Milena Markovna “Mila” Kunis is an American actress. She started her career in the ’70s on the Fox television series opposite Jackie Burkhart when she was 14 years old. Since 1999, Kunis has voiced Meg Griffin on the Fox animated series Family Guy.
Between the premiere of her new movie Luckiest Girl Alive and the remake of the ’70s show, Mila Kunis is having a pretty busy time.
Regarding her role which brought her immense fame, the actress revealed a long-running rumor that she lied about her age.
Kunis starred in the hit sitcom, That ’70s Show from 1998 to 2006 as Jackie Burkhart, originally the rich, popular, and arrogant girlfriend of Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher).
Rumors swirled about Mila Kunis lying about her age in order to get the part.
Producers were told that Mila Kunis was around 18 when she was actually 14, but it’s finally clearing up after 24 years.
“There’s a rumor going around about my age that I may or may not have lied about my age for a ’70s show,” Mila Kunis said in an interview with Vanity Fair.
Now I want to clarify that “I lied.”
However, Kunis noted that when she went to fill out her contract and producers Bonnie and Terri Turner found out her real age, they said, “Well, we loved you at the time, so what did we care?”
Mila Kunis said, “It was a day for older kids to play with younger kids. And I really did age the character.
Kunis recently opened up about reprising her role in the upcoming Netflix reboot, That ’90s Show, that Jackie and Kelso are now married with a child.
The actress also revealed how “weird” it was to film with Kutcher, who is also her real-life husband.
