Mila Kunis barely had any days off when she was preparing for the film. Speaking with the Daily Mail, she dished that she had to drop 20 pounds to look the part. “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…” she detailed. “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.”
She assured, though, that she didn’t resort to drastic measures to shed the pounds. It was the result of her hard work. “I didn’t starve myself. I did do it in the healthiest way possible. I don’t recommend anybody ever doing it,” she told Howard Stern, noting that her routine was starkly different from what she had when she was younger, with a diet of under 1,200 calories coupled with cigarette smoking.

While Kunis did gain her normal weight back, she admitted to Harper’s Bazaar that her body was never the same again. “My shape is different. When I got down to 95 pounds, I was muscles, like a little brick house, but skin and bones. When I gained it back, it went to completely different areas.” And it wasn’t even in areas where she’d hoped the fat would go. “All the weight that left my chest went to my side hip, my stomach,” she added.
