Mila Kunis: Megan Fox might be “brilliant”

mila1

Little Mila Kunis is profiled in February’s Esquire Magazine in their feaure “12 Things You Didn’t Know About…”. The photos from Esquire are very pretty, and Mila doesn‘t look as tired and drawn as she did on the red carpet for The Book of Eli earlier this week. But I think Mila is trying a bit too hard to be a sexy vamp, when her personality shows that she’s more bubbly and sweet. But that’s common enough for magazines – they turn the brunettes into the vamps and the blondes into the “girls next door”. Anyway, the “12 Things” are funny enough, so here are some the highlights, including her thoughts on whether Megan Fox could be an evil genius:

She’s not sure what to make of Megan Fox.
“She has a tendency to say absurd sh-t and then see what happens. I hope she’s fully consciously aware of what she’s doing, because if she is, she’s brilliant.”

Aside from those eyes, she’s actually on the wee side.
Mila has got amazing eyes, caramel-colored and big. Really big. Immense. “Yes, I look like Japanimation,” she says. “I’m aware of that.” The rest of her, on the other hand, is small. “My friends call me Hobbit,” Mila says. “I come across as shorter than I am. People will say, ‘You’re not five foot four. And I’ll say, ‘People, I know my height.’ I’m constantly winning bets. Hundreds of dollars.”

She’s kind of a geek.
“I read The Huffington Post, The Drudge Report. I spend hours researching products. I’m a product whore. Like soaps and creams. And just crap. I love Yelp.” She also likes Colbert. Or maybe Man vs. Wild. “I love that he gets so excited about carcasses. He’ll be like, ‘Mmm, look at that sexy dead goat, look at those eyeballs.’ Then he digs into the goat’s eyeballs because they have protein. It makes me want to vomit. And of course I watch it.”

She wants a better class of paparazzi.
“Sometimes I’ll get paparazzi, but it’s only because someone else was here before me, and I’m like, ‘Crap, I got the leftovers.'”

She’s not buying the gossip on plastic surgery.
One site alleges Kunis had a nose job, even though the before and after photos look identical. “Where are my boobs? If I were going to get plastic surgery, I’d get some real work done.”

She hates talking about Ashton Kutcher’s romantic prowess.
“Journalists will ask, ‘Is he a good kisser?’ It’s no longer a cute question. It was ten years ago. I’m no longer fifteen. What am I going to say, ‘He’s such a soft kisser, it was delightful.'”

Contrary to reports, she never dated her co-stars on That ’70s Show.
“I never dated Wilmer [Valederrama]. I never dated Danny [Masterson]. They’re like my brothers. That’s disgusting. That’s wrong.”

She can legitimately claim to be the young Angelina Jolie.
A fifteen-year-old Kunis starred as the younger version of Gia, the heroin-addicted bisexual model, in HBO’s biopic. Jolie played Gia as an adult. Kunis’s parents didn’t quite know quite how lurid the movie was until it came out. “They were like, ‘What did we put you in?!’ They were as dumbfounded as I was.”

She wasn’t always American.
Mila grew up in the Ukraine, and didn’t taste American food until she was seven. “I remember having my first Coca-Cola at the Moscow airport. It was awful. I hated it. I’d never had fizzy water before; I’d had juice and water my whole life, and I just couldn’t understand it. Of course now I love me some Diet Coke.”

She learned to fight from Chuck Norris.
When Mila was fourteen, she had a guest role on Walker, Texas Ranger, and during the lunch break, the official toughest man in the world gave her lessons on punching. “He told me you don’t want the thumbs on the inside of the fist. When you hit, bring your hands back quickly to protect. And make sure you hit at face level so your own face is protected,” she says. “It wasn’t cool back then, because I didn’t really know who he was. Now I’m like, ‘Chuck Norris taught me to fight!'”

