Mila Kunis: I’m not that attractive
OHMYGOSSIP — Mila Kunis doesn’t have much confidence. The actress says she doesn’t think she’s attractive. “I appreciate the attention but I don’t think of myself as particularly attractive at all. I also don’t have that naturally sexual or sensuous way of behaving that some women have,” she said.
“I do have a pretty sharp sense of humor, though, and I think that has helped me. LA is filled with the most beautiful women in the world who all come here to be part of the entertainment industry. It’s impossible to compete against that.
“Some women rely on their looks to make it and others know that they need to work hard to not just be treated as a pretty object and have a serious career. So I’ve never bought into my own beauty myth and I have always worked hard and believed in myself as an actress in order to get where I am.
“Nothing was ever given to me and that’s the way it is for virtually everyone. You have to fight very hard to make it in this business.”
Kunis recently revealed that she started acting because her family couldn’t afford a babysitter.
The Ukranian-born actress moved to Los Angeles with her family when she was seven years old and enrolled in a drama class as a way to meet other children.
“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.’ “
