Mila Kunis jokes she relished in a two day holiday from her kids – Daily Mail

She has spent the pandemic locked down with her husband Ashton Kutcher and their children Wyatt, six, and Dimitri, four.

Yet Mila Kunis admitted that as much as she loves her kids, she was desperate for a two day break from them while filming a Super Bowl commercial with her husband. 

The actress, 37, joked about her brief getaway from her two children while appearing on the Ellen Show this week, as she admitted she thinks she’s a ‘horrible mom’.

Mila told how she and Ashton, 43, got an offer to star in the ‘funny’ Cheetos advert together, which aired during Sunday night’s Super Bowl.

Discussing receiving the offer, Mila said: ‘It was in the peak of the pandemic, it made no sense logically. We were quarantined as you know and I was dying to get out of the house. I was like I don’t care, I need to get out of the house.

‘I looked at it as a two-day vacation, and I was like we’re getting out and getting away from our children.

Mila explained that she thought she had Covid after going on the shoot but thankfully managed to avoid contradicting the virus.

She added: ‘But anyway I got two days away from my kids, I’m a horrible mom!’

The Family Guy voice actress, later joked: ‘I love my kids but they’re like dogs, they can sniff you out. They know what room you’re hiding in. You can’t get away from them.’

Ellen also quizzed her on how she felt ‘dry January’ went in their household, and she said: ‘Dry January, quickly turned to wet February. It was a horrible idea, I don’t know if you recall was it the 4th or 6th when the insurrection happened.

‘We were like, this was a mistake. We made a mistake. So come February 1 I was like oh lord, thank God.’

Mila appeared on the show to discuss her new film, Breaking News in Yuba Country, where she plays a local new reporter desperate for a story.

She also discussed previously filling in for Ellen as a guest host on the talk show and how nerve-racking it was for her. 

Mila explained it was reminiscent of her days filming That 70s Show, and Ellen divulges she heard there was a lot of swearing behind-the-scenes. 

Her appearance comes as it was revealed Netflix‘s steamy Regency-era series Bridgerton has made it into her and Ashton’s bedroom.

Ashton revealed that he thought he caught his wife ‘watching a porno’ in the middle of the night only to learn she was just catching up on a particularly sexy scene of Bridgerton.

The couple laughed off the understandable confusion during a virtual chat with Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager on the Today Show where they were promoting their new commercial.

‘So, I’m on episode five for anyone who’s seen it, y’all are aware what happens in episode five,’ Kunis told Hoda and Jenna to set up the story.

Fans of the 19th century drama comedy will recall that things really start to heat up in the bedroom between the Duke of Hastings and Daphne Bridgerton.

Mila continues: ‘I fall asleep by 9:30, I am out. It doesn’t matter what is on, I’m asleep. Last night, I clearly stayed up till midnight. I was like, “What’s happening in this show?”‘

‘He wakes up in the peak of the fifth episode and this is a TMI, but he literally goes, “Are you watching a porno?” He was so confused.’ 

Ashton chimed in: ‘She’s watching in the middle of the night, and I didn’t know what was going on. I was like, “Is there someone else in the bed?” It was terrifying!’

‘I was like, “Shhh, be quiet, this is a wedding!”‘ Mila quipped. 

Meanwhile, Hoda and Jenna were practically cackling hearing the story and assured the Bad Moms actress that the best was yet to come in the eight-part series. 

‘You’re cheating on me with this show!’ Ashton protested as his wife shared her excitement to keep watching. 

The international juggernaut is the biggest show in Netflix history, watched by a whopping 82million households worldwide in just a month.   

Bridgerton follows the self-titled family during marriage season as they present their eldest daughter to society to find a husband.
