It's family before work for Mila Kunis
Press Trust of India London Actress Mila Kunis says she "wouldn't even flinch" about turning down jobs so she could be with her husband Ashton Kutcher and their 21-month-old daughter Wyatt Isabelle.
The "Black Swan" star said she waited a little longer to start a family because she wanted to give her undivided attention to her child, reported Female First.
"I got - knock on wood - very lucky. But I did choose. I took a chunk of time off. If it were up to [Ashton], we would have had kids much sooner. But I had contracts for films I had to do. I was like, 'Let me finish this last thing, 'Jupiter Ascending', and we're a go. I'm going to take a solid break from acting.'
"And let me tell you, when I would get a call with an offer, I wouldn't even flinch. I was like, 'No, I'm pregnant.' 'No, I have a baby.' I wasn't ready to go back. I was so happy saying no that I knew it was the right decision," she said.
The 32-year-old actress said she was never worried about not getting any jobs when she returned to work after giving birth.
"I was OK with it. And I was like, 'Whatever will happen will happen.' As an actor, you travel so much. It isn't great for a marriage," Kunis said.
"In a marriage, you and your partner come first. And unless you and your partner are happy, that kid's never going to be happy. I ultimately started my production company, so I have a 9-to-5. I can't not work. I don't know what it's like to not work; my family embedded that in me.
