Following her debut in the 1990s and brief appearances in numerous shows and movies, Mila Kunis landed her first prominent role in the FOX sitcom That ’70s Show, which later paved the way for her role in the hit sitcom Family Guy, a part she continues to play to this day.
Since her early career, Kunis has evolved into a global icon, acclaimed not just for her acting prowess but also for her captivating beauty. She has been honored as one of the world’s most beautiful women, achieving this recognition three times in four consecutive years.
Mila Kunis Has Ranked Among Top 5 Most Beautiful Women Three Times
After kickstarting her journey with That ’70s Show, Mila Kunis has transitioned to success in Hollywood with acclaimed roles in films like Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Black Swan and has achieved high acclaim for her performances.
The Blood Ties actress has since expanded into producing and embracing more creative challenges. And she has also lined up some projects alongside esteemed actors like Michael Keaton and Daniel Craig.
Along with her on-screen performances, Kunis has been celebrated for her timeless and refined beauty, earning a place among the world’s most beautiful women three times in four consecutive years from 2009 to 2012.
Kunis initially ranked fifth in Maxim Magazine’s Hot 100 list of the world’s most beautiful women in 2009. While she missed out in 2010, the actress made a strong return the following year, once again securing a coveted spot in the top five in 2011.
In 2012, Kunis landed third place on Maxim Magazine’s Hot 100 list of the world’s most beautiful women, following Israeli supermodel Bar Refaeli and actress Olivia Munn in first and second spots, respectively. Kunis’s beauty and allure continued to be celebrated, culminating in her recognition as Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive in the subsequent years.
Mila Kunis Reflected on Landing the Role of Meg in Family Guy
While still portraying Jackie Burkhart on That ’70s Show, Mila Kunis discovered an opportunity to audition for another Fox sitcom, Family Guy. In a conversation with the Los Angeles Times, the actress revealed that she learned about the audition while working on the Fox sitcom.
The role of Meg Griffin became available after Lacey Chabert left due to her busy schedule with school and other commitments. And the Ted star grabbed the opportunity and auditioned for the part. She shared,
Somebody else was doing the voice of Meg. So said person left the show. I was on [“That ’70s Show.”] And [Fox says], “There’s an audition for this show that hasn’t aired yet.” Unlike these professionals, I didn’t read the script.
Kunis, who was also balancing school at the time, admitted that initially, she was criticized for speaking too quickly and not enunciating clearly. “I kept getting told that I speak too fast. And I don’t enunciate,” she recalled.
However, with guidance from the creator of the show, Seth MacFarlane, she adjusted her approach and successfully secured the role. Family Guy has since become the longest-running project of Kunis’s career, spanning nearly 25 years, with the upcoming season continuing its legacy.
Family Guy is available to stream on Prime Video and Hulu.