[From Esquire]

Okay, I have to admit, this interview converted me. I’m now I’m a fan of Mila’s. She’s very funny and charming. And I’m so, so glad she never dated Wilmer Valderrama. I thought they went out for a year or so…? Maybe that was just a rumor started by Wilmer because… well, we all know he’s sleazy. But Danny Masterson? I don’t mind admitting that I would hit that. Although I think Danny and his brother are Scientologists, which kills my desire as quickly as Xenu can say “All-Powerful Suri Cruise.”

    I have always liked her and this made me like her more.

  2. lucy2 says:

    She seems pretty cool. Relatively normal and down to earth.
    The headline makes me laugh though! Megan Fox *might* be brilliant? And I *might* have ridden to work on a unicorn today.

  3. GatsbyGal says:

    Hahahaha @ her Man vs. Wild comments. That’s totally how the show is.

    Wow, okay, I like her a lot now.

  4. Sumodo says:

    She doesn’t REALLY think Megan Fox is brilliant, she says of Fox: “She has a tendency to say absurd sh-t and then see what happens. I hope she’s fully consciously aware of what she’s doing, because if she is, she’s brilliant.”

  5. Annabelle says:

    Ya loobloo mila (I love her). She represents us Slavs well 🙂

  6. dude says:

    I really like her choice of roles. She is different & I really like that about her. I do think she can do better than Mac Culkin tho. But whatev she’s pretty cool

  7. BitterBetty says:

    Lying about the nose job.

    I have eyes, Mila…

  8. omondieu says:

    Right on, Annabelle! As a Ukrainian, I love her by default, but now that she’s getting the attention I think she deserves, I love her more. I hope she stays grounded.

    However, it pisses me off that her home country is referred to as “the Ukraine”. It’s been an independent country for almost 20 years! It’s just “Ukraine”…cripes on toast…

  9. mila says:

    She comes off as a rather funny and intelligent person, not to mention she’s gorgeous!

  10. LolaBella says:

    Love her. She a good actress and seems like a nice, down to earth person. Cute interview; her comments on Ashton and her Chuck Norris anecdote were funny.

    She brings the laughs as the voice of Meg Griffin on Family Guy.

  11. Susette says:

    Since seeing her in interviews a few years ago, I’ve really liked her – but the title of this article scared me!

    After reading the actual quotes, my girl-crush remains intact.

  12. joe says:

    she is quite attractive.

  13. IceKitty says:

    She’s a great actress! I’ve been a fan since the early days of “That 70’s Show”..

    It was funny, while channel surfing at least a year ago, I came across that “Walker, Texas Ranger” episode with her in it! I couldn’t believe it, I had to get the laptop out and check…

  14. IceKitty says:

    I believe I also read a quote from her where she said she learned how to speak English from watching TV!

  15. stinabelle says:

    The Mastersons are indeed Scientologists. This killed my crush on Danny lightning quick.

    I love Mila and have ever since T7S. She’s also great in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

  16. apsutter says:

    I didnt like her on That 70’s Show but ever since I saw Forgetting Sarah Marshall I’ve been converted….she seems so fun and cool like she’d be great to go out on the town with…go mila!

  17. Alecto says:

    i thought her eyes were 2 different colors.

  18. mouth.like.a.sailor says:

    she’s my girl-crush too 🙂 she is just incredibly unbelievably gorgeous, it’s actually bordering on the ridiculous kind of level. but she seems to have not been affected by it personality wise, she seems really cool and interesting and smart and funny. totally someone i would hang out with…was this the site that where she talked about going on the Hollywood murder mystery tours? where her and her friends read about and watch all the crazy movies and books-like the Black Dahlia-and then go to the places and investigate. sounds really creepy, but fun too. i luv this gal!

  19. juiceinla says:

    Love her, wish she would start getting leading lady roles and become the next Sandra Bullock (not sure she has the chops, but being optimistic) and prove to Jessica Biel that there are amazing parts out there for truly beautiful women with talent.

    Dismayed that the Masterson Brothers are SCIENTOLOGISTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Lee says:

    She’s great, and a refreshing palate cleanser after reading about Biel and that 16 year-old perfume twit! Mila comes across in the interview and on film as smart and funny, and she’s apparently unspoiled by Hollywood.

