Mila Kunis, who was born in Soviet Ukraine, is speaking candidly about the impact the war in her homeland has had on her and the way she identifies.
The 38-year-old actress, who was born in Chernivtsi — about 170 miles southwest of Lviv — said Friday that although she’s “always considered myself very much an American,” something changed in her following Russian President Vladimir Putin’s deadly invasion of Ukraine late last month.
“This happens and I can’t express or explain what came over me, but all of a sudden ... I was like, oh my God, I feel like a part of my heart just got ripped out. It was the weirdest feeling,” the “Friends with Benefits” star told Maria Shriver during the latter’s “Conversations Above the Noise” web series.
