Actress Mila Kunis sat down with “Entertainment Tonight” to discuss her new film, Luckiest Girl Alive and also talked about her husband, Ashton Kutcher’s, recent health scare. In an episode of “Running Wild with Bear Grylls” last month, Kutcher revealed that he had recently suffered from a rare form of the disease vasculitis. “[It] Knocked out my vision, knocked out my hearing, knocked out like all my equilibrium. It took me like a year to like build it all backup,” he had told show host Bear Grylls. “You don’t really appreciate it until it’s gone until you go, ‘I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be able to see again. I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to hear again, I don’t know if I’m going to be able to walk again. I’m lucky to be alive.” It has not been revealed what type of treatment Kutcher pursued to beat the disease, but the NIH does list various treatment options, including over-the-counter medications, prescription medications, and even surgery.

In discussing how she handled the situation, Kunis told ET, “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.” Kutcher and Kunis lead a very busy life indeed, with their two children Wyatt and Dimitri as well as Kutcher’s advocacy against human trafficking through his nonprofit, Thorn. Kutcher recently spoke about his preparation for the 2022 TCS New York City Marathon and his upcoming Peloton series, “Our Future Selves” which will feature him running alongside other celebrities to discuss the “why” of bettering themselves.

In addition to her new film, which was released in theaters on September 30th and on Netflix on October 7th, Kunis will be starring alongside her husband in That 90s Show. The show is a follow-up to That 70s Show, where Kunis and Kutcher originally met in 1998, although they did not date until many years later. The show will have Kunis and Kutcher reprising their roles as Jackie and Kelso, who are now married with a kid. Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp will also be returning as Red and Kitty as well as Topher Grace and Laura Prepon as Eric and Donna. Reflecting on what it is like to come back full circle to where she and her husband first met, Kunis said, “And then, you know, I don’t know, to be married, but be at the place where we met, and it looks the same was trippy. … We walked on set and I was like, ‘Oh, this is weird.’”
