Mila KunisMila Kunis would not do well in a post-apocalyptic world. For one thing, because she’s not a fan of dirt.

The star of ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and television’s ‘That 70’s Show’ was so glad to be done with her filthy costume from the action drama ‘The Book of Eli,’ she burned it.

Kunis told the World Entertainment News Network that she hated having to don the same dirty clothes every day on the set of the upcoming film, which also stars Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman. And so she gave the experience a ceremonial sendoff when it was over.

She said, “I kept none of my ensemble from the film. It was so dirty and filthy. In fact I burned it in effigy when we wrapped production.”

‘The Book of Eli’ is directed by Allen and Albert Hughes (‘American Pimp,’ ‘From Hell’) and revolves around a lone warrior, Eli (Washington), who guards a book of knowledge that could redeem society. Oldman portrays the despot of a small makeshift town who is determined to take possession of the book.

Kunis also explained where her strengths and weaknesses lie and how she might fare were she to survive the apocalypse.

“In a post-apocalyptic world I would need toilet paper, so as not use leaves for the rest of my life. I wouldn’t know what to eat. I would eat that snake with the yellow tail because I wouldn’t know it’s poisonous. But I could kick some serious a**, especially in five-inch heels. It’s amazing what I could do. I could throw a really strong right hook. I learned that from my Max Payne (movie) training. And I could shoot really well. And I could run really fast, so if anything happened, I’d run.”

‘The Book of Eli’ is set for release January 15, 2010
