Academy Award winning actress Natalie Portman revealed a secret this week on The Drew Barrymore Show.
During a question and answer session on the show, Portman was asked what the one thing is that she would never do for a role. And it turns out that it’s actually something Drew Barrymore has already done, numerous times.
“Ooh, that’s a good one,” Portman said after reading the question.
After a short pause to think about it, she replied, “Um…show my b—-?
“Is that really prude?” Portman asked Barrymore after appearing to mentally connect the dots that she may have just offended the show’s host.
“No, it’s not!” Barrymore shouted back, trying to reassure her.
“I’m just always like, ‘I don’t want my kids to see pictures online,'” Portman continued, still digging that hole.
After some awkward chuckles, Barrymore responded, “I didn’t know there’d be an ‘online’ when I did it. I was like, ‘Good luck finding that magazine under some weird guy’s bed in some random house!’
“But no judgement, darlings.”
Barrymore is referring to several photo shoots she did in the pre-internet era for magazines like Playboy, Interview and CR Fashion Book in which she posed sans clothing.
Apparently, she didn’t realize that movies like Boys on the Side and Bad Girls would also still be around today either.
In other Natalie Portman news, she told Andy Cohen this week on Watch What Happens Live that she would be down for reprising her role as Padme Amidala from the Star Wars films.
She also shared a story related to Star Wars that involved her meeting England’s King Charles at the premiere of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace in 1999.
“I remember Prince Charles, he was then Prince Charles, asked me if I was in the originals,” Portman told Cohen. “I was like, ‘No, I’m 18!’ But he was very friendly.”
For the record, the third original Star Wars film was released on May 25, 1983. Natalie Portman was born on June 9, 1981. Easy mistake by ole Charles there.
