Ashton is great on social media ... but I find it an ugly place, reveals Mila

-

MILA Kunis is one of the rare celebritie­s without social media – and the wife of Ashton Kutcher has revealed the reason behind her lack of internet presence.

The That ’70s Show star joked about how she was ‘so late to that train’ and said she admires the way husband Ashton, pictured with Mila, is ‘incredibly forward-thinking with social media’.

She said: ‘I remember at some point my roommate was like, “You know, there’s a thing called Facebook”, and I was like, “What is this Facebook? Who’s gonna poke each other? That’s just weird.”

‘And then Ashton and I reconnecte­d and started talking. He used to be incredibly forward-thinking with social media, when the intent was to connect to people.’

Referring to how things on the web have changed, she continued: ‘It took an ugly turn and became all about who can be the loudest, who can be the angriest and the most negative.

‘Then it’s just not a fun game to play.’

The 34-year-old brunette also addressed her feelings about rumours, telling Cosmopolit­an magazine she doesn’t read what’s written about her.

While the Black Swan actress was able to laugh off the untruths, she did explain how ‘upsetting’ it can be when gossip about divorce, pregnancy and other serious matters ‘confuses’ her family. The star told Cosmopolit­an: ‘I genuinely don’t know what’s written about me... other than I know that I’m pregnant about once a year and my husband and I are getting a divorce once a year.’ Revealing how she gleans her knowledge during trips to the shops, she said: ‘I know this because I go down the grocery store aisle, and I see it on the cover of magazines and I’m like, “Oh boy, OK!”’ ‘The only thing that’s upsetting is my parents and my grandparen­ts sometimes get confuse,’ she added. ‘Although my dad is always very hopeful that the pregnancie­s are true. He’s always like, “Is there really another?”’

The August issue of Cosmopolit­an, pictured inset, hits newsstands on Tuesday of next week.
