In the latest issue of Nylon magazine, Mila Kunis opens up about the difficult weight loss she underwent for her role as a ballerina in upcoming film 'Black Swan.'
"It was the most intense training I've ever had in my life, and probably will have for anything. I lost 20 pounds, so I went down to 95 pounds. I weigh 117 usually, like today. I looked like Gollum [from 'The Lord of the Rings']."
Kunis' preparation for the role was admittedly intense. She restricted herself to a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet and attended daily, four-hour ballet lessons.
Her disgust with her extreme weight loss seems to be Kunis' go-to interview tactic as she makes the rounds promoting the movie, in which she co-stars with Natalie Portman. The movie is receiving Oscar buzz for Best Picture, director Darren Aronofsky and for Portman's performance.
Promoting the film to E! Online, Kunis expanded on the weight-loss issue.
"My mom freaked out," Kunis said. "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.'"
She went further, saying that she hated her shapeless bod.
"I could see why this industry is so f****d up, because ... I would literally look at myself in the mirror and I was like, 'Oh my God!' I had no shape, no boobs, no ass ... all you saw was the bone. I was like, 'This looks gross,'" Kunis said. "It took me five months to lose 20 pounds, but it took me just five days -- days! -- to gain it all back."

Mila you look so much better with the weight gain....but you need to unhitch your star from culkin...you're too young to be in one relationship for so long. You need to experience life with some top notch kind of guys....such as Seth MacFarlane...you look great together...and he's so smart and successful. unhitch your wagon from Culkin...you'll be so sorry you didn't when you age. Take it from experience.

Black Swan very interesting. Portman was brilliant so was Mila I just wish we could have seen more of Mila and a little less of Portman.
