Mila Kunis appeared on “Baywatch”. Twice!
The “A Bad Moms Christmas” star reveals that surprising fact in a new sit-down with co-star Kathryn Hahn for the new issue of The Edit.
Asked about her earliest days in acting, Kunis says, “From [age] nine. I did ‘Days of Our Lives’, ‘Baywatch’… You would die. I was on ‘Baywatch’ twice – two different characters. Once I was blind. I got lost in a fire and had to be saved.
“At the end of that episode I was boogie boarding. I was a blind boogie boarder.”
The 34-year-old also talks about her life as a mother with her husband Ashton Kutcher, and the anxiety that comes from raising kids. “My anxiety was this morning in traffic for 15 minutes,” she says. “trying to have a conversation with my kids while they were getting ready. That’s my anxiety: my babies!”
“Ashton and I wanted kids so bad; we were so ready to be parents,” Kunis continues. “We were able to have this little family the way we wanted, and I’m so grateful for it and it’s the one thing that I can’t control. [My kids are] where my vulnerability is. My job, it comes and goes. You don’t get a job, you get a job, you don’t get a job. Your kids, you just want one thing. […] That’s where I become a mess.”
Talking about what she’s learned as she’s come up through Hollywood, Kunis says she discovered the power of saying “no.”

“When I was 19, I made a conscious decision to surround myself with people [who are] better and smarter than I am,” Kunis explains. “Prior to that point, any job that came my way, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do this piece of s***! Who cares, acting’s fun.’ When I decided it was going to be my career, I reined everything in: ‘No, I don’t want to do this movie – it’s great on paper, but I’m gonna hold out.’ It’s all false bravado; internally, I was like, Oh my God, I’m f****** up!”
