>>> WE NEED HELP.
WE SHOULD CONSULT THE WORLD'S
HIGHEST AUTHORITY ON
RELATIONSHIPS.
COSMO.
>> THAT IS MILA KUNIS STARRING
ON "THAT '70s SHOW" WHERE SHE
SPENT EIGHT SEASONS FROM 1998 TO
2006.
MILA WAS ONLY 14 YEARS OLD WHEN
SHE LANDED THAT ROLE AND MAY
HAVE FUDGED HER AGE JUST A BIT
TO GET THE JOB.
THE SHOW WAS A HIT, MAKING MILA
A STAR AND INTRODUCING HER TO
CO-STAR ASHTON KUTCHER.
A FRIEND BACK THEN AND HER
REAL-LIFE HUSBAND TODAY.
KUNIS MOVED WITH HER FAMILY FROM
THE SOVIET UNION WHERE SHE WAS
BORN TO CALIFORNIA WHEN SHE WAS
JUST 7 YEARS OLD.
HER MOTHER PUT MILA IN AN ACTING
CLASS JUST TO HELP HER YOUNG
DAUGHTER MAKE FRIENDS IN A NEW
COUNTRY.
IT TURNED INTO MUCH MORE THAN
THAT.
MILA AND I GOT TOGETHER FOR A
SUNDAY SITDOWN TO TALK ABOUT HER
NEW MOVIE, "THE SPY WHO DUMPED
ME," AND A LOT MORE.
MILA KUNIS GOT INTO SHOW
BUSINESS ON A WHIM.
>> I STARTED ACTING WHEN I WAS 9
BY ACCIDENT.
THERE WAS AN ADVERTISEMENT ON
THE RADIO FOR BEVERLY HILLS --
AND LIKE ANY PYRAMID SCHEME,
EVERY KID GETS ACCEPTED.
BUT LET'S SAY THEY ASKED FOR
$400.
MY PARENTS AT THAT TIME MAYBE
HAD $600 IN THE BANK ACCOUNT.
AND MY MOM, SHE HAS NO
EXPLANATION FOR WHY SHE DID WHAT
HE DID.
MY MOM DECIDED TO WRITE A CHECK.
WHEN YOU TALK TO HER, SHE SAYS I
JUST HAD A GUT FEELING.
>> AS USUAL, A MOTHER'S
INTUITION IS RIGHT.
AT 34, KUNIS IS ONE OF THE MOST
SUCCESSFUL AND HIGHEST-PAID
ACTRESSES IN HOLLYWOOD.
AND WITH HUSBAND ASHTON KUTCHER
FORMS A POWER CUP 'EM THAT IS A
MAGNET FOR THE TABLOIDS.
HER LATEST MOVIE IS THE ACTION
COMEDY "THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME."
>> WE JUST WANT TO TALK ABOUT
YOUR BOYFRIEND.
>> HE DUMPED ME.
>> SOME BAD PEOPLE ARE AFTER ME
AND NOW THEY'RE AFTER YOU.
>> BUT IT ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN
FOR HER.
>> I INITIALLY PASSED.
MY HUSBAND AND I MADE AN
AGREEMENT A LONG TIME AGO THAT
WE WOULD NEVER SEPARATE THE
FAMILY.
I SAID NO AND IT WAS MY HUSBAND
WHO SAID I THINK YOU SHOULD DO
IT.
>> DO YOU WANT TO DIE NEVER
HAVING BEEN TO EUROPE OR DO YOU
WANT TO GO TO EUROPE AND DIE
HAVING BEEN TO EUROPE.
>> WHY ARE THOSE MY ONLY TWO
OPTIONS?
>> AUDREY IS LIKE YOUR AVERAGE
29, 30-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO'S
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HER LIFE.
THIS GUY THAT SHE KIND OF
THOUGHT THAT SHE KNEW THAT SHE
WAS IN LOVE WITH BROKE UP WITH
HER.
COME TO FIND OUT, SPOILER ALERT,
HE'S A SPY AND SHE GETS TAKEN ON
THIS WHIRLWIND ADVENTURE IN
EUROPE WITH HER BEST FRIEND,
PLAYED BY KATE McKINNON.
SO IT'S LIKE A REALLY COOL STORY
ABOUT FRIENDSHIP, IT'S A STORY
ABOUT LOVE AND LOTS OF THINGS
EXPLODE AROUND YOU.
