Kunis, who has been married to actor Ashton Kutcher for nearly 10 years, was born in Ukraine, and she immigrated to Los Angeles when she was just eight years old. Now, in a new interview with Tishby, Kunis gave more insight into her upbringing and why she was taught to hide her Judaism, as she explained that she grew up without celebrating the religious holidays.

'I always knew I was Jewish, but I was told to never talk about it,' Kunis confessed. When Tishby asked her why that was, Kunis explained that she believes it was because she was 'in a country that didn't allow for religion.'. 'I was raised culturally Jewish, so for me, it's a culture, and as I had kids, and my kids very much identify with the religion aspect of it,' the Family Guy actress explained.
