Mila Kunis

In 2002, she dated ‘Home Alone’ star, Macaulay Culkin, but the couple called it quits amicably after being together for 8 years. Soon, there were rumors that she was dating ‘Friends with Benefits’ co-star, Justin Timberlake, but Kunis shunned these reports.

In 2011, her cellphone and her email accounts were hacked by a certain Christopher Chaney, who pleaded guilty in court.

She began appearing with Ashton Kutcher in a number of events and it was confirmed in 2013, that the two were officially seeing each other. They got engaged in February 2014, and she gave birth to their daughter, Wyatt Isabelle, on October 1, 2014.

Milena Markovna Kunis was born on August 14, 1983 to Mark Kunis and Elvira in Chernivtsi, Ukraine. She has an elder brother. Her mother is employed as a physics teacher but runs a pharmacy as well, while her father is a mechanical engineer by profession, who doubles up by working as a cab driver. She is of Jewish descent.

The family relocated Los Angeles when she was seven. There, she attended Rosewood Elementary School.

When she was only 9-years-old, she began taking acting lessons. She auditioned for a few commercials and then made her debut in her first television role on ‘Days of Our Lives’, in 1994.

She starred in minor roles as a child actor in ‘Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves’, ‘Santa with Muscles’ and the Angelina Jolie’s movie, ‘Gia’. In 1998, she landed her first major role as ‘Jackie Burkhart’ in the hit sitcom, ‘That ‘70s show’.

After rave reviews for her performance as ‘Jackie’, she lent her voice for the role of ‘Meg Griffin’, on the animated sitcom, ‘Family Guy’.

Although her career kick-started as a junior actor, she began appearing in more mature and challenging roles from the year 2000. She was cast in ‘Get Over It’, alongside Kristen Dunst, in 2001 and the next year, she appeared in ‘American Psycho 2’ a horror film, which was released directly on DVD.

In 2004, she starred in ‘Tony n Tina’s Wedding’, which released in theaters only three years later. Although her performance garnered mixed reviews, the film as a whole, did not do well at the box-office.

She appeared in ‘Moving McAllister’, in 2005, alongside Jon Heder, which once again released two years later. This movie also received poor reviews from both the critics and the audience.

In 2007, she appeared in a video for a website, ‘Funny or Die’, alongside James Franco, which was based on a MTV show. The video went viral and garnered over one million views from fans.

In 2008, she was cast in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’, where she played the role of the siren receptionist, ‘Rachel Jansen’. She was cast opposite well-known actors like Jason Segel and Russell Brand. The film was a critical and commercial hit and projected Kunis to a whole new level in Hollywood.

Mila Kunis got her first breakthrough in the world of stardom as the intolerant, spoilt, bratty girl ‘Jackie Burkhart’ in ‘That ‘70s Show’, opposite Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace, Danny Masterson, Wilmer Valderrama and Laura Prepon. One of the protagonists of the show, she stole hearts with her conceited, immature behavior and her numerous affairs with the lead male protagonists of the series. The show ran from August 23, 1998 to May 18, 2006 and became one of the highest watched sitcoms in the United States.

Her role as ‘Lily’ in the film, ‘Black Swan’, which released in 2010, proved her mettle as a versatile actress, who could don any role and pull it off with ease. Her rivalry with the lead character in the film and her stupendous ballet techniques for which she trained for four hours a day, seven days a week, not only garnered the appreciation of critics but the audience as well. The movie was nominated for a total of 5 Academy Awards and is slated as one of her biggest films yet, with a total collection of $329 million at the box-office.
