As she toldThe Sun, her school was tagged with antisemitic graffiti.
In second grade, she had a friend who found a swastika on the back of her chair.
“After the Holocaust, in Russia you were not allowed to be religious,” Kunis explained.
“So my parents raised me to know I was Jewish.
You know who you are inside.”
“He came back to Russia and said, ‘We’re leaving.'”
“I blocked out second grade completely.
I have no recollection of it,” Kunis toldThe Los Angeles Times.
She continued, saying, “I cried every day.
I didn’t understand the culture.
I didn’t understand the people.
I didn’t understand the language.”
“My English was a little janky.
I didn’t have very many friends.
The class turned out to be a positive thing for Kunis’ mom and dad, too.
“My parents couldn’t afford a babysitter,” Kunis explained.
“They said, ‘Great, that takes up our Saturday.'”
“I had a very funny-looking face when I was little.
I had like big eyes, big lips, big ears,” Kunis shared with OK!

Kunis seemed to acknowledge that the features her classmates picked on are now seen as an asset.
“I grew into my face,” the actor said.
She eventually put the bullying behind her.
Mila Kunis may never forget her first, but for all the wrong reasons.
“I’ve never kissed a guy.
In the same interview, Kutcher admitted to feeling a bit weird about it as well.
“They were like, ‘You guys are going to be making out in this scene.’
And I’m thinking wait, this is slightly illegal,” he said.
“You’re kissing on the show, we’re boyfriend and girlfriend.
You would use tongue.
Danny bet me like 20 bucks I wouldn’t do it,” Kutcher admitted.
The accolades she received were numerous, but Kunis’ training took a serious toll on her health.
“I trained for four months, seven days a week, five hours a day.
I had one day off on my birthday,” she said.
And that intensive training led to a host of physical issues.
“I lost 20 pounds,” Kunis said.
“I tore a ligament.
I dislocated my shoulder.
I have two scars on my back.”
I was like, ‘Well I wear heels; I can do this.’
I screamed the first time I put on a pointe shoe,” Kunis confessed.
In fact, the pair dated for nearly eight years, having met in 2002.
Although the couple valued their privacy, Kunis opened up about their relationship in a 2007 interview withParade.
“We like to read books or play video games or watch TV or go to the movies.
And he’s an amazing cook,” she said.
He’s so, so smart and so aware and so kind and so sweet."
Nevertheless, the relationship wasn’t built to last and the pair split in 2011.
According to Kunis, her breakup with Culkin was a bad one, and she blamed herself.
I f***ed up.
Luckily, Culkin was able to bounce back from the breakup.
In 2017, he began dating fellow actor Brenda Song, with whom he now shares two children.
But the reason for Kunis’ unusual eye color is not so glamorous.
The latter affected Kunis to a serious degree.

Kunis also shared that she kept her partial blindness a secret until she was able to have corrective surgery.

In 2012, the hacker, Christopher Chaney, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He continued, saying, “It took me like a year to build it all back up.”
During that year, Kunis was by his side and as resilient as ever.
“You kind of just power through,” she told ET.
It was the weirdest feeling.”
The heartbreak moved Kunis to take action.
As of January 2024, the couple had raised over $37 million.
“We support victims.
But public relations expert Beth Booker toldTodaythat the couple’s apology was likely to do more harm than good.
“They weren’t apologizing for writing the letters.
They were apologizing that they got caught,” Booker stated.
Kunis, who held a position on the board at Thorn, stepped down as well.
