Mila Kunis is giving insights into the struggles of Hollywood life, and how some acting gigs are not as easy as they seem.
The Friends With Benefits actress disclosed the amount of preparation it took to prepare for her role in the critically acclaimed Black Swan, and how much it took a toll on her body.
During an interview with Vogue, the 42-year-old said, "My prep was a lot of dancing and very little eating — which I know you’re not supposed to say, but it’s the truth. I drank a lot of broth and danced for 12 hours a day."
Mila remarked that she was happy that the time to prepare for the role got extended from three months to six, before talking about more injuries she had sustained during that time.
"We would shoot those dancing scenes for hours, and I had bruises all over my ribs just from being lifted over and over again,” the Bad Moms star stated, adding that she had also dislocated her shoulder in the early days.
The Ukrainian native was joined by costar Natalie Portman and director Darren Aronofsky as they marked the film’s 15th anniversary.
Yes, all the hard work that went into the Black Swan paid off, as it earned Nicole an Academy Award and secured almost $330 million worldwide at the box office.
