At first, the girl was very difficult, and every day she returned home in tears. I did not understand people. I did not understand the language, ”the actress later recalled. Her essay about herself, written a few years later for admission to college, began with the words: "Imagine that at seven years you suddenly have shut up and deaf." To help her daughter adapt as soon as possible and start communicating with peers, Mark and Elvira arranged her in a children's acting circle at the Beverly Hills studio.

It is curious that when working on this series, Mila met with Eston Kutcher, who, many years after that, became her husband.

How Mila Kunis has changed next year, the actress played her first main role in the cinema - in the thriller “American Psychopath 2: One hundred percent American” with William Steutner.

" Even Mile Kunis did not like the sequel of the American Psychopath for a breakthrough for Mila’s cinematographic career was participating in the romantic comedy “In the flight” directed by Nicholas Stoller.
