Mila Kunis Shares Why She, Husband Ashton Kutcher Accepted Cheetos Super Bowl Commercial

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have reunited on the small screen for a Super Bowl commercial and the actress explained the story behind it.

Kunis and Kutcher will be featured in the upcoming Cheetos Super Bowl commercial on Feb. 7. Two teasers were released in the last couple of weeks and the "Black Swan" star admitted it was an opportunity that she and her husband couldn't miss.

"It's so silly! Ashton and I, we never work together. I mean, I know we worked together before…And in the midst of quarantine, they sent us this ad to do and every time I've ever been offered a Super Bowl ad it's always a female having to be scantily clad," she told Entertainment Tonight.

"And this one comes around, I started laughing so hard and Ashton was like, 'This is kind of funny.' And I was like, 'We should do it!'"

Aside from the comical element of the commercial, the celebrity mom admitted that they wanted to be away from their kids for a while because they were around them in the past months due to the lockdown. The couple share two kids, 6-year-old daughter Wyatt and 4-year-old son Dimitri.

"Also it was quarantine and we were stuck with our children for nine, 12, months at this moment, and I was like, 'Two days, baby! Two days off.' Literally we were like, 'Yeah, OK, let's do it.' And so we did it," she explained while laughing before adding, "And I hate saying it but we were like, 'Freedom!'…It was amazing!"

Kunis made it clear that she loves their kids so much but has never been excited about waking up at five in the morning to go to work for long. When she skipped out of the house, her kids felt like she was abandoning them and she comforted herself to relax. In reality, it was also difficult for her because their family is co-dependent.

"Our whole family is already co-dependent, so this pandemic just feeds into our entire co-dependency," Kunis continued. "And my husband and I were super co-dependent for like eight years and in this pandemic our kids are like, 'Where are you going?' And I was like, 'The bathroom.' We haven't left each other. We're in the house. Yeah, it was really weird for them. They forgot that we have to go out of the house."

Kunis and Kutcher met in 1998 as cast members of "That '70s Show." However, it took a decade before their romance started. They reconnected in 2012 after he and Demi Moore announced their divorce and following Kunis' split from Macaulay Culkin. They got engaged in February 2014 and married in July 2015.
