'I didn't like Friends with Benefits at first'

Mila Kunis has admitted that she did not like her new movie Friends with Benefits when she first read the script.

The Black Swan star revealed that her recent sex comedy, which also stars Justin Timberlake, had to be extensively reworked in order to prevent it from feeling "dated".

"When I got the script, it was very dated, but I knew it made for a funny movie so I took a meeting with [director] Will Gluck," she told Stylist. "Will, Justin and myself went out to dinner and that's when we realised we wanted the same thing for the movie.

"We were able to workshop it, rewrite the script and tailor the characters to what we feel our generation is like now."

Kunis was also not entirely satisfied with the prospect of undressing for the film's numerous intimate scenes.

"I didn't have any problem with Justin taking his clothes off," she jested with The Daily Telegraph. "But I'm incredibly insecure about my figure in my private life, let alone in front of 50 crew members. There was a lot of insecurity.

"There were awkward moments, but the great thing was that Justin and I were friends, so at least I was with someone I knew who was also uncomfortable."

Kunis has said that she finds her sex symbol status to be "fantastic".
