Mila Kunis came to co-star Justin Timberlake's defense at a Moscow press junket for Friends With Benefits -- and she did it in Russian!

The reporter asked why Timberlake is focusing on movies instead of music, and Kunis pounced all over her! She said:

    "Why movies? Why not? What kind of question is that? Why are you here?"


Ouch! Justin is adorable -- he's got headphones on to hear the translations, and jokes that Kunis is his "bodyguard." Watch it all in the video above!
