Mila Kunis describes 'meet-cute' with Ukraine's Zelenskyy before he became president

"That '70s Show" star Mila Kunis had a self-desribed meet-cute with fellow Ukrainian Volodymyr Zelenskyy, long before he was elected president of the embattled European nation in 2019.

Kunis — who on Wednesday was named among People magazine's People of the Year for fundraising efforts benefiting her war-torn homeland — shared the details of their first meeting, which came nearly a decade ago when a remake of the comedian-turned-politician's TV series "Servant of the People" was being shopped around Hollywood.

"I had a deal with ABC, and I was trying desperately to bring the show to the network. We ultimately got outbid, but in the process, I talked to this actor named Zelenskyy," Kunis told the magazine.
