Hollywood star Mila Kunis briefly attended UCLA and Loyola Marymount University because she “was very keen on getting a college degree.” The “Luckiest Girl Alive” star admitted feeling the pressure to head to university because her “whole family is college educated” before she briefly attended UCLA and Loyola Marymount University, leaving before she earned her degree, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

While appearing on SiriusXM’s ‘The Jess Cagle Podcast with Julia Cunningham’, the 39-year-old actress said: “I was very keen on getting a college degree. Not for any reason other than I thought I should or had to, because my whole family is college educated. So, I was like, well, clearly, that’s what one does.”

Kunis called her school life “erratic” because of her commitments filming “That ‘70s Show” — the sitcom on which she first met her husband Ashton Kutcher, with whom she now has eight-year-old daughter Wyatt and five-year-old son Dmitri. She said: “And so I went through the public school system, so I had tutors when I was shooting and then when you do sitcoms, you do, there’s a schedule of like three weeks on one week off, two weeks on one week off three front, whatever.”

“So during that one week, you as an adult, you can do other projects, if you have time or you can do other things. I just went back to public school. So the erratic behaviour was probably popping in and out of my public high school and then going back and doing schoolwork on sets.” “I never looked at it as anything weird or strange. It was just like, my norm.”

The “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” star feels she “never missed out” on a typical adolescence due to her fame because she grew up pre-social media. Kunis said: “I was in high school before social media. I mean any form of it. There was no Facebook. I don’t even think MySpace, I think. MySpace happened right after I was in high school.”

Meanwhile, “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.
