The DJ admitted that looking back on the conversation now he wished he had done more research before meeting the Hollywood A-lister, as he proceeded to ask her questions on whether she drank Jagerbombs and would consider wearing a Watford Football Club jersey. Trending  The now infamous interview has been viewed over 14 million times and shows a then 25-year-old Chris looking nervous as he admitted being “petrified” in the actress’ presence. Many fans found the footage to be hilariously relatable after it spread like wildfire on social media, however, Chris has now exclusively told Express.co.uk that he thought the conversation with Mila was going to cost him his BBC Radio One job. He shared: “With the Mila Kunis thing, that was just me being me, but I can’t tell you the fear when I had done that interview and I told Scott [Mills]. “I thought I had screwed it up, I didn’t have the confidence then. I actually thought that was game over.    “There’s been a couple of times at Radio One where I thought that’s it, game over. That’s the end of my attempt at working on my favourite radio station.” But despite Chris’ nerves, the interview proved to be a huge success, with Mila calling it her “best interview ever”. Chris continued: “It was my first experience of just be yourself, and actually people will like you for that or at least be intrigued by you or want to support you. Just for doing something slightly different to how everyone else is doing it. “It was my first lesson of just be yourself and that is enough.”  In one of the highlights from the conversation between the pair, Chris asked the star if it was “nice to be ugly for a change” in reference to her role as the unattractive wicked witch Theodora in Oz: The Great And The Powerful. “Err, thank you,” replied the actress, struggling to fight off the giggles. She added: “I suppose it was nice to use prosthetics and not think about what I looked like all of the time.” Chris admitted that he had asked mostly questions based on real-life instead of the movie she was promoting, due to his “lack of film knowledge”.  He explained: “In the scenario with Mila, a lack of film knowledge probably didn’t help me, so we just talked real life, I invited her to a Watford game, and we chatted about Nandos.  “It was clear the PR people were getting really annoyed by me, but she was really enjoying it,” he added. Since that interview, Chris has gone on to have huge success co-hosting the Scott Mills show on Radio One with a loyal base of fans. He has now released Eat Sleep Zoom Reheat, as a guide to help university stu
