Mila Kunis’ weight gain a healthy move after dropping to 95 pounds for ‘Black Swan'


Mila Kunis showed off her much-needed weight gain in snug bell-bottom jeans, a striped tank top and a flowery maxi dress while on the Queens, N.Y., set. The Guillaume Canet-directed movie is about two Brooklyn-native brothers who become entangled with organized crime in the 1970s. The 28-year-old actress famously slimmed down to 95 pounds to star alongside Natalie Portman in "Black Swan," a film about the pressures of professional ballet dancing and the slow deterioration of one ballerina's psyche. Mila Kunis had to drop 20 pounds from her 5-foot, 4-inch frame to play the part of Lily.

"I don't think I ever fully realized what a human body is capable of doing. But I think I was also, in a beautiful way, incredibly naïve," Kunis told Glamour UK last summer. "I believed I could do anything. I never for one moment thought that I couldn't do it. I believe in hard work. In self-drive and self-worth."



"I'm a huge foodie, I love food. But when people say, 'I can't lose weight,' no no no, you can. Your body can do everything and anything, you just have to want to do it."

Both Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis were nominated for Oscars for their "Black Swan" roles. (lol no they weren't) Portman won the award for Best Actress for the film. She snacked on almonds and carrots to reach her weight loss goal, a goal that Kunis said was physically demanding.

"The physicality of training for seven days a week and being on a strict calorie count diet was by far the most demanding thing I've ever done," Kunis told the Wall Street Journal in December 2010. "[Losing weight] was simply the size that ballerinas are. However skinny I got, Natalie had to get skinnier. I was at 90-95 pounds and Nat was smaller than I was. Ballerinas are very fit -- it's bone, muscle and skin. There's nothing in between."

The Ukrainian beauty told Harper's Bazaar in March that her body has never been the same since the weight loss. "[My body] has never been the same," said Kunis. "My shape is different. When I got down to 95 pounds, I was muscles, like a little brick house, but skin and bones. When I gained it back, it went to completely different areas." She would like some areas to plump up a bit. "No, I'd be happy if my a-- got bigger. All the weight that left my chest went to my side hip, my stomach."

Mila Kunis is confident about her body, but, in 10 years, she said her tune could change. "I will not put a needle in my body unless I have a medical reason," she told Bazaar, "but ask me in 10 years. Right now, I'm like, 'I'm going to embrace it,' but ... I'm probably going to want to have something done. I have no doubt."

For now, she is happy with how she looks and feels. "People have interpretations of what you're supposed to be like. If you're unattractive and overweight, you must have a great personality. If you're attractive, then you must not be the nicest person. People are always taken aback that I'm easygoing but not necessarily stupid."

I like that the article isn't hating (despite not being exactly well written) on her weight gain, but I think she looked a lot better before.

She looks like she did in That 70's Show. I didn't really notice the weight gain?
robintheshrew 7th-Jun-2012 12:31 am (UTC)
Exactly, and she looked healthy back then. I remember she got so bummed out after Black Swan because her boobs shrunk.
kissmeimirish03 5th-Jun-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
She is still so tiny.
jcreds87 5th-Jun-2012 09:59 pm (UTC)
Seriously! I'm about her height and all I can say is, dang, she's still small.

