Is Mila Kunis scary-skinny?

100111a1_kunis_m_b-gr_11

This is Mila Kunis making a red carpet appearance last night at the premiere of The Book of Eli. Mila is in the film, also starring Denzel Washington. I think Mila is wearing too much makeup and she looks tired, but Lainey thinks she’s getting scary skinny. Now, Mila has always been a very small girl. She’s always been skinny, verging, in my opinion, on the “too skinny.” But I don’t really see a huge difference in last night’s red carpet appearance. Her collar bone looks slightly more prominent, and like I said, she looks tired. It could be that she’s been working really hard on Black Swan, and she was just having a bad night.

In a recent interview to Metro Canada, Mila talked about how much she enjoyed working with Denzel: “He’s a very powerful man. At this point in my career, I like to work with people that I admire and people I respect and can learn from, and an opportunity to work with Denzel Washington, you can’t really pass it up.” The film is one of those endless apocalypse movies, with Mila and Denzel both playing survivors of some sort of catastrophic event, and then Denzel must protect a “sacred book” and “fulfill his destiny.” Boring, yes? I liked it better when it was called The Stand, and I could read it.

Anyway, here’s one of the trailers for the film. Oh, Gary Oldman is in it. He looks like hell too:

    she looks great but could definitely put back on a few pounds . Also , the fake eyelashes may contribute to her looking sleepy ,they tend to weigh down the eyelids .

  2. apsutter says:

    I love mila!!! She’s so cute and was great in forgetting sarah marshall. It’s funny it took like a decade for her to bust out and really have good acting roles. I hope she gets some rest and takes it easy b/c she is a real beauty

  3. hatsumomo says:

    She is wearing too much make up, but other that, she’s pretty. Nothing a few more pounds cant fix. And I’ll prolly go see the movie. I think it looks entertaining. Not great, but alright to spend eight bucks on.

  4. Sumodo says:

    It’s the makeup, the hair and the dress. All very severe. She’s one of the young actresses in Hollywood who seems to have a good head on her shoulders.

  5. teehee says:

    She looks good. Shes got some muscle and some fat— compared to some others who are truly scary skinny. It seems to work for her.

  6. Firestarter says:

    I don’t think she looks scary skinny. Yes, thin, but she looks nice. ITA with what TeeHee said.

    I like her.

  7. filthycute says:

    Sumodo, I dunno…her boyfriend is Macaulay Culkin and he’s a notorious drunkin’ druggie.

    You are who you associate with.

  8. LolaBella says:

    I think she looks skinny due to the work that she and Natalie Portman (who is looking very skinny these days as well) are doing playing rival ballet dancers in that movie Black Swan.

    I don’t think she looks scary skinny at all; if anything she just looks more toned now.

  9. Ally says:

    Her arm does look creepy-skinny. In spite of being super slim to begin with, she was probably under the usual stupid studio lose-10-pounds pressure that they give to any actress (that’s the kind of genius advice the suits get big money for!), plus it was a ballet movie, so all the more pressure perhaps.

    I’ve been super impressed with Kunis’s willingness to hold out for good parts since That 70s Show ended. Hopefully in a few years she’ll have enough power in the industry to tell the suits to go lose 10 effing pounds themselves.

  10. meg says:

    I usually think she is really pretty but she kind of looks like she is on something in these.

  11. WTF?!? says:

    Yes, she is way too skinny. Her skin looks dreadful, too, even with all that spackle slathered on top of it.
    Since she’s obviously not eating too much greasy food, I sure hope she’s not doing drugs.

  12. snowball says:

    She’s changed so much since That 70’s Show. Obviously, she’s gotten older and I’m sure that has a lot to do with it too, but in most pictures of her, I barely recognize her.

    I don’t think she looks too thin although given what we’re used to seeing these starlets or whatever, she probably is considered average. I agree with LolaBella – if she’s filming a movie about ballet dancers, she’s going to end up with their look – rail thin, no boobs, thin muscled legs..

    I saw some pictures of one of those Twilight girls – Ashley Greene? She was frighteningly thin. Her head looked bigger than her waist.

  13. wow says:

    Nah, she’s just scary.

  14. yadira says:

    Am I alone in thinking that she looks a lot like a younger version of Angelina Jolie?