>> YOU DIDN'T HAVE THAT MATT
DAMON THING WHERE YOU WENT INTO
TRAINING FOR A YEAR?
>> NO, WE WENT METHOD.
BUT OUR CHARACTERS WENT METHOD,
AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE SKILLED SO
WE DIDN'T WANT TO BE SKILLED,
JUST BLOW THINGS UP IN FRONT OF
US AND LET'S SEE WHAT WE DO.
>> FOR KUNIS, THE ROAD TO
HOLLYWOOD BEGAN IN THE FORMER
SOVIET UNION IN WHAT IS NOW THE
INDEPENDENT NATION OF UKRAINE.
HER FAMILY IMMIGRATED TO THE
UNITED STATES ON A RELIGIOUS
VISA WHEN MILA WAS JUST 7.
>> MY PARENTS ARE LIKE, HEY, I
THINK WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT.
OUR KIDS NEED A FUTURE AND
THERE'S VERY LITTLE FUTURE HERE
AND WE CAN'T LEAVE WITHOUT THE
GRANDPARENTS AND MY GRANDPA WAS
LIKE, NO, RUSSIA IS THE BEST.
MY DAD IS LIKE WHY DON'T YOU GO
VISIT YOUR BROTHER IN AMERICA
AND WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
HE'S ABLE TO VISIT HIS BROTHER.
HE COMES TO THE STATES AND SEES
ALL THINGS THAT AMERICA IS KNOWN
FOR AND COMES BACK TO WHAT IS
NOW UKRAINE AND SAYS, HEY, I
THINK WE SHOULD PROBABLY START
OUR PAPERWORK TO LEAVE.
>> THE FAMILY MOVED TO LOS
ANGELES WITH $250 AND NOT A WORD
OF ENGLISH.
>> SO YOU LAND IN THE UNITED
STATES AT 7 YEARS OLD.
YOU SAID IT WAS AKIN TO BEING
DEAF AND BLIND BECAUSE YOU
DIDN'T SPEAK THE LANGUAGE.
>> AT ONE POINT LATER IN LIFE I
WAS LIKE, YOU KNOW WHAT, I DON'T
ACTUALLY REMEMBER MOST OF SECOND
GRADE.
MY MOM WAS LIKE, OH, THAT'S
BECAUSE YOU CRIED EVERY DAY.
OH, OKAY.
SO CLEARLY I JUST BLOCKED IT OUT
SO IT MUST HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIC.
I JUST DIDN'T HAVE RECOLLECTION
OF IT.
>> AFTER HER MOTHER WROTE THAT
CHECK FOR ACTING SCHOOL, KUNIS
GOT SOME WORK IN COMMERCIALS.
>> I'LL NEVER FORGET THE DAY I
GOT STUCK.
THE STICKERS WERE SO COOL.
>> AND WITH BIT PARTS ON TV
SHOWS LIKE "BAYWATCH."
>> YOU GOT HEAT.
GET OUT OF HERE, WE'RE GONNA
FRY.
>> THEN AT JUST 14 YEARS OLD,
KUNIS LANDED THE ROLE OF JACKIE
BURKHARDT ON "THAT '70s SHOW."
>> HER ON-SCREEN BOYFRIEND WAS
ASHTON TOUCHER.
>> YOU WANT TO HAVE MY CHILDREN?
>> WELL, YEAH.
I LOVE YOU.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE WONDER
BECAUSE OF THAT ROLE IF YOU AND
ASHTON EVER GOT TOGETHER ON THAT
SHOW.
>> NO.
IN REAL LIFE?
>> YEAH.
>> NO.
AND I SAY THIS NOT AS A JOKE BUT
LITERALLY DID MY CHEMISTRY
HOMEWORK.
I THOUGHT HE WAS FINE, SOMETIMES
HE'D DROP ME OFF AT HOME.
>> DURING HER RUN ON "THAT '70s
SHOW" SHE BEGAN VOICING THE
CHARACTER OF MEG GRIFFIN ON
"FAMILY GUY."
KUNIS BROKE THROUGH ON THE BIG
SCREEN IN 2008'S "FORGETTING
SARAH MARSHALL."
>> SO ARE YOU GOING TO JUMP OR
WHAT?
>> AND TWO YEARS LATER AS THE
INTENSE BALLET RIVAL TO NATALIE
PORTMAN IN "BLACK SWAN," A ROLE
THAT EARNED HER A GOLDEN GLOBE
NOMINATION.