nathanandbarry 6th-Jun-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
Really? How big is she supposed to be? That looks like a normal weight to me. Really tiny is Zoe Saldana. If I saw someone Mila's size on the street I would think nothing of it.
helders 7th-Jun-2012 02:03 am (UTC)
ia. i'm about her size (well, similar body shape but taller so i weigh more but it looks similar) and i am firmly average.
sugary_placenta 7th-Jun-2012 03:33 am (UTC)
yeah, she looks like she's back to "normal".
vanishingbee 5th-Jun-2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
I think she looked good before too, but if I held up a photo from her BS time and photo of her in this post, I would pick this post as looking healthier & stronger.
scientist 5th-Jun-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
she looks great but lawd, that outfit is really unflattering.
visual_elegance 7th-Jun-2012 11:26 am (UTC)
yeah but since I think she's filming (cuz her outfit matches the film's time period wonderfully) I'd blame the costume peeps.
jessography 5th-Jun-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
She's boxy. Love it.
hershelwalker 5th-Jun-2012 10:30 pm (UTC)
yeah, I never noticed before
autumn1234 6th-Jun-2012 02:36 am (UTC)
Mte, I'm the same, and that's a large reason as to why Ke$ha is my inspiration :x
jessography 6th-Jun-2012 02:47 am (UTC)
She's sooo boxy. It's so hard to dress when boxy!
mhmmm 9th-Jun-2012 07:04 pm (UTC)
apple shape! i feel like there aren't that many apples in hollywood. gain weight in the middle section, and a flat butt. sigh.
xx_rapunzel_xx 11th-Jun-2012 12:49 am (UTC)
that's kinda like me, actually!
homicidalslayer 5th-Jun-2012 09:45 pm (UTC)
I fell like if her boobs had grown just a bit with her, she wouldn't look like she had Bree Van der Kamp's/Terri Schuester's fake baby belly under her shirt.


That being said, good for her for choosing to move to a healthier weight class.

i can't even imagine weighing a double digit</i> weight. shit, man.
hiclasslowlife 5th-Jun-2012 09:47 pm (UTC)
if i was 95lbs i'd look so awful
even when i was 125ish my face looked sunken and gross
skeletwin 5th-Jun-2012 10:05 pm (UTC)
me too since i'm pretty tall
forgethissmile 5th-Jun-2012 10:09 pm (UTC)
I'm 5'10", so that idea is just unconscionable for me. Shit, the skinniest I've been at 5'10" is 130 and I looked SICK.
geminilove_ca 5th-Jun-2012 10:22 pm (UTC)
Same here. Someone took a pic of me at 133 pounds. I thought I looked awesome cause I was finally a size 6 again. The pic scared the crap out of me. My face was skeletal! I went to the dr and they said my body fat percentage was down to 10.5%!
ericasays 5th-Jun-2012 10:22 pm (UTC)
i wish i was so tall! :(
squishinator 5th-Jun-2012 10:30 pm (UTC)
i'm 5'9 and like 125 and i dont think i look SICK, at least I hope I dont? I wish just my face would gain a little weight though.
noahbb 5th-Jun-2012 11:05 pm (UTC)
i'm 5'8, typical asian super skinny male, and i weigh 135 lbs. i did a yearly check up, and when the results came in they said i had high cholesterol. my doctor told me i had to exercise and if you know me... i do NOT exercise, last time i did that was in my grade 11 gym class (i'm 20, btw).

so i've been exercising for two weeks straight for 45 mintes a day and it wasn't as bad as i thought. during the two weeks i exercised, i was on break. after the break, i had less time to exercise since i resumed back to school (summer courses). so my friends saw me and they said i look SUPER skinny now. i didn't think so, but everyone kept telling me. so when i got home i checked myself and... i'm now 120 lbs (-15lbs). i was so shocked.

my friend yesterday saw me and said i was skinny, especially my face (which i was quite happy about tbh cuz i always thought i had a fat face) but yea
goldynchickie 5th-Jun-2012 11:43 pm (UTC)
Hey fellow amazon goddess!!