  15. Jillian says:

    IMO, no. The arms and chest are always a tell tale sign. Her arms aren’t quite there yet and you can’t see the bones in her chest yet (see Rachel Zoe). If she lost another 10 lbs she might be there.

    I’ve always thought she is beautiful.

  16. sayrah says:

    Yeah, she’s looking too skinny and could stand to put back on 10 lbs. but she’s great!

  17. crash2GO2 says:

    She is as tiny as she has always been, but she looks healthy to me. No prominent bones or veins.

  18. offbase says:

    I think she is absolutely beautiful….stunning as usual. She has always been a very petite girl, and when you are really petite even if you are a couple pounds lighter it shows.

    As others have posted she is currently shooting Black Swan playing a ballerina and that role requires her to work out and stay on a strict diet.

    For those of you that are concerned, maybe this article will make you feel better…..once she is done with the film she will indulge herself. 🙂

    Q: What are you doing after Black Swan?

    Mila: Eating.

    Q: So, you’re on a strict diet regimen for that, along with all of the physical training?

    Mila: Yeah. I’m so hungry, all the time. I’m just going to eat and not work out and not do anything. I plan on doing nothing. I end Black Swan in February, and I am just going to be a couch potato for a good month.

  19. Solveig says:

    No, she isn’t scary skinny.
    I.love.that.nose.
    Bitch.

  20. Si says:

    She’s wearing brown contacts…odd!

  21. EMV says:

    I think she looks fine. She is short 5’3 I think and so she has probably just been more active an usual and has lost weight. I can’t see her bones sticking out or anything…I think that being short can sometimes be a curse since people do not know a lot of times what it is like to even have an extra 10 lbs on their bones. I’m 5’1

  22. NicoleB says:

    she’s always been small…but she does look thinner…it’s hard when you are naturally petite b/c when you lose even as little as 5lbs it shows…i’m sure she’ll be alright after Black Swan is done taping.

  23. Leek says:

    She is beautiful and she looks great. There aren’t weird veins popping out of her hands and arms so she looks healthy enough.

    She’s doing all of these movies plus Family Guy so she is probably just busy. There are more deserving people to pick on in Hollywood.

  24. Lee says:

    She looks like a ballerina. And under the circumstances that would be a good thing. Can you imagine how hard it would be to really be a ballerina, always keeping that 10 pounds off? At least actors can relax somewhat between roles. Gerard Butler, anyone?

  25. GatsbyGal says:

    She could stand to gain 10 pounds. But she definitely isn’t the worst I’ve seen. Plus, I think she’s kind of a small person just naturally.

  26. ligeia says:

    i don’t know about scary, but she does look like she haven’t had anything besides salad and steamed veggies for a long long time.

  27. sam says:

    Wow – Denzel is really branching out these days… I hope the script is good!

  28. Essie says:

    I don’t think she looks any more skinny than most actresses. I feel the same about Angelina. I just can’t understand why people say those things. Mila looks just fine.

    That movie looks sort of like “The Road” movie that is out now at the artsy-fartsy cinemas. Only The Road looks better than this stuff.

    I guess we’re having all these end-of-the-world movies because 2012 is around the corner. I bet by December 2012, we will have people living in caves, scared sh!tless because of these movies. It’s going to be fun!!

  29. bo says:

    She looks beautiful and I have no right to make any judgments… but her body looks a lot like those of people I know who are ill. Not saying she is… but saying it’s hard for me to see anything else.

  30. la chica says:

    she just finished shooting the role of a ballerina. i’m sure she’ll put back on the weight now that the movie is over.

  31. cayenne says:

    Um, Yeah, She has brown eyes. Those aren’t contacts.

  32. jsan says:

    Her wrists tell the story. They look very frail.

  33. Ana says:

    She has always been very tiny, even back in That 70s Show days.
    Love her.

  34. Nicole says:

    “The film is one of those endless apocalypse movies, with Mila and Denzel both playing survivors of some sort of catastrophic event, and then Denzel must protect a “sacred book” and “fulfill his destiny.” Boring, yes?”

    Are you serious??? I love post-apocalyptic stories! I’m definitely gonna see this one when I have the chance. I know I can’t be the ONLY one out there who enjoys Mad Max/Fallout/A Boy and His Dog-esque stories. I think they’re fascinating. Watching the fall of mankind in a wasteland never gets old for me. I can’t get enough of all of the Fallout games LOL. Anyway… *goes back to being nerdy*

  35. Camille says:

    Love her and I love her eye makeup too, I think she looks gorgeous here.

