In 2017, Jimmy Kimmel invited Shaquille OāNeal to step in for him, and Shaq readily accepted the offer, showcasing his vibrant on-screen presence. Unlike many NBA players, Shaq has honed his skills over the years, appearing in numerous movies and TV shows, demonstrating his comfort in the spotlight. During his guest-hosting stint, Shaqās first guest of the night was the stunning and undeniably charming Mila Kunis.
The actress joined the show for a candid chat with Shaq, immediately noticing his Hall of Fame ring. She jokingly suggested he take it off and store it in a safety deposit box.
You canāt wear that. Thatās not ok. Thatās huge.
OāNeal tried to lighten the mood by expressing his deep respect and admiration for the Dodgers as an exceptional team. However, Kunis remained unconvinced.
I donāt respect the Yankees. I donāt respect anything about them.
Despite OāNealās continued attempts to reason with Kunis, she remained steadfast in her stance. As the interview progressed, it became evident that Kunis was still displeased with OāNeal being a Yankees fan. She even jokingly hinted at the absurdity of needing to ācancelā him. Both Kunis and her husband Ashton Kutcher are known to be Dodgers fans.
Concerning Shaq and his ring, Kunis genuinely felt anxious. Throughout his NBA career, he secured four of them, but the one symbolizing his status among the gameās all-time greats must be the most unforgettable. According to OāNeal, the ring is reserved for exceptional occasions, a sentiment that Kunis agreed with. The conversation provided amusement for the two friends, while also showcasing Kunisā admiration for OāNealās accomplishments. She couldnāt help but be awestruck by his Hall of Fame ring.
Shaq recalls prank with Mila Kunisā husband Ashton Kutcher
Shaquille OāNeal found himself on the receiving end of Ashton Kutcherās pranks on the MTV show āPunkād.ā OāNeal reminisced about the incident with his close friend and Kutcherās wife, Mila Kunis.
In 2017, OāNeal appeared as a guest on āJimmy Kimmel Live!ā with Kunis as his guest. The Hall of Fame basketball star recounted the tale of how Kutcher pulled a prank on him, provoking anger. However, upon recalling his relationship with Kunis, he decided to let Kutcher off the hook without any repercussions.
Shaquille OāNeal fell prey to one of Ashton Kutcherās pranks back in 2005. OāNeal, accompanied by his then-wife, Shaunie Henderson, headed to a restaurant for a date, only to find his tires deflated by Kutcher and his crew. This incident escalated into a confrontation between the LA Lakers legend and a member of the āPunkādā crew. However, upon realizing that he had been punked by Kutcher, OāNeal responded with humor, giving Kutcher a playful bear hug on the hood of a red car. Despite the prank, the four-time NBA champion showed good sportsmanship by shaking Kutcherās hand.