  21. Mairead says:

    Megan Fox “may” be brilliant, but Mila, dear, you’re FAR more interesting. And prettier too!

    (I loved her on the 70s Show. The girl must be funny, she even made my mother laugh – which is either remarkable or worrying as my mother has a very hidden, sense of humour and does not get irony whatsoever. )

  22. Leek says:

    Love her! I think she’s prettier than Angelina, too.

  23. Trillion says:

    I totally want to hang out with Mila on the couch, drinking diet coke and surfing product reviews on our lap tops and ripping on shit. I’d have to wear dark glasses so I could sneak stares at her amazing face.

  24. Michelle says:

    I like this actress, but I hear she’s the only bad actor in the Book of Eli. She’s cute in girlfriend roles, but I don’t think she’s ready to work with Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. Some say she ruins the movie. Dakota Fanning could have handled it. This young lady isn’t there yet.

  25. gee_gee says:

    You know what? Mila Kunis is adorable. More of her, please. Less of Megan Fox. And less Jessica Biel. This one is a breath of fresh air.

  26. Solveig says:

    I really like her, she’s a beauty and a funny and smart girl but she’s had some work done on her nose, she can’t deny it.

  27. bo says:

    She’s one of the most perfect looking people alive, which is pretty much what Sarah Marshall was about. She’s also a hard core gamer on WoW. This puts her on my bad list for a very long time, but I’m sure you guys will appreciate the information. So there it is.

  28. Mouse says:

    She’s so adorable and spunky, Mila is my girl crush.

  29. CC says:

    I don’t think she’s had a nose job. She doesn’t appear to have undergone any PS operations to me. She looks the same as she did when she was younger. Her nose has always looked slightly blunt/bulbous, and still does at times.
    She doesn’t look like Japanimation girl cartoons at all. She’s mistaken. With that said, I think she is pretty. Not the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen but, definetley hotter than most starlets right now and she doesn’t come off as full of herself as others. ALthough behind closed doors, who knows? She is less fake plastic looking than Megan Fox. I actually wish she wouldn’t even discuss Megan Fox in an interview though. It just brings more atttention to MF in the end.

  30. CC says:

    It’s nice that she’s finally getting some recognition. I’ve always thought she was pretty and underated but now based on reading some of the comments, I think she is getting a bit overated. Just sayin

  31. singerinwhite says:

    Aw – I’ve always loved her – and if anyone on here wonders about her skinny size these days, it’s probs because of “The Black Swan.”

  32. Dhavy says:

    Rather read about her than Jessica Beil (ugh!)

    She’s beautiful and talented

  33. Grape says:

    I like Mila Kunis and Alexis Bledel and Elisha Cuthbert (<–popular mechanics!). They’re not the greatest actors, but they’re all funny closet nerds. Megan fox is not as dumb as she looks..still dumb though.

  34. em says:

    I really like her

  35. Darron Milin says:

    I think that the very first time I watched Megan fox was in Transformers.

  36. knockin sense in ya'll says:

    People she didn’t get a nose job, seriously?? Look at her then pic she had more meat on her and the now she slimmer. Even the part below her nose above the lip is diff, so did she get that done too?? OMG let’s start that rumor SMFH(shakin my f*cking head) retards. She is gorgeous and I loved her personality eva since she started acting and I loved her personality on that 70 show lmao.

  37. the yapper says:

    I thought i saw a pic of her as a little girl and she had a different nose than she does today…but I’m not sure. For her exotic looks and her jewish heritage i would think she might have had a nose job but she would have had to have been very young…that may have caused her eye problems. I don’t know what’s the youngest age kids have gotten nose jobs??? But I would think that might cause problems for them in later life…but who knows? Can’t be sure. She’s can be one of the most beautiful women in the world other times she looks rather rough!!!

  38. Saint says:

    I’ve been on two dates with her. Topher, you ruined the first one, and pills ruined the second.
