- Missed her senior prom because of a scheduling conflict.
- Auditioned for "That '70s Show" (1998) at age 14. Though actors had to be at least 18 to get the part, she truthfully claimed she would be 18 on her birthday, not specifying which birthday, and won the role.
- Terrified of "bugs" so much that during her May 2004 appearance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" (1993), she ran offstage when the Bug Man appeared after her interview.
- She and Laura Prepon were often filmed sitting down for their scenes on "That '70s Show" (1998) because Laura is seven inches taller than Mila. In other scenes, Mila wears platform shoes to give her four extra inches.
- At age 9, Mila started to take after-school acting classes at the Beverly Hills Studio. At one of the Studio's public showcases, Mila was approached by entertainment manager Susan Curtis, who offered to make her a client.
- Has two different eye colors: one blue, one green. Laura Prepon, her co-star on "That '70s Show" (1998), called her a Husky (a canine breed that often has two different colored eyes) because of this. It's called Heterochromia.

- Was invited via YouTube on July 7, 2011 to a United States Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina by Sgt. Scott Moore. At the time of the internet invite, Moore was stationed in Musa Qala, Afghanistan with the 3rd Battalion 2nd Marines. Kunis' Friends with Benefits (2011) co-star Justin Timberlake came into contact with Sgt. Moore after seeing his video and then contacted Kunis about the invite. Kunis accepted the invite on July 12, 2011.
