Mila Kunis opens up about being a huge fan of murder mysteries

Hollywood star Mila Kunis, who has worked in films such as “Black Swan,” “Friends with Benefits and “Bad Moms,” has said that she’s a huge fan of murder mysteries. The 42-year-old actress stars alongside the likes of Daniel Craig, Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, and Cailee Spaeny in “Wake Up Dead Man,” the latest movie in the “Knives Out” franchise. The Hollywood star, who is married to actor Ashton Kutcher, told Extra: “I really enjoy murder mysteries ... I used to have murder mystery parties ... A friend of my mine, who was like a young writer, like, we would invite 15 people to the house, my old roommate and I, and he would write a script for all of us, and we would all play different characters and only he would know who the dead person was and who did it.

“We would order, like, takeout and we would sit there and eat, and while you, and read a script, and sometimes you’d have to act things out. It was really fun, and then like halfway through dinner someone’s like ... and then you’re like, ‘Wait, how did they die?’ It’s really funny.”

Kunis had initially felt anxious about starring in the latest “Knives Out” movie. However, her co-stars and director Rian Johnson ultimately made her feel at home, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The actress shared: “Thankfully everyone was great and kind and it was a beautiful experience ... I also think, like, you’re dumb if you don’t, if you hesitate at all, getting a call (from) Rian Johnson because everyone knows in this industry that this is the best set to be part of, and so for me it was being a fan of Rian and then I get to work with the top, the most top-tier actors, huge fans of all of them.”

Meanwhile, Kunis recently revealed that she feared working with Daniel Craig could “go either way” after they teamed up for “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.”

Kunis shared she had high hopes for her onscreen partnership with the former James Bond star because his wife Rachel Weisz is “such a wonderful human”.

“I was like: ‘There’s no way that (Craig) won’t be a wonderful person to work with ... (But on day one I thought) ‘This could go either which way. This is going to be a really lovely production, or we’re going to be in our own (bubbles, and) it’s going to be fine’,” She told people.com.

“I would say within the first two hours, Daniel set the greatest tone for not only the cast, but also the crew,” Kunis said. She went on to say: “When you step onto the set every morning, it’s just like a lovely: ‘We’ve got this, we’re going to have fun, we’re going to do it, we’re going to work hard, but we’re going to respect one another’.”
