Ukraine-born, Mila Kunis reveals she used to tell people she was Russian
Lead actress Mila Kunis has opened up about her feelings and thoughts on recent events in Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.
The Ukraine-born actress, who recently sat down with Maria Shriver for her digital series, #ConversationsAboveTheNoise, shared how she feels about the ongoing war between her country and Russia.
“It is irrelevant to me that I come from Ukraine. It never matters, ”said the Friends with Benefits actress.
She also revealed that she would tell people that she was Russian. "I'm from Russia" for several reasons. One of them, when I came to the States, and I would tell people I was from Ukraine, the first question I would get was 'Where is Ukraine?' And then I have to explain Ukraine and where it is on the map."
She remembered people telling her that she was from Ukraine, creating another confusion as not many of them knew where it was. "While it was easier to tell them that she was Russian," she said, "I was like, Great, I'll just tell the people of Russia."
The Bad Moms actress also stated that, "everything changed" when Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24. "I feel like a part of my heart has exploded. It was the strangest feeling," she said.
Kunis and her family fled Soviet Ukraine to settle in the United States in 1991.
