Mila Kunis reveals Seth MacFarlane was searching for actors to be in Ted for so long that she was old enough to play Lori by the time it was settled. 😳
Mila Kunis reveals that she aged into her role in the comedy film Ted. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane made his live-action directorial debut with Ted in 2012, and the movie was a box office success that's remembered as a classic of its era. The comedy featured Mark Wahlberg in his hometown of Boston as John Bennet, a slacker with a living teddy bear named Ted as a best friend and bad influence.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Kunis has been a longtime collaborator with MacFarlane on Family Guy, having played Meg Griffin since 1999. Because much of the Ted cast was fleshed out by Family Guy regulars, including Patrick Warburton and Alex Borstein, one might think that Kunis was just another in-house selection, or was considered from the very start.
"He was casting it for a while before Wahlberg signed on, but even once Wahlberg signed on, he was casting other women. And he kept coming to me during recordings and being like 'who else?'. Because it took a while for a talking bear movie to get made. And I kept throwing out names like 'what about that person? She's a great actress'. And then all of the sudden I started getting older and older and older.
Why Kunis Was Able To Play Wahlberg's Love Interest Kunis was 27 years old when she was cast in Ted and played opposite a then 39-year-old Mark Wahlberg. As Kunis says, she had only aged about one year from the time she was pushing for other actors to play Lori to actually getting the part. One year passing is a short amount of time for non-actors, but Kunis notes that Hollywood's perception of an actor's age is warped.
The female love interests of male actors, as in the case of Ted, are commonly a decade younger than their counterparts, which is hardly a reflection of reality. Female actors have come forward about facing decreased opportunity as they age despite accumulating more experience, and this casting tendency is a factor in that transgression.
