Spouse
Chad Kimball(August 26, 2018 – present)
She has experience with British accents from her theater work. This came in handy when she was auditioning for the role of the Armorer in The Mandalorian (2019), because she was asked to perform with that accent. After she landed the part, she combined elements of British and Mid-Atlantic accents into her performance. Her accent turned out so convincing that many believed that she was from Britain.

QUOTES:
[on his role in Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)] I like playing villains – villains that aren’t that bright, you know?..Okay, this is the guy. I’m thinking I can finally bring some mustaches out of the drawer.This is set in the mid-’80s. Glasses down to here. And the mustache is somewhere between [Adolf Hitler] and ]Groucho Marx].
One of the biggest misconceptions about me is that I’m a comedian, which I’m not. A comedian is someone who can stand up in front of an audience and make you laugh. I’ve never done stand-up and I never will. I’m a comic actor. My comedy comes through my characters.
I would love to work with Sir Anthony Hopkins. How and why that would happen in a comedy I’m not sure–why he would be dragged over to my side, or I’d be be dragged over to his side.
At the end of the day, even if my part is a bit goofy, the key thing is that I’m doing what I love to do, and that’s to make people laugh.

Luc Besson (December 14, 1997 – May 2, 2000) (divorced)
Shawn Andrews (October 2, 1992 – November 25, 1992) (annulled)
QUOTES:
While filming the movie Dazed and Confused (1993), she eloped with actor Shawn Andrews to Las Vegas, Nevada. It was 1992 and several months before she turned 17. Since she was only 16 at the time, her mother had the marriage annulled.
Despite being on the posters, most of her scenes from Dazed and Confused were cut from the finished product. Upset at this, Milla decided to take a break from acting for the next 3 years to focus on her music career. She didn’t act again until she was cast in the title role for The Fifth Element.
She said the reason she did Resident Evil (2002) was because her brother was a huge fan of the video game.

After I saw the first thing I ever did, I got a migraine.
Armani’s clothes are beautiful and modern and I love him.
But ‘Basquiat (1996)’ is the first thing I’ve done that I’m really proud of.

QUOTES:
My first car was a Chevy Cavalier. My dad somehow convinced me that it was a hot sports car because it was red.
I grew up being a bit of a tomboy, a big-time tomboy.
I was told this is a male-dominated network and the male demographic is stronger than female. This is a show about Vikings and you are just the wife. I remember thinking that was not the way I was going to play it.
Every woman has to learn how to defend themselves. If you can protect your body and have confidence in your body, then in any situation you’d be able to defend yourself. It gives you the power, and confidence has to start within yourself.

QUOTES:
“I can relate to Susan. She thinks in terms of practicality. There are certain areas where we’re very similar and certain areas where we’re not. I feel very defensive of her. If anyone accuses Susan of being an outright cynic, I’ll say, ‘No, she’s not. There’s a perfectly logical explanation for it all. Don’t talk about her like that!'” (on her character, Susan Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia)
“Skandar has these eyes that are really expressive and quite penetrating” (on her first impression of costar Skandar Keynes).
“It’s gone more quickly than I expected; the time has really flown past. It’s a bit like a long and lovely dream, and now I’m ready to wake up.” (on the experience of filming the Chronicles of Narnia)
It’s a laid-back set, and everyone’s very friendly. Andrew is so relaxed that it makes everyone else relaxed. – On the set of the Chronicles of Narnia

QUOTES:
I’m so fair that I didn’t go in the sun as a child. When all my friends were on the beach, I was going to ballet. The teachers there didn’t like you going in the sun, so I never did.
[When asked about her worst memory of being involved in the Lord of the Rings trilogy] “When we were doing reshoots, we spent a few days doing the scene where I’m fighting the Witch-King. It was hard coming back after a couple of years away and not being as fit as I had been then.”
Everyone says you should get a photo taken of yourself while you’re pregnant. I’ve got a film [War of the Worlds (2005)]. It’ll be nice for my daughter, too, to look at one day. She was in it.

QUOTES:
I’m a weirdo. I don’t leave the house unless I have to.
I was always loud and obnoxious and giggly and funny.
I’m having a great time. I get to travel and see the world. And yeah, I’ll have a family, because I don’t want to miss out on that amazing experience, but it’s not defining who I am.
I used Vamps (2012) as a casting couch! I pretty much did, because I was casting Life Happens (2011) while I was on the set of ‘Vamps,’ and anybody I had ever worked with, I asked to be in this movie.
I have a new little stray dog that I’ve had for about a month now. His name is Mikey Mohawk – he’s this little terrier with a natural Mohawk. My friend found him hit by a car on Pico Boulevard.
I don’t normally do shoots in bikinis – I’m just not that kind of girl. But for ‘Maxim’ I was like, ‘Bring it on!’ I wanted to wear the higher heels and the skimpier bathing suit. I figured I’d go for it!

QUOTES:
[on her nude picture scandal] I’m much better now. But truthfully, I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way.
Power to the Peaceful.
[on her role in The Frozen Ground (2013)] Ever since I was really young, I wanted to play a prostitute. It’s just, like, thrilling as an actor to put yourself in a situation you, personally, would never be in. At the end of the day, you’re just a kid playing pretend, so if you’re going to do it, might as well go crazy with it.
