Mila Kunis: Acting Is Not Art

Photobucket

Mila Kunis may have gone from a successful sitcom in ”That 70′s Show” to an acclaimed big screen actress and one of the voices on the long-running hit ”Family Guy,” but the ”Black Swan” star doesn’t take Hollywood too seriously.

In an interview featured in the new issue of GQ, which named her “Knockout of the Year,” Kunis spoke candidly about her career. “I love what I do,” she said, “but my theory is that it’s people who doubt what they do and want to prove it to you, they’re like, ‘It’s art. I create art. It’s art, art, art.’ I’m like, ‘Holy s**t, are you f**king kidding me?’ I run around and pretend I’m someone else for twelve hours, I record ’Family Guy.’ Then I get to go home and watch ’Jersey Shore.’”

Kunis also said she found her career by accident when her parents, who moved to America to escape the Soviet Union, needed a cheap hobby to keep her busy. “My English was a little janky,” she said. “I didn’t have very many friends. And there was this place advertised on the radio as a place for kids to meet other kids — an acting class. My parents couldn’t afford a babysitter. They said, ‘Great, that takes up our Saturday.’”

civilsavage *black swan spoiler*18th-Nov-2011 01:49 am (UTC)
exactly. the toughest thing she probably did as far as acting went was coughing up blood and dying convincingly in 'black swan' tbh... love her, she's adorable and cute and all but, perspective on the history of the industry, she needs some...

Do you see the kind of stuff that gets released on a weekly basis? Great films don't come along that often so talking about her work is talking about most movies in hollywood. At least she was in an Oscar nominated film lol.

one_hoopy_frood 18th-Nov-2011 01:26 am (UTC)
At least she's honest?
bostongirl2003 18th-Nov-2011 03:14 am (UTC)
this. I feel like she meant to say that acting is more of a job, but didn't articulate it correctly. I think of it as a form of art, since it is a form of expression, but some actors do sound horribly pretentious when they talk about their "art" and shit.
smirk_dog 19th-Nov-2011 03:44 am (UTC)
I agree.
isntdaveone 18th-Nov-2011 01:26 am (UTC)
is she trying to get herself blacklisted or something?
civilsavage 18th-Nov-2011 01:54 am (UTC)
no just type-casted for life. tho i think most would agree that's already happened.
gorlfriend 18th-Nov-2011 01:26 am (UTC)

YOUR acting is not art. Pretty but I've seen HS productions of OUR TOWN with better actors.
