But for some celebrities, the war is striking a very personal chord.
But fundraising is only a small part of Kunis’s connection to the crisis.
“It was the weirdest feeling.”
And now she’s teaching her children about their heritage, too.
she tells Maria Shriver in a"Conversation Above the Noise"interview, viaTooFab.
“Like, I literally was like, ‘Look, you!’
And my kids were like, ‘Yeah, Mom, I get it.’
And I was like, ‘No!
You are Ukrainian and American.’
I was like, ‘You are half Iowa, half Ukraine.’
And they’re like, ‘Okay, I get it.'”
Kunis also admits to having taken a lackadaisical attitude toward her birthplace until now.
“[I]t’s been irrelevant to me that I come from Ukraine.
It never mattered,” she tells Shriver.
“So much so that I’ve always said I’m Russian, right?”
“Well, hell no, I am from Ukraine.
Everything’s changed!”
