Doing publicity rounds for her new film “Black Swan” Mila Kunis revealed she went on a punishing diet and exercise regime that sent her weight down to 98 pounds! Kunis plays the part of a ballerina. According to E! Online, the actress said her weight loss was so extreme it concerned her family.
“My mom freaked out,” Kunis said. “She was like, ‘You have to promise me this isn’t going to affect you.’ I was like, ‘I promise it won’t, but it might take me a little time to be OK with having a little more fat on me.’”
“I could see why this industry is so f****d up, because … I would literally look at myself in the mirror and I was like, ‘Oh my God!’ I had no shape, no boobs, no ass … all you saw was the bone. I was like, ‘This looks gross.’”
Kunis continued: “In real life, I looked disgusting, but in photographs and on film, it looked amazing.”
As soon as the film was over, Kunis got back to eating! She ate a lot of burgers and Chinese food.
“It took me five months to lose 20 pounds, and it took me hours to gain it back!” she jokes.
‘Black Swan’ is a psychological thriller in which Natalie Portman plays a prima ballerina who lands the lead role in a production of ‘Swan Lake’ before a mysterious and creepy Kunis comes in and shakes things up. The actresses share an intimate love scene, which Portman has described as “extreme.”
Plus, being that she’s doing ballet every day for many many hours, yeah, she’s going to loose weight. It’s so hard on the body. I’m glad she gained the weight back.
