Mila Kunis lied about her age to bag ‘That ’70s Show’

‘Black Swan’ star Mila Kunis has confirmed a longstanding rumour about how she landed her breakout role as Jackie Burkhart on ‘That ’70s Show’.
The actress revealed to Vanity Fair that in order to bag the role, she lied about her age. Kunis was 14 years old at the time, but the rumour claims she told the show’s creators she was 18 years old in order to audition, as the network was only looking for older teen actors, reports Variety.
“There’s a rumour going around that I may or may not have lied about my age,” Kunis said. “I’d like to make it very clear now that I did lie. I did.”
“However, by the time I went to what was then a producer’s network call, you have to sign a contract before you get the job and in my contract I had to put an asterisk for ‘studio teacher,'” she added, quoted by Variety.
“They were like, ‘What do you mean?’ And I was like, ‘Oh P.S., I’m 14.’ But at that point if you talk to the creators, they were like, ‘We loved you at that point so what did we care?'”
As per Variety, though Kunis lied about her age to get her foot in the door to audition, co-creators Bonnie and Terry Turner were well aware she was a 14-year-old by the time the show started filming.
“It was in the heyday of older kids playing younger kids and I was actually of the age of the character,” Kunis added. “I was never treated as lesser then. If I was, by one of the cast members, another cast member would stand up for it. The reason I don’t do drugs was because nobody on the set did. And I looked up to them at 14. The trajectory of my career could’ve gone any which way but the set was cool.”
Variety further states that Kunis will be reprising the role of Jackie on Netflix’s upcoming sequel series ‘That ’90s Show’, but the streamer is yet to announce a release date.
The actor promised fans last month that ‘That ’90s Show’ is “very cute,” adding that “Anyone who has ever watched or loved ‘That ’70s Show’ will be really happy with it.”

Salman Khan REDUCES Fees For Bigg Boss 19, To Charge ₹150 Crore For 15 Weeks Of Hosting: Report

Bigg Boss 19 is set to premiere in August, with Salman Khan returning as the host. This season is expected to be the longest yet, spanning five months. However, there has been no official confirmation so far. Earlier reports suggested that Salman Khan will host the show for the first three months, while Farah Khan, Karan Johar, and Anil Kapoor may take over hosting duties in the final two months.
Salman Khan To Charge Rs 150 Crore For Bigg Boss 19
Salman will reportedly earn approximately Rs 120-150 crore for hosting over 15 weeks, with a per-weekend fee of Rs 8-10 crore. This marks a significant pay cut compared to previous seasons; he was reportedly paid Rs 250 crore earlier, while his fee for Bigg Boss 17 was around Rs 200 crore.
According to several reports, this year, the Bigg Boss 19 house is set to have a ‘Rewind’ theme. While the exact pros and cons of the theme have not been disclosed yet, it surely will make the game tougher for the contestants.
The ‘secret room’, which was once a part of the Bigg Boss house, is set to make a comeback this season. Also, in a shocking twist, the audience will nominate housemates for eviction this year and not the contestants themselves. However, the contestants will then fight to save themselves from the evictions.
Salman Khan’s Work Front
Salman was last seen in Sikandar alongside Rashmika Mandanna in the lead, however, the film did not perform well at the box office.
Next, he has Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. In the film, Salman will play the role of an army officer.

Fish Venkat Death: Telugu Actor Passes Away At 53 Due To Kidney Disease

Telugu actor and comedian Fish Venkat passed away on Friday, July 18, 2025, at the age of 53. Reportedly, he was suffering from kidney disease and breathed his last at a hospital in Hyderabad. Fish Venkat, whose real name was Venkat Raj, was admitted to the hospital after he suffered kidney failure, and the actor was in the ICU in need of a kidney transplant.
A few days ago, Venkat’s daughter, Sravanthi, had told One India that the treatment of his father would cost Rs. 50 lakh, and Prabhas’ team had offered them financial support. She had stated, “Daddy isn’t well at all. He is very serious and in the ICU. He needs a kidney transplant. It will cost us at least ₹50 lakh. Prabhas’ assistant called us and offered financial assistance. They asked us to inform them when his transplant happens to cover the cost.”
However, later a family member of the actor had spoken to Suman TV and revealed that the call was fake and they didn’t receive any help from Prabhas. The family member said, “Actually, nothing like that happened. We have been answering every call we get to see if anyone can help us. Some unknown person called us pretending to be Prabhas Anna’s assistant. We found out after that it was a fake call. He doesn’t even know something like this is happening. We have not received any financial help yet.”
Who Was Fish Venkat?
The actor was born in Machilipatnam, Andhra Pradesh. He started his career with the 2000 release Sammakka Sarakka and was known for his amazing comic timing. In his career spanning more than two decades, Fish Venkat starred in many popular films like Kushi, Bunny, Adhurs, Gabbar Singh, DJ Tillu, and others.
