    EXCLUSIVE! Mila Kunis spoke to Marie Claire about battling against her work ethic

    Mila Kunis may be hot Hollywood property right now with six films in the pipeline but as she promotes her latest cinematic release, Oz: The Great and the Powerful, she reveals to Marie Claire that she’d like to slow down.

    MILA KUNIS: MAKING MOVIES CAN GET TOO MUCH

    But it’s not as easy for Mila Kunis as some may think, she’s had a fierce work ethic installed in her since she was young thanks to her Ukrainian parents who moved to America and worked incredibly hard.

    Mila tells us: ‘I was raised to [believe] – by watching my parents – is that you live to work. That’s not healthy, but that’s what I saw and so it creates this work ethic in you that you can’t shake off.’

    In fact it’s been hard for the star to cut down her work load and she’s had to retrain herself to think an entirely different way adding: ‘Now I am learning to work to live, and I want to have fun with it.’
