In a recent episode of Alan Carr: Chatty Man, two of Hollywood’s hottest stars, Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake, sat down to discuss their new film, “Friends with Benefits.” The chat show host, Alan Carr, eagerly welcomed the duo to his last show of the series with a bang. The excitement in the audience was palpable as the applause filled the room.
Alan wasted no time in offering his guests a drink, and they were delighted to indulge in some high-quality Caribbean twist cocktails. As the conversation turned to their new film, Mila and Justin explained the concept behind “Friends with Benefits.” They play characters who, after ending their previous relationships, drunkenly stumble upon the idea of having a purely physical relationship. While the term may have a risqué connotation, the film explores the comedic elements of such an arrangement.
As expected, Alan couldn’t help but inject some humor into the discussion. He wondered if having a friends with benefits relationship meant enjoying the benefits of universal healthcare and good dental coverage. Mila and Justin played along, joking about the perks that come with it.
The trio delved deeper into the film, discussing the challenges and misconceptions surrounding friends with benefits relationships. Mila pointed out that in the movie, it’s not just women who struggle with separating emotions from physical intimacy. Justin added that it may seem exciting in theory, but in reality, executing such a relationship could fall short and create more trouble than it’s worth.
Alan couldn’t resist mentioning some of the more intimate scenes in the film and jokingly asked about the catering on set. Mila shared that she ate everything off the craft service table, especially since she had just come from a role in which she had to maintain an extremely low weight. Justin chimed in, praising their co-star Woody Harrelson’s hilarious performance as a sports journalist in the movie.
The conversation then turned to the filming process, particularly the challenges of shooting on the streets of New York City. Mila and Justin shared anecdotes about the amusing encounters with surprised onlookers and their attempts to appear nonchalant and cool. Even a bus from a correctional facility couldn’t resist getting in on the fun.
Alan didn’t miss the opportunity to talk about Mila’s iconic role as the voice of Meg in “Family Guy.” Mila jokingly mentioned that her voice had changed over the years, and she couldn’t revert to her prettier voice from when she started the show at the age of 15. The playful banter continued as Alan poked fun at Justin’s famous “Dick in a Box” skit on “Saturday Night Live.”
With the award season in mind, Alan asked if there was any rivalry between Mila and Justin, considering their respective films, “The Social Network” and “Black Swan,” were both up for many awards. Both actors expressed camaraderie and a shared feeling of being fish out of water at the Oscars. They had already shot “Friends with Benefits” before the award ceremonies, so there was no rivalry between them.
In conclusion, Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake‘s appearance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man was filled with laughter, light-hearted banter, and a sneak peek into the comedic and relatable aspects of their new film, “Friends with Benefits.” Fans can catch the film in theaters from the 9th of September.
