The Golden Globe-nominated actress Mila Kunis has agreed to accompany an American soldier to a ball after he posted a video plea for a date with her on YouTube.
The Jewish star, who was born in the Soviet Union and moved to the US after the fall of Communism, has said she will attend a Marine Corps ball in November with Sgt Scott Moore.
Sgt Moore, who is serving in Afghanistan, posted the video invitation on the internet last month.
It has now attracted more than 184,000 hits.
