Mila. Billie. Questions.

You know her from That 70s Show and movies like Black Swan, Friends with Benefits, and Bad Moms. His band is one of the biggest in the world - not to mention that it’s even God’s favorite band. Now here’s Mila Kunis and Billie Joe Armstrong... asking each other things. @ebpmpunk

Mila: What do you hope to be your lasting legacy?

Billie: To be the greatest band in the world. God’s favorite band, actually.

Mila: What is your go-to comfort food?

Billie: Fried chicken. Hands down.

Mila: Do you consider yourself more of an optimist or pessimist? Or a realist?

Billie: Realist. I think I have a good handle on never being too optimistic or pessimistic on things. Mainly because I know that it’s just not practical.

Mila: What Green Day song are you most proud of and why?

Billie: I’d have to say “Wake Me Up When September Ends”. It was the first time I ever wrote about how my father’s death affected me. I never truly realized how much it affected me until I wrote it. It was a groundbreaking moment for me.

Mila: If you had to pursue another profession, what would you do?

Billie: I’d be a brain surgeon.

Mila: What is the most important lesson you want to pass on to your kids?

Billie: The ability to listen. I want my kids to hear people’s stories and understand that everyone is going through something - big or small. And they can only understand that if they’re able to listen.

Mila: What was the last movie you saw in a movie theatre? What did you think about it?

Billie: The new Thor movie! It was fucking great - but then again, anything Marvel does is amazing.

Mila: Did you ever think Green Day would be as huge and iconic as it is?

Billie: Hell no. I still don’t even know how we got so lucky that a bunch of snobby kids from the East Bay got a chance. But damn I am grateful for everything that has been in our lives.

Mila: Assuming a heaven or paradise exists, what do you hope it is like?

Billie: I... have no idea? I just hope that there’s no negativity there. We have enough of it in the world we live in right now.

Mila: What do you do to feel better when it feels like the world is falling apart?

Billie: Talk to my girlfriend. Hands down.

Mila: [proceeds to melt from cheesy happiness for the next half hour.]

Billie: What is your favorite childhood memory?

Mila: Okay, it is kind of a weird one, but when I was little, I remember playing in our neighborhood with my brother. I totally idolized him. Anything he said, I believed. Well he wanted to climb trees, so I went along with it despite never having climbed a tree before then. I climbed up a little ways and then couldn’t get down. I was like six at the time! So I just jumped, and on the way down, I got a branch stuck in my calf. I ended up walking home with the branch just... hanging out of my life. My dad nearly passed out. It is such a weird memory, but it still makes me laugh.

Billie: What is one piece of work that you are most proud of?

Mila: I mean... Wyatt. She is my everything. The greatest thing I have ever done. But job-wise... I am really proud of Bad Moms, honestly because of the team we assembled and how we were able to put together this beautiful and hilarious story about real, flawed, amazing women. It really means a lot to me.

Billie: What’s one thing you hope to teach your kids?

Mila: To not be assholes. That is like... my number one goal in life. Work hard, don’t be a dick. They are being raised in a privileged life, but I don’t want them to ever think they are owed any of it, you know? Work hard and be a decent person. Life motto for anyone, really.

Billie: Your most embarrassing moment?

Mila: Ahhh... you know... it SHOULD have been when the UPS guy saw me topless a little while after Wyatt was born, but I just did not fucking care. Probably like the whole first season of That 70s Show. Going through puberty in front of all my costars. First kiss being in front of cameras. Just so much awkwardness.

Billie: What’s your favorite Green Day song?

Mila: Kind of impossible for me to not love “Ordinary World”, come on. Ha. That song is so special to me that it will never not be my favorite. But other than that... shit... As a piece of art, I truly think “Jesus of Suburbia” is a work of genius. Like brilliant. Truly. I also have a special love for “Hitchin’ a Ride”, but that is... for very different reasons.

Billie: If you could get a chance to work with someone in an upcoming movie, who would it be and why?

Mila: Hmmm... shit. I would love to work with... fuck, there are so many. Okay... I’ve got it. I want to work on a film directed by David Fincher with a script by Aaron Sorkin and I want to costar with Jessica Chastain. I have loved so so many of Fincher’s movies that I can’t actually think of any that I think like. I mean... come on. Seven? Gone Girl? The Social Network? The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Zodiac? He is amazing. And Sorkin can write a smart and funny script better than anyone out there. And Jessica is just a goddess. So strong and kind and talented.

Billie: Who is your role model?

Mila: My parents. Anyone who can leave a comfortable life behind to move across the world to a new country so that their kids can have a better life... anyone who goes from being engineers and teachers to driving taxis and working a small job at a pharmacy just for their kids... those are amazing people, and I will spend my whole life trying to thank them.

Billie: Would you ever want to raise your children in your home country?

Mila: Not a chance. I think of the US as my home now anyway. I would love for them to learn about the culture, of course, but I would never ever move back there.

Billie: What are seven things you’d put into a time capsule to open up 30 years from now?

Mila: A bottle of Jim Beam. A picture of me and Wyatt from Halloween when she made me be Elsa - blonde wig and all. A recording of you singing “Ordinary World” just for me. A picture of you and me. Our boy’s picture. And... fuck, I don’t know. It would probably just be a bunch of pictures and mementos from the year. Like my plane ticket from when I went to see you in London. Or the hoodie I stole from you and never told you about - except I would never give that up. Yeah. Pictures. Bourbon. A newspaper so hopefully in 30 years I can laugh about all this shit going on right now.

Billie: Is there anything in life you want to do but haven’t done yet? If so, what is it and why?

Mila: I haven’t spent the night in one of those igloo ice hotels with the northern lights above. It is just super high on my bucket list. I have done so many amazing and wonderful things that I don’t feel like I am missing out. I just want to make that trip happen. And maybe have a baby with you one day. Not necessarily at the same time. Just saying... hahaha
