Alan Carr asked Mila Kunis 'have I pushed wrong button' after awkward reaction to his question about sex
Alan Carr seemed to put his foot in his mouth after he asked Mila Kunis an awkward sex question about one of her movies.
The Black Swan and That '70s Show star has previously weighed in on how she feels about being objectified in the film industry, eventually coming to the fore in an open letter released to the public in 2016.
In the letter, she spoke up for gender equality in Hollywood and said that a producer told her that her career would take a 'nose-dive' if she didn't undress for promotional material for an upcoming film at the time.

But as we know now, they were wrong, as Kunis has gone on to have an outstanding career in TV and film.
Back in 2011, while promoting her romcom Friends with Benefits opposite pop star Justin Timberlake, the pair appeared on talk show Alan Carr: Chatty Man.
The actress had previously admitted that she was not a fan of stripping in her films, refusing wholeheartedly to do nude scenes, to the point where they hired a butt double for the 2011 flick.
This hasn't stopped Kunis from being part of a few steamy scenes in her time though, sharing a passionate moment with the likes of Natalie Portman and Zoe Saldana previously in her career.
“I showed side-boob, and I figured I can’t just give away everything all at once. I gotta let it all out in little pieces here and there,” she said on Ryan Seacrest's radio show at the time.
On the talk show though, Alan Carr cheekily stated: "In the film, it's interesting because women can't handle the sex bit, can they? Because they get emotionally involved."
Timberlake lets out a nervous 'uh oh', as Kunis clearly looks p***ed off with the question and the 'SexyBack' singer says 'you don't know what you just did to this one'.
As Carr begins to get worried and Timberlake says 'somebody's in trouble', while pointing out her scrunched up angry face, the host asked: "What have I said? Have I pushed the wrong buttons?"
She explained: "Well, I just want to point out in this film, both characters get emotionally attached, but the man sticks his foot in his mouth and says the wrong thing, and the woman is just more vocal about it.
"That's what I think, I think both characters do, not just the female."
Timberlake then eased some of the tension by joking and saying that he disagrees completely, which garners some laughs from the crowd, adding: "I think the woman goes particularly insane, and the male just has to put up with it."
The laughs that follow swiftly move the conversation along, when Carr asks the pair if they think the film's premise, where two friends can have sex with no repercussions, can be replicated in real-life.
Unsurprisingly, they both agreed viewers shouldn't try that one at home.
