10 Interesting Facts About Ashton Kutcher And Mila Kunis
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are one of Hollywood’s most interesting couples.
The pair met on the set of That 70s Show in 1998. Can you believe that Mila Kunis was only 14 years old when she started filming That 70s Show? Ashton Kutcher was 19 years old at the time, and the couple has later said that the age difference made their fictional onscreen relationship “awkward and uncomfortable.” Needless to say, things were never romantic until much later.
Mila went on to date Macauley Culkin for ten years, and Ashton Kutcher famously married Demi Moore. They both broke up with their respective partners in 2011, before reuniting in 2012 and becoming romantically involved.
Now they’re regarded as one of America’s favorite famous couples. But you may not know the following interesting facts about Ashton and Mila.
1. Mila Kunis Didn’t Learn English Until She Was 8
Mila Kunis’s parents escaped Ukraine after they faced religious persecution for being Jewish. They arrived in Los Angeles with a family of seven and $250. Mila’s parents sent her to acting classes to help her improve her English skills!
Mila is now fully fluent in both English and Russian and speaks Russian with her children and family. In a Reddit AMA from 2015, she said that she now dreams in English. Despite being able to speak and listen to Russian fluently, Mila later said that she can no longer read in Cyrillic.
2. Ashton Kutcher Shares A Surprising Similarity With Stephen Hawking

3. Mila Kunis Worked At Rite-Aid While Starring In A Hit Sitcom
When you think of young starlets like Miley Cyrus or Lindsay Lohan, you certainly can’t imagine them working in a Rite-Aid while starring in hit shows! But down-to-earth Mila had to work in Rite-Aid every night after finishing a day filming That 70s Show. Mila’s mom was the manager of Rite-Aid, and Mila was unable to get a ride home until her mom finished her shift, so she ended up working there part-time.

6. Mila Kunis Is Known For Being Frugal With Her Money
In a podcast with Conan O’Brian, Mila Kunis discussed how immigrating to the United States from Ukraine gave her a different perspective on the value of a dollar. Unlike other celebrities who drop thousands of dollars on diamonds and private jets, Mila Kunis prefers to hold on to her money and spend it wisely. On a talk show, Mila confessed that her wedding ring was purchased online for only $90. This is a sharp contrast to Mariah Carey, whose engagement ring from billionaire James Packer cost a cool $10 million dollars!!
