Mila Kunis gained 20 lbs in 5 days

By Alexandra Heilbron on May 16, 2011 | 5 Comments


Mila Kunis has revealed that after she completed filming Black Swan, she gained back the 20 pounds she’d lost for the role in just five days. She told Live magazine: “I trained four hours a day, seven days a week, for seven months. I had one day off on my birthday and half a day off for the Emmys and the Golden Globes. On those days my ballet instructor worked with me from 5 am to 11 am, then I went to hair and make-up and on to the awards shows. I lost 20 pounds. Aesthetically, I had to look like a ballerina and hold myself like one. By the end, I was 95 pounds. All you saw was bone. It looked disgusting, but in photographs and on film it looked amazing. It took me five months to lose the weight, but just five days to gain it all back.”

    Beautiful and good actress, I hope we see more and more of her. Not that skinny though.

    I’m glad she thought the 95lbs version of herself was disgusting. Be a roll model for little girls out there and let them know that you can have curves and meat on your bones.

    I have to applaud Mila for her pride in putting the weight she lost back onto her body, after her role in Black Swan. It’s refreshing to read women loving their body and recognizing that skin covered bone, is about as attractive as a corpse.
    Mila, thank you for being such an excellent role model for the younger generations. Hollywood has made itself a role model, therefore the actors are in fact role models themselves. More so even, if they claim they didn’t ask to be a role model and most certainly don’t want that role. While I understand the desire for individuality, however with fame, comes a form of responsibility that includes the (dreaded) role model title. With todays media, there isn’t much you can do about it these days, Hollywood Heros!

    To Mila Kunis – An exceptional addition to this generation’s, Hollywood Hero.
    Also, you look fabulous without your ballerina body!

    That’s a lot in 5 days, but good for her. She looks sickly in the photo above. I’m glad she gained the weight back.
