Mila Kunis Dishes on Her Past Relationship With Macaulay Culkin
Before Mila Kunis found her happily-ever-after with husband Ashton Kutcher, she had a long-term relationship with Macaulay Culkin. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show on Tuesday, the 32-year-old actress reflected on her time with the former child star and the “abnormal” fandom that surrounded him.
“He was huge,” the Bad Moms star said when asked about his celebrity at the time. “He was huge because you couldn’t walk down the street with him.”
The two began dating when she was just 18 years old, and Kunis revealed that fans would scream when they saw him on the street. “They didn’t know how to react,” she explained. “It wasn’t like a normal response to a celebrity. Fans responded in a very abnormal way to him.”
During their eight-year relationship, the brunette beauty maintained that she had no interest in tying the knot. “Since I was like 16, I told my dad, ‘Just so you know, I don’t believe in marriage,’” Mila told Stern.
But all that changed when she reconnected with her former co-star on That ’70s Show. “We started dating with the idea that we both were never going to get married,” she said. “I was like, ‘I’m never getting married,’ and he was like, ‘Great! Neither am I,’” she recalled. “A year later we’re like, ‘Tomorrow let’s get married!’”
Kunis admitted that privacy is still hard to come by and says the paparazzi are more invasive than ever. “Today, you literally can’t walk outside of your house,” she said.
Her ex mirrored that sentiment recently during an interview with the Guardian where he revealed that he has no interest in fame. “I don’t just turn my back. I actively don’t want it,” Culkin said. “I was thinking about this the other day. I’d crossed the wrong street, picked up a tail — suddenly there’s a crush of 20 paparazzi. Then people with cameraphones get involved. I don’t think I’m worthy of that.”
For years, the 35-year-old actor has been the subject of tabloid fodder, and he made sure to set the record straight about those rumors of a drug addiction. “No, I was not pounding six grand [worth] of heroin every month or whatever,” he said, adding, “The thing that bugged me was tabloids wrapping it all in this weird guise of concern. No, you’re trying to shift papers.”
