Mila Kunis ‘Couldn’t Stop Crying’ on the Last Day of ‘That ’70s Show’
Mila Kunis can still remember how she felt bidding goodbye to That ’70s Show after eight seasons after it finished more than 15 years ago. The 38-year-old actress spoke on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday and discussed her bittersweet feelings in 2006.
DeGeneres, whose daytime talk show ends after 19 seasons this week, wasted no time asking Kunis if she remembered how she felt when the show finished. “It sucked,” Kunis admitted. “To be honest, it’s bittersweet.”
“You get to a point where you’re like, ‘It’s time,'” she continued. “But on that particular day, I couldn’t stop crying. I returned to being a small child; all I needed was someone to hold me.”
Kunis was 14 years old when she began filming the show on which she met her future husband, Ashton Kutcher. However, it wasn’t until years after the show finished that they began dating and eventually married. The Bad Moms star went on to tell DeGeneres how much of her life was influenced by That ’70s Show.
“I went through puberty, high school, and everything,” Kunis explained.
While the original show hasn’t been filmed in 16 years, Kunis, Kutcher, and their co-stars Topher Grace (Eric), Laura Prepon (Donna), Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), Kurtwood Smith (Red) and Debra Jo Rupp (Kitty) are all set to revisit their characters in Netflix’s upcoming That ’90s Show, which will follow a similar story as the original. Still, this time took place in 1995, with the main focus being Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric and Donna.
Tommy Chong, who played Leo on the sitcom, is another familiar figure returning.
“They gave me a call, and I performed my part,” Chong revealed on The Dark Mark Show podcast earlier this week. “They never gave me instructions, so I’m not sure if I’m supposed to talk about it. To tell you the truth, I don’t give a sh*t. I have a large mouth. That’s what I’m famous for… “I’ve returned as Leo.”
