Mila Kunis is an American actress. She is known for her roles on That ’70s Show, and in the movies Piranha (1995), Santa with Muscles, Gia, Krippendorf’s Tribe, Get Over It, American Psycho 2, After Sex, Moving McAllister, Boot Camp, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Max Payne, Extract, The Book of Eli, Date Night, Black Swan, Friends with Benefits, Ted, The Color of Time, Oz the Great and Powerful, Blood Ties, Third Person, The Angriest Man in Brooklyn, Jupiter Ascending, Bad Moms, The Spy Who Dumped Me, Wonder Park, Four Good Days, Breaking News in Yuba County, and Luckiest Girl Alive.
She was born in Chernov’tsi, the daughter of Elvira, a physics teacher who ran a pharmacy, and Mark Kunis, a mechanical engineer and cab driver. Her parents are both Jewish. Her family moved to the U.S. when she was seven years old, in 1991, settling in Los Angeles, California. She spoke Russian growing up.
Mila is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, with whom she has two children.
Three of Mila’s grandparents are named Boris, Roza/Rosa, and Yitzhak.
A 23andMe DNA test taken by Mila stated that her genetic ancestry is:
*96%-98% Ashkenazi Jewish
Mila has also said:
The amount of guilt that I’ve perfected the use of – already on my 3-year-old – is magical… I took a 23 and Me test, where you find out… what’s your DNA… and I’m thinking “I’m going to be exotic… there’s going to be something wonderful about me.” No, ya’ll, I am 96% Ashkenazi Jew. You know what that means? I’m inbred. I am really Jewish, you guys. There is nothing about me that’s exotic. I am a Jew. You know what that means? Guilt.

Kunis in 2011
she doesn’t look very exotic to me
to most people (especially americans), any brunette = exotic. yes, as stupid as that is, that is how they think.
even more so when she has a light or “weird” eye color like Mila.
yes, it is entirely stupid to call someone exotic looking based off their coloring or heritage but that is what people do. SMH
I mean, commentars at that site are very funny. There are two groups of”patients”. The first group called “jews”all persons with 1% jewish blood, f.e. “Beckham is a jew” (Levang.)
Another group claims about full jews: “he’s polish and
romanian” (Keitel, Hofmann) or even TURK(lol) about Kunis.
Which group is more insane?
Sadly, I’m not a psychiatrist
And my is “she’s a gypsy”
I don’t understand why people on this site are so obsessed with Jewish people in the first place. It’s borderline weird.
By the way, I checked the people on that list, and with the exception of David Chase, everyone on is Jewish. Natalie Portman, Bob Dylan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Logan Lerman, Bob Saget, Paul Rudd, Bar Refaeli, Steven Spielberg, Woody Allen, Erin Heatherton, Tony Curtis, Joel Coen, Ethan Coen, Esti Ginzburg, Debra Messing, Jesse Eisenberg, Peggy Lipton, Mark Zuckerberg, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Julian Morris, Mel Brooks, Lisa Kudrow, Katie Segal, Scott Mechlowicz, Michelle Trachtenberg, James Lipton, Odeya Rush, Bette Midler, Barbara Streisand, Dustin Hoffman, Kirk Douglas, Kat Dennings, and Martin Landau are all fully Jewish. There are plenty of others that are full as well.
The rest of the people on the list have one Jewish parent or one Jewish grandparent, making them a half or a quarter.
You said it yourself that this site is about ethnicity. So whether you like it or not, the majority of the people she listed have recent Jewish ancestry.
it’s a great difference “jew” or a “person with some
jewish ancestry”. Don’t be a more strikt Nazi, as Hitler.
I’m confused.
I read commentaries and laugh
