WiLdFiRe 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 Natalie Portman is no prostituteActress says many take roles for moneyBy Jeannette WallsMSNBCAre some of Hollywood’s highest paid actresses practicing the world’s oldest profession?That’s what Natalie Portman seems to be saying. The “V for Vendetta” star startled some when she compared certain working actresses to working girls. “I don’t want to be working for money because then you are no different [from] a prostitute,” Portman told Britain’s Independent newspaper. But Portman, who also starred in such flicks as “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones,” says that her friends and family keep her from selling out. “I have the most amazing friends in the world, who are doing such interesting and different things, and are their own people,” Portman said. “They are my support base along with my parents. They are inspiring and always doing different, interesting things so I remember how to be a person by being around them.” If thats what she said & she wasn't misquoted, my opinion of her just went down!

GimmeSumSugar 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2006 (edited) Gee, and here I thought "working for money" was being an adult. Now, selling your body for sex--that's being a prostitute. I was appalled when I read this this morning. Better watch out--she's turning into Gwyneth!!! Have to agree ~ Yet another actress I have always liked who is making it more and more impossible to like them as people outside of their roles. "I don't want to ever be working just for money because then you are no different than a prostitute," says PortmanThat is the actual quote from the paper. The interview is a very good one with her. I think Ms Wells is deliberately interpreting her comment out of context. I get the impression what she means is that she doesn't just want to work for money and it be just ABOUT money, like the life of a prostitute is. That she wants to work for fun and for what she can learn from the roles. She's talking metaphorically. She wants a better experience than her work just being about money. Nowhere does she mention any actress or anyone else. Read the article, you'll see. So the quote from Ms Wells (who's notorious for getting her facts muddled up and misinterpreting) that she says 'many' - she doesn't. She doesn't mention the word 'many'. Sadly, her comment has left her open to attack by people like this who've read it as an attack on all other actresses. It's also worth noting that when most people talk of 'you' they're often talking of themselves. Be wary of what you read as quotes from other quotes because they're almost always embellished.

GimmeSumSugar 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2006 According to In Touch magazine, Natalie Portman may be back together with her ex-boyfriend, Gael Garcia Bernal, despite her recently being photographed out with Jake Gyllenhaal. Pictured here before their 2004 break-up, a friend told the weekly magazine of Portman's split with the actor, "They really love each other. They had hit a point in their relationship where it just couldn't go anywhere else and they just needed some time apart." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobbyD 2 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 Portman signs up for nude role 07 July 2006 Natalie Portman is to appear nude in an upcoming movie. She will play the part of artist's muse. The actress will be seen completely naked during torture scenes in the the historical drama Goya's Ghosts, which focuses on revered artist Francisco Goya. Portman plays Goya's muse, Alicia, who becomes embroiled in a scandal after she is accused of being a heretic by a monk. It is not the first time Portman has stripped off for a movie role. She previously exposed her body in the complex romantic drama Closer, which also starred Jude Law, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen, but the explicit scenes were eventually cut. The 24-year-old actress, who appeared in the three Star Wars' prequels, has previously admitted she is uncomfortable being a sex symbol because of her role in 'Leon'. Portman shot to fame aged just 12 years old by playing a young Lolita-esque orphan who befriends a hardened assassin in the critically acclaimed 1994 movie. Although the role won her universal acclaim, the actress admits she found it disturbing that some men lusted after her - even though she was a child. "I had a bad experience when Leon first came out. "In hindsight, I'm really proud of that film, though at the time it was unnerving to find myself suddenly being looked at," she said. -Bang!

kappy22 1 Report post Posted July 10, 2006 Is anyone familiar with this story about Goya? Was he 'muse' tortured - I assume by someone else and not Goya, right?!

Cutielb99 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) Natalie Portman NOT Nude in Goya's Ghost - It's a Body Double Egotastic! It is with a sad heart that I must report to you today that there will be no actual scenes of Natalie Portman nude in Goya's Ghost. That's right, all our hopes and dreams have been completely crushed, but honestly, were you really expecting it to happen? Even though Egotastic! published the Natalie Portman Nude in Goya's Ghost piece on May 31, it took everyone else until this week to dig up the story, which not only annoyed me, it also seems to have annoyed Natalie Portman. In fact, Portman seems to be so annoyed, that tonight on Access Hollywood, Natalie Portman's spokesperson set the record straight, and revealed that, in fact, the nude torture scene is performed by a nude body double, and not Natalie at all. "It is a Body Double, and the double is in profile and shadow. You see nothing." So there you have it. You can go cry in the corner now. You won't be the only one.

You afraid you will upset your fans or ruin your image?(your image took a beating by keeping your clothes on with your wooden acting in Phantom Menace) People fightin' in a damn war, and you worried about press about your ass being incorrectly linke to being naked in a movie? I may differ from people on the board, but I don't think there is anything wrong with nudity...difference being, if it is nudity in a movie that calls for it....or Friday The 13th Part 68... *steps off Soapboax* Sorry, didn't mean to go all Ollysmum on Natalie...LOL!

Babloo328 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2006 She doesn't want to go nude because she doesn't want to be on porn sites. Well, if you're that insecure with how nerdy boys who watch Star Wars over and over again work, then I think you're in the wrong line of work, Natalie. She was fabulous in Closer and nudity wasn't required in that film because it was mainly about the dialogue of the characters. But I can see where she was coming from. I saw Closer on opening day and there was a whole gaggle of teenage boys hoping to catch a glimpse of some boobage. Needless to say, they didn't care for that movie at all.

She was semi-nude in that movie..and they cut out the sex scenes...she knew initially the character would call for nudity. That's where I think she's a bonehead...you take a stripper role...and you know there will be some nudity, and she did it...but made the director cut it. Most character actors I know, know that some roles do demand nudity(I think she knows that to otherwise wouldn't have accepted Closer). I just think she's insane..but hey, it's her world.

The nudity in Natalie’s upcoming movie will be done by a body double. A body double. I know, stop crying. Suck it up. She will give in one day. If you’ve never boycotted a movie, go ahead and feel free to do so with this movie. That will teach those Hollywood types to not toy with our emotions. Fuckers.

Well, if you're that insecure with how nerdy boys who watch Star Wars over and over again work, then I think you're in the wrong line of work, Natalie.She must be on the porn sites anyway; it doesn't matter if an actress actually poses nude, someone will just superimpose her head on a nude body and let the geeks drool. Why should she go nude?That's for unknowns struggling to break in, older actresses trying to prove they're still sex goddesses, or child stars hoping to make the transition to adult roles.Portman doesn't fit any of those categories; and she's established enough to refuse to do anything she doesn't feel like doing.

If she's against nude scenes why even film them in the first place, and make a big stink about them? I aqree, she doesn't necessarily need them for her career, but nudity is a part of acting...and she's being uptight.Don't also forget that some roles do call for an actress to get nude(Gia, Monster's Ball, Dorothy Dandridge, Nell, Silence of the Lambs...examples of some, but many others). She was playing a stripper, so if she wasn't cool with nudity she should've passed on the role and let it be given to someone who understood the role and wouldn't flip out. I would just say don't do the role in the first place. It's not as simple or cut an dry as you say...but good points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