I'm the same as you. I have a large frame so when I was at my skinniest, ~145 lbs, my dad was worried that I had an eating disorder. It during summer and I was taking classes. I didn't have a car to buy groceries, couldn't really cook at the time anyways, and the food place on campus closed early on campus during summer. So I dropped a good 15 lbs and I guess I was looking sickly to him :/
johnnyabatti 5th-Jun-2012 10:15 pm (UTC)
lol seriously. I'm 5'7 and my family is concerned at 115 lbs. I just eat healthy and do Pilates man back off my nuts
st00pidness 5th-Jun-2012 10:21 pm (UTC)
i'm the weight she was in black swan but i'm 5ft and not 20 yet
sitakhet 5th-Jun-2012 10:47 pm (UTC)
I lost 15-20 pounds in my second year of cégep (= first year Uni in the US) and I was down to 92lbs at some point. I'm only 5'1" so it didn't look horrifying, but I was still pretty gaunt. I can't imagine it on anyone taller than me.
sexi_panda 5th-Jun-2012 10:59 pm (UTC)
I'm 90 ibs and 5'1 but struggle to gain weight. I might weigh more now because i've been drinking protien stuff.
holdmedownxx 5th-Jun-2012 11:17 pm (UTC)
i'm 5'0/5'1 maybe and I weigh 94 pounds. I kind of hate it because I get comments about it all the time like 'OH GOD EAT!!!' i'm have a gluten allergy.

today somebody said to me "move, skinny cunt" and i was like are you SERIOUS because i was carrying a 7/11 bag with a snickers bar, m&ms, and chips.
ascot_gavotte 5th-Jun-2012 11:34 pm (UTC)
It only works if you're really short. I'm 5'0 and a double digit.
solookup 5th-Jun-2012 11:45 pm (UTC)
I was 95lbs last winter. I couldn't even look at myself in the mirror because I was so disgusted D:
kyelle 5th-Jun-2012 11:56 pm (UTC)
wtf @ these comments, weighing double digits isn't that odd for a small framed short girl and certainly doesn't look disgusting on a lot of people...
yaoidemon 6th-Jun-2012 12:44 am (UTC)
sometimes I have remember that double digit weight looks different on shorter people. I remember when I was lowest point of depression(and self esteem) I went from 125 to 97lbs and on my 5'6 *I guess small/medium frame* I looked sickly. I usually aim too much for the weight goal of a shorter person :/
chantonii 6th-Jun-2012 01:01 am (UTC)
Change pounds to kilos!
sergeant_duckie 6th-Jun-2012 04:50 am (UTC)
ia, but I'm 5' 10", so it'd be pretty unhealthy
helders 7th-Jun-2012 02:09 am (UTC)
yep i'm 5'6" and 135 and even the idea of getting to my "lowest healthy weight" of 115 is creepy to me
bohemianvixen 7th-Jun-2012 04:26 am (UTC)
My lowest was 98 pounds and I'm 5'4" tall. I looked sick esp. since I average at 120.
godramaclub 7th-Jun-2012 10:23 am (UTC)
Super tardy to the party but I dropped my ass down to 120lbs once because I was stressed out to the nines with my first hospital work placement and I looked like a ghost. I'm not even very tall. I'm one of those freaks that always looks way lighter than their weight. I'm 146lbs atm and nobody ever believes me because I'm heavier than my larger friends. Right now I'm aiming to get to 126lbs (9st) but tbh I think I'll stop before then. Damn, if I was a double figure I'd look horrible.
_scarlett_icons 11th-Jun-2012 12:50 pm (UTC)
If I was under 100, I'd look skeletal. I do need to go back down to 125. That was my ideal weight, for my height and shape.
luvthatdrtywata 5th-Jun-2012 09:46 pm (UTC)
i don't even understand the discussion of this "so-called" weight gain. i didn't notice anything different. maybe 5 pounds but who the fuck cares? she's still stunningly beautiful and thin.
squishinator 5th-Jun-2012 09:52 pm (UTC)
maybe 5lbs from what she was before black swan but she's gained a lot since that movie. she was sickly thin.
amkf 5th-Jun-2012 10:10 pm (UTC)
I noticed it, but I'm sensitive to that stuff.
forgethissmile 5th-Jun-2012 10:10 pm (UTC)
She was emaciated in Black Swan. You could see her ribs through her chest and her arms were the size of my wrist. Glad she's looking more ... actually fed.
shamrocka01 5th-Jun-2012 09:46 pm (UTC)
damn she's right she has absolutely no ass :( not hatin though, still think she's gorgeous
violue 5th-Jun-2012 09:47 pm (UTC)
