    Mila Kunis Teases ‘That ’90s Show’ Cameo With Ashton Kutcher

    Jackie and Kelso are back together again.

Are you ready to head back to Point Place, Wisconsin? Because Jackie Burkhart certainly is. In a new episode of the podcast Skip IntroLuckiest Girl Alive star Mila Kunis reminisced about her time on That ’70s Show, and teased the clip she filmed for the upcoming reboot, That ’90s Show.

“It was so weird because the stage is the same,” Kunis tells host Krista Smith. “The area that the show takes place in, the basement, the kitchen, Debra Jo [Rupp], Kurtwood Smith — that's all the same. They updated it to make it look like ’90s Wisconsin, which is more like ’80s America, which is wonderful.”

The biggest reveal? Kunis divulged that Jackie is married — but not to who you think. Instead of ending up with Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), it turns out her character gets hitched to former paramour Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher). “I thought I ended up with Fez, and I’m all of a sudden with my super-duper ex over there.”

Of course, Kunis and Kutcher did end up together in real life, although she vehemently stresses that it wasn’t love at first sight. “We've been together 10 years and I still think this is crazy,” she says. “The crazy part is anyone that says, ‘Oh, I knew back then, the two of them the way they were.’ They are liars. Nobody knew. We didn't know.”

Set in 1995, That ’90s Show follows Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), daughter of Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) as she bonds with a new generation of Point Place kids while visiting grandparents Kitty (Rupp) and Red (Smith) for the summer. Kunis and Kutcher both make cameo appearances (apparently as Mr. and Mrs. Kelso).

Apart from waxing nostalgic about the upcoming reboot, Kunis also discussed her upcoming film Luckiest Girl Alive, which she produced and stars in. Based on Jessica Knoll’s 2015 novel of the same name, the film centers on New Yorker Ani FaNelli (Kunis), whose sleek, cool-girl veneer starts to shatter when she’s approached to film a documentary about a shocking incident that took place at her prestigious high school. Confronted with her past, Ani is finally forced to make peace with the teenage self she vowed to leave behind.

“I thought the voice was different and exciting,” Kunis says of the film, which explores the ways in which we curate ourselves to fit a certain desired image. The glossy face that Ani presents to the outside world — successful magazine editor, an engagement ring the size of Mars, gorgeous Nantucket wedding plans — is very different from her inner monologue, which holds nothing back. “I think that even if you never had trauma, most people can relate to the idea of projecting outward what it is you want people to believe you are versus who it is that you really are,” Kunis says.

That disconnect between public and private personas is what initially drew Kunis to the story, and also what she hopes audiences will walk away talking about when Luckiest Girl Alive premieres on Netflix on Oct. 7. Reflecting on her recent trip to New York for the film’s premiere, she adds, “You go on the street and everybody looks the way that they want to project themselves to be. You don't know who anybody is.”
