Black Swan: I've Never Seen An Actor As Disciplined As A Ballerina, Says Mila Kunis


Mila Kunis said at the London Film Festival on October 22 that while filming her latest movie 'Black Swan' she found that dancers are far more disciplined than actors.

The movie is a dark thriller set in a ballet company.

Asked at a London Film Festival press conference whether actors and dancers are different breeds, Kunis replied, "Yes and no. I think that both are incredibly competitive in a certain way.

"I think that dancers have this perception of perfection that I don't necessarily think actors do. I think actors constantly think that for every part there's something different they can do – there's no such thing as perfect, versus a dancer, who I think truly end their career trying to achieve something that's impossible.

"I think they're both incredibly disciplined, although I've never met anybody as disciplined as a dancer. Ever. Nobody in this industry, nobody outside of this industry, as much as a ballerina. Truly, I think I've seen actors call in sick. I've never seen a ballerina call in sick and I think that's a testament to their work ethic and their discipline.

"I would say that they're similar but there's a strong difference. It's incredibly competitive, the ballet world. Much more so than any other world I've ever been able to experience."
