Offering up her undeniable sex appeal, Mila Kunis dazzles as the cover girl for the March 2011 issue of W magazine.

With the installment hitting newsstands on February 25, the lovely actress posed for a sensual spread while chatting about topics ranging from her dance preparation for "Black Swan" and her early days in  show business.

Highlights from Mila's interview are as follows:

On one of her first roles: "I was on Baywatch twice. The second time, I played a blind girl who's lost in the forest next to the beach and needs to be saved. It was absurd: There's a fire, I get saved, and then I go boogie-boarding. I remember thinking, Well, if I'm blind, how am I boogie-boarding? No one ever gave me an answer."

On her dance training for the film: "I had never danced in my life. I trained for four months, seven days a week, five hours a day. I had one day off on my birthday. I lost 20 pounds. I tore a ligament. I dislocated my shoulder. I have two scars on my back. And it was worth every minute. But I will never dance again... I was like, Well—I wear heels; I can do this. I was wrong: Christian Louboutins are uncomfortable, but I screamed the first time I put on a pointe shoe."

On watching herself in Black Swan: "Before I started, I couldn't even lift my arm properly. I literally had no posture, so, yeah, the first time I saw the movie, my jaw dropped. I was like, Oh, my God—I don't suck. And it's great that the performance has been captured on film, because I will never put on those pointe shoes again."

In addition to her new spread in W magazine, Mila Kunis also recently covered the LA Times' February issue. Highlights of the conversation are below:

On working in comedy: "I love doing comedies. They're just as hard, if not harder, to make work, compared with a drama. You work 17 hours a day, and you have to try to make things different and funny and relatable onscreen all at the same time."

Friends with Benefits director Will Gluck on Mila: "She's very smart about her movies. Her notes were very un-actorlike: Will this emotion work here; will this reaction work there—not typical minuscule notes about a line or something."

On not having any projects lined up right now: "I know people say this all the time, but it's true: I don't ever want to work for the sake of working. I was very lucky to have a show for eight years. Now I can sit back and think about what I want."
