Not every actress can say that they got the role in an Oscar tipped film by using skype can they? But Mila Kunis can because that's how she landed the role of Lily in the ballet thriller Black Swan.

Talking to the Sun about how she got the part of Lily, who ends up in a passionate tryst with Natalie Portman's Nina, Mila revealed that she didn't have to give a formal audititon.

Instead, Mila had a handful of video meetings with director Darren Aronofsky, over skype.

She said: "It was the first movie I didn't have to audition for. I was absolutely shocked. But I never questioned Darren about why he cast me. I didn't want him second-guessing it."

Darren, who had been working on the movie for ten years admitted that as soon as he saw Mila, he knew she was the one for the role.

He said: "I just thought, Who is that girl? So charming and beautiful and sexy and smart and clever. There was so much going on."

Lucky her!
