Mila Kunis says her and Ashton Kutcher had to 'power through' as he suffered health scare

Mila Kunis has claimed her and husband Ashton Kutcher simply had to "power through" his health scare in 2019 as they had no other choice.

The actress, 39, said there was simply no time for the pair to sit and talk about Ashton's rare form of vasculitis as they had to keep their focus on their young kids.

The A Lot Like Love star, 44, suffered from the condition which, according to the NHS, involves the immune system attacking healthy blood vessels, causing them to become swollen and narrow. And he previously told Bear Grylls how he felt lucky to be alive after it took over a year for him to recover.

And now, Mila has confessed to Entertainment Tonight how they powered through the scary time together.

"So, this happened right before COVID, so this was three years ago," she said. "I don't think you have time to sit down and talk, you kinda just power through.

"You go and deal with whatever health issue comes your way, but you still got kids, you still got a family, you have to live life. And I think that we are so fortunate to have one another, but as far as sitting there and incessantly talking about things, no. You gotta do."

Earlier this year, Mila was named among Time's 100 Most Influential. Her inclusion led to Ashton - with whom she shares children Wyatt, 7, and Dimitri, 5 - joking he will never be able to win a family argument again.

He made light of his wife's accolade on social media after Guardians of the Galaxy star Zoe Saldana's gushing endorsement of her. Zoe wrote: "There’s this old-soul quality you receive from Mila Kunis the moment you meet her.

"She gives 100% to each and every one of her roles: as a mother, as a wife, as a daughter, as a granddaughter, as a friend, as a producer, as an actor. She goes all in, and she cares a great deal."

She went on to describe her amazing ability to transform into a character and labelled her a "curious individual, hungry for conversations that are important."

That was clear when Mila, who was born in Ukraine, started fundraising for fellow Ukrainians who had been effected by the country's war with Russia.

To date, Mila and Ashton have helped to raise over $36 million (£34 million). Their efforts have been publicly praised by the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky.