>> I'M JUST NOT SURE YOU'RE
FEELING UP TO IT.
>> DID IT FEEL THAT WAY TO YOU,
THAT "BLACK SWAN" PUT YOU ON
ANOTHER LEVEL?
>> LISTEN, I ALWAYS THOUGHT I
WAS GREAT.
SO I WAS -- CLEARLY I'M GREAT,
GUYS.
WHY -- WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?
HAVE YOU SEEN "BAYWATCH"?
>> SOON A FAMILIAR FACE WOULD
RETURN TO MILA'S LIFE.
THAT OLD CO-STAR FROM "THAT '70s
SHOW."
>> WE KEPT IN TOUCH WITH AOL
MESSENGER, IF YOU REMEMBER THAT
BACK IN THE DAY.
AIM.
AND WE SAW EACH OTHER AT AN
AWARDS SHOW.
FROM THE BACK I THOUGHT WHAT A
HANDSOME YOUNG MAN, I WONDER WHO
THAT IS.
THEN HE TURNED AROUND AND I WAS
LIKE OH, I DID HAVE A MOMENT
WHERE I THOUGHT HE WAS HANDSOME.
>> THE PAIR GOT MARRIED IN 2015
AND HAVE TWO CHILDREN.
KUTCHER WAS HOMEMAKING BREAKFAST
WHILE MILA AND I WERE SITTING
DOWN TO TALK.
>> I THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU AN
UPDATE IF I COULD ON WHAT'S
HAPPENING BACK HOME.
THIS JUST POSTED BY YOUR
HUSBAND.
THAT WAS BREAKFAST THIS MORNING.
>> OH, YES.
I KNOW THIS.
>> DOES THAT LOOK FAMILIAR?
>> THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I'M
GONE.
IT'S RAINBOW FRENCH TOAST.
FRENCH TOAST, PLAIN YOGURT,
CRUMBLED TRIX.
THAT'S MY HUSBAND, GUYS.
IT'S PRETTY CUTE, RIGHT?
>> KUNIS' EXPERIENCE AS A NEW
MOTHER LED HER TO THE SMASH "BAD
MOMS" FRANCHISE.
>> WE'RE KILLING OURSELVES
TRYING TO BE PERFECT AND IT'S
MAKING US INSANE.
>> MAYBE I HAD LIKE A
9-MONTH-OLD AT THE TIME.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WANT TO WORK
AGAIN.
IT'S THAT "BAD MOMS" SCRIPT.
OH, BUT WAIT, I CAN RELATE TO
THAT ONE.
AND SO I DID IT AND IT WAS
REALLY HARD FOR ME TO GO BACK TO
WORK.
IT WAS REALLY HARD BECAUSE I WAS
SO USED TO BEING WITH MY KID
EVERY DAY.
>> AND YOUR FANS WANT TO KNOW IF
THERE WILL BE A THIRD "BAD MOMS"
MOVIE.
>> I LOVE THE CAST.
IF IT COULD BE DONE RIGHT
WITHOUT BEING RUSHED,
ABSOLUTELY.
>> WHAT ABOUT WORKING WITH YOUR
HUSBAND, DOING A MOVIE TOGETHER?
>> PROBABLY NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
I CAN'T LOOK AT HIM AND NOT BE
LIKE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT'S A WEIRD -- NO, LIKE -- NO,
IT'S WEIRD.
IN A SCENE WITH HIM I WAS LIKE,
OH, I SEE YOU ACTING.
LIKE I CAN CATCH IT.
HE LOOKED AT ME AND HE WAS LIKE
WHAT'S THAT FACE YOU MAKE?
I WAS LIKE WE CAN'T DO THIS.
WE CAN'T BE TOGETHER IN A SCENE.
>> MORE THAN 25 YEARS NOW AFTER
HER MOM WROTE THAT FATEFUL
CHECK, MILA KUNIS IS LOOKING
LIKE A PRETTY GOOD INVESTMENT.
>> YOUR MOM CAN HAPPILY SAY THAT
THAT $400 PYRAMID SCHEME PAID
OFF.
>> SOMETIMES WE BRING IT UP AND
MY DAD SAYS I THOUGHT I WAS
GOING TO KILL YOUR MOM.
I WAS LIKE I'M SO HAPPY YOU
DIDN'T.
>> YOU CAN SEE MILA AND KATE
McKINNON IN "THE SPY WHO DUMPED
ME" IN THEATERS NOW.
