Ok she became US citizen, but she can’t be AMERICAN! Why? because her mother is RUSSIAN and her father is SERBIAN, so…SHE’S RUSSIAN-SERBIAN NOT AMERICAN, HER ROOTS ARE NOT AMERICAN!!!!
IF YOUR PARENTS ARE AMERICAN AND YOU LIVEN IN RUSSIA, YOU CAN’T BE RUSSIAN, YOU CAN TAKE RUSSIAN PASSPORT, BUT YOU CAN’T BE RUSSIAN, THE SAME THING!
Hello? She’s Serbian-Russian!!! Familiar with that term??? Do you know what you’re writing here at all??? It’s the same with Rita Ora! You wrote she’s from Kosovo!!! Nuh, she’s from Serbia cuz KOSOVO IS SERBIA!!!
And here Mila is HALF SERBIAN HALF RUSSIAN AND NOT AMERICAN!!!
Ya got it?
You are confusing Nationality with Ethnicity. A person can change their nationality, which Mila did when she became an US citizen. Her ethnicity is more like Serbian / Ukrainian ancestry, but she can legally claim American nationality now.
And yes, she is AWESOME!
She said that she was 170 lb in 2015 and 4 years later, no proof that it changed so her weight should probs be changed to 77 kg
Well pretty Milla has 3 inches and a whole bunch of weight on me! 37 pounds! They could have used me in her movies! Milla could very easily pick me up and throw me clear across the room!
