To play a professional ballerina in the Oscar-winning “Black Swan,” Mila Kunis lost a lot of weight, a transformation she hopes she will not have to repeat again for another movie role. Her body has never been the same ever since.

As we also informed you at the time, Mila lost the weight by working out excessively and basically cutting down on as many calories as possible.

After shooting for “Black Swan” wrapped, she became a binge eater, trying to compensate for the months when she basically starved herself.

She now tells Harper's Bazaar that her body has never been the same ever since she put it through the drastic diet.

“[My body] has never been the same. My shape is different,” the actress tells the magazine in a lengthy interview for the latest print issue.

“When I got down to 95 pounds [43 kg], I was muscles, like a little brick house, but skin and bones. When I gained it back, it went to completely different areas,” she explains.

“I’d be happy if my [backside] got bigger. All the weight that left my chest went to my side hip, my stomach,” Mila adds.

Because of this experience, Mila is wary to do a repeat. Then again, if a role she really wants depends entirely on her losing weight over a very short period of time, she'll probably do it.

“I’m not going to say I’d look forward to it, but if an offer came along, I’d do it,” the actress muses.

In the same interview, Mila, considered one of the most talented and beautiful stars of her generation, also talks a bit about how stereotypes apply to her.

She may be gorgeous, but that doesn't mean she's a complete airhead, she says.

“People have interpretations of what you’re supposed to be like. If you’re unattractive and overweight, you must have a great personality. If you’re attractive, then you must not be the nicest person,” Mila explains.

“People are always taken aback that I’m easygoing but not necessarily stupid,” she adds.
