Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman did not, despite the rumors, drink tequila to loosen up for their sex scene in Black Swan. Kunis says the rumor is “false.”

“There was no tequila!” She exclaimed when People caught up to her during an event held last week. “I don’t think we could have done that scene if we were intoxicated.”

Doing the scene was difficult for the actresses, who are friends off-camera. Mila Kunis says that sex scenes are “never comfortable, same sex, opposite sex, it’s never comfortable.”

Kunis began preparing for her role in Black Swan a year ahead of time, undergoing rigorous ballet training. She lost twenty pounds, which made her look “like Gollum from Lord of the Rings!” But it’s unlikely the male viewers who see her in the film will find cause for complaint.
