Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis starred as the lead actors in the 2011 film, Friends With Benefits.

During their promotional appearances, they displayed their great rapport.

The movie explored the story of two emotionally unstable young professionals who begin a casual, s*x-only relationship.

Despite the film’s success, it wasn’t always perfect behind the scenes.

Initially, Kunis wasn’t fond of the script and acknowledged that it needed extensive work to improve.

During the filming of the movie, Kunis requested a body double for a scene that would be public.

She claimed that a separate audition was set up to match her backside.

The makers were looking for a double that resembled her backside the most without appearing fake.

Although not all intimate scenes required body doubles for the Black Swan actress, she was still shy about certain scenes.

She joked that she couldn’t give away everything at once and had to let it out in little pieces here and there.

On the other hand, Justin Timberlake wasn’t bothered by the revealing scenes.

The actor-singer claimed that he only accepted to perform those explicit scenes because he was young and he didn’t mind doing it.

“I only did it because I’m young now, and everything’s where it’s supposed to be.”

“I figured this is the time, before gravity gets the best of me.”

Despite the minor hiccup on set, Kunis enjoyed her time filming Friends With Benefits.

At first, she didn’t like the script as she thought it was outdated.

However, she knew it would still make for a fun movie, so she set up a meeting with Will Gluck.

Eventually, after their discussion, Gluck, Timberlake, and Kunis discovered they all “wanted the same thing for the movie.”

The rom-com received favorable reviews and made a sizable profit.

Despite having a $35 million budget, the film made $149.5 million.

In an interview, Kunis revealed that the script initially presented her with a challenge.

She said, “The script was very tricky because it was very contemporary and very modern, but it was written by two guys that are a little bit older.”

“So, it was trying to find that balance between the two.”

But with the help of Gluck, the director, she and Timberlake found their groove, and the movie was a hit.

Kunis received praise for her on-screen chemistry with Timberlake.

The portrayal of the relationship between the two lead actors was central to the movie’s success.

The two actors’ display of their friendship and comfort with each other helped to bring the characters to life.

They were able to successfully portray the complexities of casual relationships, which struck a chord with audiences.

In an interview with The Telegraph, Kunis revealed that she and Timberlake were friends before they began filming Friends With Benefits.

She said, “We met when we were 21, 22, and we were friends from the beginning.

“It was such an easy camaraderie; we just clicked.”

The actors’ friendship and ease with each other translated well on screen, and their chemistry was undeniable.

They made the movie feel authentic, which resulted in a relatable and enjoyable film for audiences.

In an interview with The Daily Mail, Timberlake admitted that filming intimate scenes can be awkward.

He said, “It’s never going to be a normal thing to do, to be in front of people and be intimate with someone that you’re not intimately involved with.”

Regardless, both Kunis and Timberlake delivered memorable performances in the movie.

Their ability to make the audience believe in the characters’ relationship helped to make the movie successful.
