It's finally Mila Kunis's time in the spotlight - and it's about damn time! She's recently been taking on more projects and she seems to shine brighter in each one. Needless to say, Mila has come a long way from providing the voice of Meg on Family Guy - not that we didn't love her for it. Here's a brief excerpt from her upcoming Black Book interview, to give you a little insight into the That '70s Show alum: I first met Mila Kunis nearly 10 years ago on the set of the generic teen comedy. We were fake high school classmates in a fake high school. She and co-star Kirsten Dunst were inseparable and I was an invisible extra. There were husky crew members on hand to remind us of the prevailing social order: extras were not to fraternize with movie stars. It was just like high school, actually. When Dunst once caught me gawking, she pantomimed one of those rickety movie cameras you crank during a game of charades and, in a voice reserved for children, said mockingly, "We're making a movie!" Kunis, still just the cute one from That '70s Show, stood next to her more established co-star and giggled.
With the words "Get Over It" barely out of my mouth, she covers hers and lets out a lengthy squeal: "I haven't seen that movie in years!" And indeed, that Mila Kunis, an embryonic TV star whose career was still in question, was an entirely different person than the one sitting in front of me, the one set to co-star in Denzel Washington's next film, The Book of Eli...
Then came Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the movie that upended everything we thought we knew about Kunis' talent. Yet another offering from the Judd Apatow Institute of Comedic Learning, this one about a heartbroken sap's romantic recovery, Sarah Marshall co-starred a laundry list of likeable comedians, including Jason Segel, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Jack McBrayer and Russell Brand. And yet, in scene after scene, it's Kunis, as the hotel clerk Rachel, who steals the show. Grounded, funny, appealing and gorgeous, she was a revelation. Who knew she had it in her? When the final credits rolled, audiences found themselves entertaining a thought they would have laughed away two hours earlier: Mila Kunis is going to be a movie star.]
Click here to read the interview in it's entirety. Mila has been linked to fellow former child star Macaulay Culkin for years. Needless to say, the Home Alone star knows the Hollywood ropes. I'm sure he'll be a supportive partner as Kunis continues her ascendency. I know I'll be rooting for them... Click here to view more pictures of the beautiful Mila.
