Black Swan’s Mila Kunis Covers W Magazine

Share |

For me Mila Kunis is a breakthrough actress because before Black Swan I have never even noticed her in movies. But her role of Lily was spectacular (as was Natalie Portman’s who I always admired). Since the film premiered we have seen Mila everywhere, on the red carpet, during special interviews and in fashion magazines. W Magazine editors have even offered her to be the March 2011 covergirl.

Mila Kunis looks stunning on the cover of W Magazine March 2011 issue wearing a Chanel silk tulle organza coat with feather collar and sleeves and a Eres silk bra.

In the interview for W Magazine Mila Kunis shares about her first watching of Black Swan, trial acting gigs and being beautiful & funny in Hollywood. Read the highlights below:

Mila Kunis on her dance training for the film: “I had never danced in my life. I trained for four months, seven days a week, five hours a day. I had one day off on my birthday. I lost 20 pounds. I tore a ligament. I dislocated my shoulder. I have two scars on my back. And it was worth every minute. But I will never dance again… I was like, Well—I wear heels; I can do this. I was wrong: Christian Louboutins are uncomfortable, but I screamed the first time I put on a pointe shoe.”

Mila Kunis on watching herself in Black Swan: “Before I started, I couldn’t even lift my arm properly. I literally had no posture, so, yeah, the first time I saw the movie, my jaw dropped. I was like, Oh, my God—I don’t suck. And it’s great that the performance has been captured on film, because I will never put on those pointe shoes again.”

Mila Kunis on being beautiful and funny: “I was never raised to think that I was pretty. It’s not that I was raised to think I was unattractive, but it was just never something that was pointed out to me by my family. They would point out personality traits—“Our daughter is really quirky”—versus what I look like, because inevitably, looks go, so it makes no difference.”

Mila Kunis on how she started acting: “I started acting when I was nine as a hobby because it was fun, and it allowed me to get out of school. The first thing I did was a Barbie commercial, and I got to keep the Barbie. That’s all a kid wants.”

Mila Kunis on one of her first roles:“I guest starred on just about every television show. I was on Baywatch twice. The second time, I played a blind girl who’s lost in the forest next to the beach and needs to be saved. It was absurd: There’s a fire, I get saved, and then I go boogie-boarding. I remember thinking, Well, if I’m blind, how am I boogie-boarding? No one ever gave me an answer.”
