From what we can tell, the Black Swan was a crazy intense movie to shoot.
Both Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis had to go to extreme measures to get into their characters. For her role, Mila slimmed down to less than 95 pounds, which she says her family wasn’t happy about.
“My mom freaked out. Everybody started panicking. She was like, ‘You have to promise me this isn’t going to affect you.’ I was like, ‘I promise it won’t, but it might take me a little time to be OK with having a little more fat on me.'”
Kunis says that she didn’t like being so skinny, and was happy to gain the weight back.
“I could see why this industry is so f**ked up, because at 95 pounds, I would literally look at myself in the mirror and I was like, ‘Oh my God! I had no shape, no boobs, no as… All you saw was bone. I was like, ‘This looks gross’. But in photographs and on film, it looked amazing… ├óΓé¼┼ô
She continued:
“It took me five months to lose 20 pounds, but it took me just five days – days! – to gain it all back.”
We’re glad she gained it back! That’s tooo skinny!
