Mila Kunis (BBCRadioi1 via YouTube)
Mila Kunis’ sit-down with bumbling BBC journalist Chris Stark has gone viral.
The charmingly awkward chat was supposed to be an interview for Kunis’ new movie “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” but it went startlingly off-message within minutes.
For starters, this was Stark’s opening statement: “Seriously I’m petrified…I’ve never done this before.”
“They’re just throwing you in the trenches,” Kunis said, sympathetically.
The British journo’s next question was another face palm. When asking the beauty about the prosthetics she wore for her role as a witch he asked, “Did you enjoy being ugly for once? Because generally like, you know, you’re hot.”
They then chatted about “lad bombs” (vodka redbulls with a shot of jager), the chicken restaurant Nando’s and “Baywatch.”
He even asked Kunis if she would like to accompany him and his friends to a Watford soccer match where they would wear bright yellow jerseys, drink pints and eat steak and ale pies.
Kunis didn’t say yes but was charmed by her star-struck interviewer, saying “This is the best interview I’ve had today!”
Since its debut on YouTube yesterday, the interview has gathered more than 400K views.
Stark later told BBCRadio1 in a interview that “It all felt very odd. I was so scared.”
Apparently Stark was told that he had 10 minutes to prepare for his interview with the stunning actress.