  36. Annabelle says:

    saaaay what?? she looks perfect

  37. psychochic says:

    @cayenne, actually Mila has different colored eyes – one is green and the other is blue–

    “Mila has two eye colors and this is caused by the injections she had taken during her childhood days. When she was younger, she had serious migraines that were caused by a glaucoma eye condition. She had to insert steroid injections straight into her eye. This caused her one eye to be blue and the other one green.”

    I think she looks thin, not scary skinny.

  38. wilson says:

    no she looks nothing like angelina! mila is very pretty, and she doesn’t have puffed out trout lips and gross veins all over, what an insult to adorable mila!

  39. Kbean says:

    I never noticed two different eye colors on her..(Kate Bosworth is the one who has that.) I’ve seen phtos of Mila where her eyes look hazel or greenish but never blue. Perhaps her eyes are really brown and she wears contacts. Either way, she has pretty eyes. I don’t think she looks too thin, but if she lost even 5 more pounds she would.

  40. pickelhaube says:

    Well, after reading what psychochic posted, I say LEAVE HER THE HELL ALONE! God, hasn’t the poor woman been through enough? INJECTIONS DIRECTLY INTO THE EYEBALL? AAAAAGH!

  41. cayenne says:

    Thanks Psychochic, You learn something new every day! I thought they were hazel/brown from other images. Either way, she is indeed a gorgeous woman. And, she seems quite grounded for H-wood.

  42. Smiles says:

    Mila suppose to be the gorgeous ruby of this movie. She has everything and is totally sufficient… She is one million girl /not like Brooke Shields /because she looks like one million girl!

  43. offbase says:

    I just picked up a copy of the Esquire Magazine where she is interviewed……just to put a rest to the nonsense about her weight being tied to her having any personal problems etc….here is exactly what it says in the article…….Mila has no eating disorders or anything else…she is simply doing what she needs to do for a movie role, and I still think she looks fine anyway……this did make me laugh though.
    ———————–

    Actually the kitchen isn’t where Mila wants to be. Too tempting. She is currently training to play an undernourished ballerina in the new Darren Aronofsky movie and she’s been restricted to a diet of leafy greens and oatmeal. It’s killing her. This is a woman, who, while watching Super Size Me, had such a craving for McDonald’s, she had to pause the DVD in the middle and track down a Big Mac.

  44. Vanessa says:

    To put things in perspective, Mila was essentially required to lose weight for her ballerina role. The “scary-skinny” thing seems a little cruel and judgemental out of context:

    “The training was grueling, requiring one hour of cardio followed by 4 hours of ballet seven days a week. Kunis stated that she was also restricted to a 1200-calorie a day diet – “because I have to have bones sticking out” – so she was just looking forward to the final day of production.”

  45. Sigh says:

    Most ballerinas these days aren’t skinny. They aren’t average either. That’s a really big misconception caused by little dolly dinkle schools that focus on competition(the same ones that claim to be teaching 6 years olds ballet…which is impossible and dangerous). Most of the Ballet dancers I’ve danced with were on the healthy side of slender. There are some skinny dancers out there…but teachers and companies know the risk that they run (death…collapse) if they hire them (so they are reluctant to do so). The new ballet dancer is much healthier and pleasant to look at. Dancers need energy to complete extreme physical feats. It’s funny how people don’t say ice skaters are skinny. Ballet requires so much energy! We don’t have a smooth surface to glide over…and we do everything with or legs turned out from the hip. We also dance “en pointe” (that takes five years to build up the strength in order to do so). We aren’t the weak little wisps you’re thinking of. The only reason ballet isn’t an olympic sport is because it’s an art.

  46. Taylor says:

    okay you people are in denial. if you actually think its ok to look the way she did in the in the movie, i really sont understand you. mila was a 2 on that 70s show. she dropped to like a 00 for this role, understand? that is NOT OKAY. how could you look at her and think it is? its not even her natural weight! it was for the movie ok i got that. she did it to make money and hopefully does not plan to stay this way. i dont think mila wants you to take this seriously!
