Mila Kunis has said that she and husband Ashton Kutcher had no choice but to “power through” after he was diagnosed with a rare form of vasculitis.
Kutcher recently revealed that he’s "lucky to be alive" after he was diagnosed before the pandemic.
Reflecting on her other half’s health scare, Kunis shared: "So, this happened right before COVID, so this was three years ago. 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," the 39-year-old actress, who shares Wyatt, eight, and Dimitri, six, with Kutcher, told Entertainment Tonight.
According to the NHS, vasculitis involves inflammation of the blood vessels, causing them to become swollen and narrow.
It may be triggered by an infection or a medicine, although often the cause is unknown.
It can also range from a minor problem that just affects the skin, to a more serious illness that causes problems with organs like the heart or kidneys.
That ‘70s Show actor, 44, first opened up about the autoimmune disease during an episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge, explaining how it took a year to build up his senses.
He shared: "I had this weird, super-rare form of vasculitis, that, like, knocked out my vision, it knocked out my hearing, it knocked out, like, all my equilibrium.
"You don’t really appreciate it, until it’s gone.
"Until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to see again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’m ever going to be able to walk again.’"
Kutcher has since fully recovered and is currently training for the New York City marathon in November.
