Black Swan actress Mila Kunis does not think its fair to call a ballerina fat. Kunis, who plays a ballerina on the Darren Aronofsky film, is speaking against Alastair Macaulay's review of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker.

"It's one of those things where it's unfortunate to pinpoint weight. I don't think it's fair. I'm pretty sure that the person they're talking looked very normal. It's just that there's an abnormal look to a ballerina," Mila tells Steven Kurutz of The Wall Street Journal.

"[Ballerinas] work seven days a week. They don't have off seasons. They train every day, whether it's for a show or just to do barre for a couple of hours a day. They're almost OCD. The way that they carry themselves. The way that they put their toe shoes on. The way that they train themselves. It's very obsessive compulsive."

Kunis and her co-star Natalie Portman play rival ballet dancers in Black Swan. To prepare for the role, Mila underwent a training regimen that included cardiovascular exercise, a 1200-calorie a day diet, and ballet classes for four hours a day, seven days a week. She lost 20 pounds for the role which brought down her weight to 95 pounds during filming.

New York Times' dance critic Macaulay wrote in his review that Jennifer Ringer, who plays the Sugar Plum Fairy in the production, was overweight for the role. In Macaulay's words, Ringer "looked as if she'd eaten one sugarplum too many." This has generated buzz on the Internet focusing on Macaulay's stress on the weight of the ballerina.

Ringer did not comment on the matter, even until after Macaulay wrote a second piece defending his choice of words. But earlier this week, the ballerina took to Today show where she denied being overweight although she did admit having a "more womanly body type than the stereotypical ballerina."
