho 2. It was planned as a completely different project, and then it was edited, re-edited, but... Oh, I don't know. It turned out bad."

Even Mila Kunis didn’t like the sequel to “American Psycho.” A breakthrough for Mila’s cinematic career was her participation in the romantic comedy “In Flight” (2008) directed by Nicholas Stoller. The film was a box office success and received critical acclaim: “It has a lot of funny and poignant situations, and strikes the perfect balance between romanticism and obscenity for a comedy,” “... it is on the very crest of the newest and most current trend: a romantic comedy for guys.” And although Mila had a minor role in this film, her work was also highly appreciated - the young actress was nominated for the Teen Choice Awards.

A still from the comedy "In Flight" In the same year, Kunis played the main female role - the bandit Mona in the thriller directed by John Moore "Max Payne" based on the computer game of the same name, in a duet with the famous actor Mark Wahlberg. And although this picture received negative reviews from critics - they considered its plot illogical and filled with unnecessary action scenes - it collected a good box office, and Mila again received a nomination for the Teen Choice Awards.

Mila Kunis in “Max Payne” However, the award itself once again slipped away, and the press considered Mila “monstrously unsuitable” for this role and called the crime boss in her performance “a runt with a gently murmuring voice.” John Moore defended the actress as best he could: “Yes, Mila is not the most obvious choice for this role, but she turned into Mona so well... We needed someone who would convey the essence of the character, but with her own subtext. I think Mila handled it amazingly.”

Mila Kunis without makeup In 2009, Mila starred in the leading role in Mike Jud's comedy "Extract", and the next year a more significant film for her was released - the post-apocalyptic drama of the Hughes brothers "The Book of Eli", where Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman became Mila's partners. And although critics generally rated the film as not the most outstanding, it was a great success with the public, and Mila’s performance was unanimously called “a very strong work”: “She breathed a living spark into the heroine and endowed her with determination, showing her as an independent young woman who I’m not always ready to take risks.” Mila was once again nominated for the Teen Choice Awards, but she again did not receive the prize itself.

“The Book of Eli”: Mila Kunis as Solara The same 2010 brought the actress another interesting work – Darren Aronofsky’s psychological thriller “Black Swan”, where she played a supporting role, a ballerina and rival of the main character played by Natalie Portman. It’s interesting that in real life Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman are not rivals at all, but rather close friends. “Black Swan”: Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman To convincingly transform into a ballerina, Mila had to study ballet for 5 hours every day and lose about 9 before filming began. kilograms of weight, for which the actress went on a strict diet and did cardio training.

For “Black Swan,” Mila Kunis lost 9 kilograms. During filming, there were some injuries: she tore a ligament in her leg and dislocated her shoulder. “I will never dance again in my life,” she admitted after filming. “I’ve always been convinced that mind trumps matter, but until this film I had no idea how it really worked.”

In real life, Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman are friends. Of course, all these sacrifices and efforts were not in vain - the film was a huge success, collecting a record $329 million against a budget of $13 million, and received several prestigious awards and nominations, including five Oscar nominations. . Mila’s work did not go unnoticed: she received the Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress, and was also nominated for the Golden Globe and the Screen Actors Guild Award.

Mila Kunis's height is 163 centimeters. After this serious dramatic work, the next film with Mila's participation was again a romantic comedy - the film directed by Will Gluck "Sex of Friendship" (2011), where the actress played the main character in a duet with Justin Timberlake and with the participation of Woody Harrelson and Emma Stone. The film was warmly received by the public and critics: “The film is good for its energetic dialogues and loving chemistry between the main actors, as well as the fact that the misunderstanding underlying the conflict looks ... believable.”

Photo shoot for LA Magazine (2011) The following year, the actress starred in the black comedy “Ted” directed by Seth MacFarlane, and Mark Wahlberg again became her main co-star. It turned out to be a light and cheerful film, and at the Russian box office it was accompanied by a memorable slogan: “In love there is a bear.” The plot centers on a young couple and... a depraved talking teddy bear, dissatisfied with the appearance of a girl from his owner.

