The event was closed to media. Moore invited Kunis to the soiree in a YouTube video posted in July, from a base in Afghanistan. "Hey, Mila. It's Sergeant Moore, but you can call me Scott," he said in the video. "I just wanted to take a moment out of my day to invite you to the Marine Corps Ball on November 18 in Greenville, North Carolina, with yours truly. So take a second, think about it and get back to me." A message left with Kunis's publicist in New York was not returned yesterday. Their date took place less than a week after Kunis' "Friends with Benefits" co-star, Justin Timberlake, escorted a Marine Corps combat instructor to a ball in Richmond, Virginia. Timberlake, who publicly encouraged Kunis to accept Moore's invitation, received a similar proposal soon afterwards from Corporal Kelsey De Santis. On his website, the singer-turned actor called the November 12 Marine Corps Ball he attended with De Santis "one of the most moving evenings" of his life. — Reuters Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
