he received recognition for his acting in King Richard. Although almost everyone
from the audience got up and gave the actor a standing ovation, some actors
didn’t. Mila Kunis gives an astonishing reason for not supporting the ovation.
She and her husband, Ashton Kutcher, stayed put because they didn’t want to set
this kind of example for their children.

She explained further and said one day, their children would see the reactions
of the parents to this unfortunate incident. Assaulting someone is an offensive
act and to support that by applauding the next minute wouldn’t set the right
example. “The idea of leading by example only makes sense when you actually have
someone to lead,” said

Mila.

It also shocked her to see the number of actors present there who stood up and
applauded. She expressed her wonder and said, “Not standing up to me was a
no-brainer, but what was shocking to me was how many people did stand up.” She
further exclaimed and opened up about how as a society people live. Looking at
the reaction

like this to Smith’s win, she believed we live in a world where looking good is
more important rather than standing up for the right.
