LUST IN TRANSLATION: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND MILA KUNIS
On screen, Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are friends with benefits. Off screen, they’re available and up for playing our dating game. Get a sneak peek at our August cover story here, and to read the complete interview and see all the photos, pick up the August issue of ELLE!
ELLE: “Friends with benefits”: a good idea or a bad idea?
Justin Timberlake: [Smiles] It is such a good idea—until it’s a bad idea.
Mila Kunis: I concur. Ultimately, it ends when someone wants to go and get serious with somebody. More times than not, a person catches feelings and somebody gets hurt.
ELLE: I think any time someone is rubbing up against your nether regions, you’re going to develop an emotional attachment.
MK: Yeah, when a female orgasms, a hormone gets released. I’ve never met a girl who can have sex without an ounce of feeling.
JT: Aha! Is that just a woman convincing herself so she feels like it’s okay to have sex with someone?
MK: Fifty-fifty. JT: So it’s the same thing as with guys! Women are just lying to themselves.
ELLE: Playing friends with benefits, what was your costar most self-conscious about while shooting the nude scenes?
MK: [To Justin]You’ve got a fine ass. I was self-conscious about a lot of things. Show me one girl who isn’t.
JT: I’ll be honest and say, like, I’m still trying to get into the editing room and cut down on my ass time. I’m like, “Oh my God, my mom’s gonna see that!”
ELLE: As in the film, have either of your parents ever walked in on you while you were in flagrante delicto?
JT: I was caught one time. My mom wasn’t cool about it. I was too young to be in bed with a girl, so she was upset.
MK: I don’t think my parents think I’ve ever had sex.
ELLE: Most annoying thing your costar did on set?
JT: She would serenade me, all of us, in the makeup trailer—
MK: I can’t sing.
JT: Couldn’t carry a tune if I put it in a bucket for her. It’s awesome, though, because she does not give a ****.
ELLE: Let’s talk about how amazing your costar Woody Harrelson is playing a gay magazine photo editor.
JT: He gets the most gut-busting laughs. Everybody wants to know: “Did you smoke pot with Woody?” We did! Will [Gluck] and I put that basketball scene in the movie just because we both love White Men Can’t Jump.
ELLE: In this film, there’s a five-date rule before you sleep with someone. What if you’re so attracted to a person that you want to end the first date in bed?
JT: Ooh, I would probably steer away from it. As a matter of fact, I definitely would steer away from it.
ELLE: Earth to Justin… Perfect first date?
JT: Something more simple than extravagant. Scrabble.
MK: Monopoly.
JT: Scrabble’s a good date. If she can’t spell, I don’t want to hang out with her. So that’s a good test.
MK: I can’t spell at all. [To Justin] Now we’ll never be friends.
ELLE: Strangest question a date ever asked you?
JT: I had a date ask me one time if I had found God. I’m a sick human being—I mean, I answered, “Yeah, he’s in my pants.” So, the date didn’t go that much longer because—
MK: She didn’t kneel at your altar?
JT: [Ignoring Mila] My date thought that was crass, and I thought that asking me about God was crass, so…
ELLE: Mila, who is your older-man crush?
MK: George Clooney and Johnny Depp.
ELLE: In romance, are you ruled by your head or heart?
MK: My heart. I’m trying to lead with my head. I am. I’m trying! I’m failing.
JT: She’s lying. Don’t ever change, kiddo. I’m a pushover too. I’m not really all that smart, so I don’t really have anything to lead with except my heart.
ELLE: Now that you’re both single, do you find it hard to date? Must be tough being in the public eye.
MK: I haven’t dated ever.
JT: I’m not equipped to answer that right now.
BEHIND THE COVER: MILA KUNIS & JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE
ELLE is taking on L-O-V-E this month, casting on-screen Friends With Benefits Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in a portfolio inspired by a sexy, seemingly candid 1963 LIFE magazine photo essay featuring Hollywood legend Steve McQueen and his then wife, actress Neile Adams, at their Palm Springs bungalow. On an April morning in Los Angeles, Kunis, whose turn in last year’s Black Swan earned her a Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actress, and her Grammy-winning costar arrived separately on set—a midcentury home in the Hollywood Hills boasting panoramic views of the sprawling valley and mountainous landscape. With Arcade Fire on the iPod, Kunis and Timberlake surrendered their Starbucks, slipped into wardrobe, and got busy playing house. Photographer Carter Smith captured Kunis wearing Tom Ford, Gucci, and Ralph Lauren Black Label and Timberlake sporting Lanvin and Jil Sander in photos that ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee called “cinematic and cool.” A brave Kunis effortlessly stirred marinara sauce in a silk tulle Chanel dress and then cozied up with Timberlake, who sipped coffee in a Viktor & Rolf suit. Later, Timberlake, always the dashing showman, serenaded Kunis while she lounged in a muslin Chanel jumpsuit. When it was time to break for lunch, L.A.’s M Café provided the spread—sushi rolls, salmon wraps, soba noodles—and Timberlake entertained, bewitching the crew with his Saturday Night Live–worthy impersonations. Come July 22, this Ukrainian-born actress and southern Renaissance man will be giving “friends with benefits” a whole new meaning.
JT: I had a date ask me one time if I had found God. I’m a sick human being—I mean, I answered, “Yeah, he’s in my pants.” So, the date didn’t go that much longer because—
MK: She didn’t kneel at your altar?
I'm probably not gonna watch this movie when it comes out, unless my friends invite me to.