A still from the film “The Third Wheel” In 2013, Mila starred in the fantasy adventure film directed by Sam Raimi “Oz the Great and Powerful”, a prequel to the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz”. Here she played one of the main roles, the witch Theodora. According to the plot of the film, Theodora appears in the frame in two different images, and to transform into one of them - the Witch of the West - the actress was given very complex makeup. The transformation process took four hours, and removing the makeup took an hour. According to Mila, after filming ended, it took her two months to restore normal skin condition.

Transformation into the Green Witch And yet, according to the actress, the most difficult thing for her was to create such an image so that it would not conflict with the image of the Witch of the West from the original film performed by actress Margaret Hamilton, but at the same time would not be perceived as secondary: “I I was very nervous working on a character that had already become an icon before me... I didn’t want to ruin him, I didn’t want to create him again, I didn’t want to reinterpret him. Therefore, in order not to completely break my head, I had to cultivate in myself an initial sense of her personality, as if she had just been given to me.” Mila Kunis speaks Russian After this, Mila played in three independent films with a low budget: Guillaume Canet’s thriller “Blood Bonds" (2013), Phil Robinson's tragic comedy "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn" (2014) starring Robin Williams and Paul Haggis' melodrama "The Third Person" (2014) starring Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde.

In box office films, her next work was the main role in the space opera by Lana and Lilly Wachowski “Jupiter Ascending” (2015), played in partnership with Channing Tatum and Sean Bean. Critics received the film lukewarmly, calling it "another confusing sci-fi narrative" and highlighting the ridiculous fashion for portraying female characters in science fiction and action films as implausibly strong, like "Arnold Schwarzenegger with a bust."

Jupiter Ascending stars The film did use a lot of stunts, and to Mila's credit, she did almost all of them herself. The only exception was a joint flight with Channing Tatum, during which they hung outside in a helicopter - the insurance company prohibited the actors from performing this trick on their own.

In 2020, the film “Bad Moms” was released, a comedy directed by John Lucas and Scott Moore, where Mila appeared in company with Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn. The film was a success, and soon after its release the same team began working on the sequel, Bad Moms 2.

In addition, she often takes part in the filming of music videos by famous performers - she can be seen in videos for Kiss, Aerosmith, The Strokes, Joel Madden, Norah Jones and others. Mila Kunis shows her parents' house (English) The actress has repeatedly appeared on the covers of leading glossy magazines magazines, including Cosmopolitan, Harper's Bazaar, Glamor and many others.

Photo of Mila Kunis from Harper's Bazaar In 2013, Kunis was ranked 89th on Forbes' list of the 100 most powerful celebrities and 14th by income. In 2020, she was ranked 5th in terms of fees among Hollywood actresses - she earned $15.5 million for the year. Men's Health magazine included the actress in the list of "100 Most Attractive Women of All Time", and the popular American magazine FHM ranked her number 1 in the rating of "100 Sexiest Women in the World" for 2013.

Maxim often included Mila Kunis in the ratings of beauties.

The actress herself is quite skeptical about such ratings: “A career should be based on something more than first place in the FHM 100 girls list.

Personal life of Mila Kunis

At about 16 years old, Mila once told her father: “You know, I don’t want to get married, I don’t believe in marriage.” Over time, Mila changed her youthful denial of marriage to a new formulation: “I will get married only when gays can do the same.”

In her youth, Mila did not believe in the institution of marriage. In 2002, 19-year-old Mila began dating 22-year-old actor Macaulay Culkin, who at that time was still a very popular person. The glory of his “children’s” roles in the films “Home Alone” and “Richie Richie” has not yet faded. According to the actress, it was “impossible to even just walk down the street” with Culkin because fans started rushing at him with a squeal.

Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin dated for 8 years. The couple's relationship was stable and lasted for eight years, but the actors were in no hurry to get married. In January 2011, the couple broke up, after which Culkin became depressed and began using hard drugs.

In April 2012, Mila entered into a relationship with actor Ashton Kutcher, her longtime partner in the TV series That '70s Show. They got engaged in February 2014, and on October 1, 2014, their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher, was born.

In the photo: Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher On July 4, 2020, Kunis and Kutcher officially got married, and on November 30, 2020, the family welcomed a second child, son Dimitri Portwood Kutcher. The young family did not want to put their personal life on display and suffered greatly because of the annoying paparazzi attention. “When Wyatt was born, our backyard was filled with drones,” Mila was horrified. The couple still values ​​their personal space and looks very happy. When asked by a journalist from one of the online publications if there is anything about Kutcher that annoys her, Mila replied: “I can tell you completely honestly, although this will not be the answer that people would like to hear. My husband doesn't annoy me. Doesn't irritate me at all. I don’t know, maybe everything is still ahead, because we haven’t been married for many years, you know, a lot between us is still happening like on a honeymoon... Everything is so wonderful and beautiful, and I have not yet reached the stage when people get annoyed... yet that no."

A post shared by Mila Kunis (@kunismilaonline) on Oct 1, 2020 at 10:20am PDT

For a long time, the children in the family had no idea that their parents were famous actors. Wyatt was sure that her mother was a hairdresser. The legend collapsed due to huge billboards with portraits of Mila to advertise the film “Bad Moms 2”.

Mila Kunis's son's name is Dimitri Wyatt and Dimitri is learning three languages ​​at once - English, Russian and Spanish. Ashton also had to learn to speak Russian in order to communicate with Mila’s relatives, since her grandparents do not speak English. Mila Kunis in “Evening Urgant” In January 2011, Kunis told the press that she had suffered from chronic iritis (inflammation of the iris) since childhood eyes), due to which she developed heterochromia: her right eye is green and her left eye is light brown. At some point, the disease even led to blindness in one eye, but after a successful operation, vision was restored.

Mila Kunis does not have pronounced heterochromia. Mila is a fan of the computer game “World Of Warcraft,” although she plays it infrequently and does not use the game’s voice chat at all, because other players recognize her by her voice.

In politics, she supports the US Democratic Party and sharply criticizes Republicans for positions on some issues that she considers offensive - in particular, for “attacks” on women and statements on religion.

Personal life

Mila Kunis, biography, height, weight, which worries many fans of her talent, began dating Macaulay Culkin in 2002. This romance lasted eight years. Young people spent a lot of time at home, reading books and playing computer games. However, in 2010, after the release of “Black Swan,” Mila’s life changed irrevocably. Caught up in the whirlwind of popularity, she could no longer lead a reclusive life. The couple broke up. Officially, the young people remained friends, but Culkin fell into depression after breaking up with the actress. Since 2012, Kunis has been in a civil marriage with Ashton Kutcher. In March 2014, information appeared that Mila was expecting a child from her lover.

Mila Kunis now

In 2020, Mila worked on the sequel to the 2020 comedy - John Lucas and Scott Moore's film Bad Moms 2, where she again played in the former female team with Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn. For the filming of this film, the previous cast was reinforced by several bright artists, in particular Susan Sarandon.

Mila Kunis in the film “Bad Moms” In 2020, Suzanne Vogel’s comedy “The Spy Who Dumped Me” will be released, where Kunis also plays the main role along with Kate McKinnon and Sam Heughan. Filming of this film partially took place in Budapest.

In 2020, Mila Kunis and her husband traveled to Ukraine. In August 2020, Mila and her husband visited the actress’s homeland in the city of Chernivtsi in Ukraine. But contrary to expectations, Mila remained indifferent to the places where she lived until she was 7 years old, and the new owner of her former house did not even let them in, so the trip brought nothing but disappointment to the couple.
