Mila Kunis gets a lesson in U.K. pub culture in awkward-yet-charming BBC interview
@laurahertzfeld
As entertainment reporters, we’ve done our fair share of junkets, and certainly know how Chris Stark feels in his interview with Mila Kunis for BBC Radio 1, below. Talking to a celebrity for the first time can be intimidating, but Kunis puts the nerve-rattled Stark at ease and lets him talk about what he knows best — his lads, football (that’s soccer to you), steak-and-ale pies, and a concoction called the lad bomb (Jaegermeister + Red Bull and vodka) — that we hope never catches on in the States.
When Kunis gets going on the questions Stark is supposed to be asking about her upcoming film Oz The Great and Powerful, she handily rattles off the answers to the questions everyone asks, making Stark, who contributes to BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills Show, look genius and any other junket interview look, well, boring.
Check it out below:
It’s not the first time Kunis has had the last laugh at a press interview. Last year in Moscow while promoting Friends with Benefits, Kunis stuck up for her co-star Justin Timberlake by firing back at a reporter in Russian.
