In 2010, Mila Kunis starred in a romantic comedy with Justin Timberlake. But she doesn’t only have good memories of the shooting…
When Mila Kunis, 39, thinks back to the shooting of the film “Friends with Benefits” with Justin Timberlake, 41, from 2010, the only words that come to mind are: “Bad!” Because when the Hollywood star met the boy band’s former teen heartthrob “NSYNC” was in front of the camera on the streets of New York, all hell broke loose.
Mila Kunis: Thousands of people stared at her while filming with Justin Timberlake
Today, the US romantic comedy is one of the genre favorites. In it, Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake play two friends who decide to sleep together – but without being in a relationship, which eventually turns out to be complicated. But the work on the film was also difficult and still causes the wife of actor Ashton Kutcher, 44, to shake his head.
In an interview with the US magazine “Vanity Fair” she recalls: “Working with Justin was good until you were on the streets of New York City. He was young and enthusiastic about acting and super present and great. And then you went public with him and it was like the Beatles. I’ve never experienced that in my life!” What does Kunis mean by that? A number of fans rushed in to catch a glimpse of their idol, Timberlake, who was on hiatus from filming after the release of his hit solo album FutureSex/LoveSounds.

“No one should experience that”
“I’m not kidding: It was like a sea of 1,000 people just staring at you,” says mother Wyatt Isabelle, 8, and Dimitri Portwood, 5, on. “You have an interesting life, homie. I wish you the best of luck,” she told her film colleague at the time, adding: “I thought I had it bad. That’s bad! Working with him was great, but up with him no one should experience being on the street.”
