Natalie Portman: Hollywood whores

2006-03-23 20:20:03

Natalie Portman claims actresses who go to Hollywood to get rich are no better than prostitutes.

The 'V for Vendetta' star insists she only takes on roles based on their artistic merit and says she would never agree to be in a film just because she was offered a large fee.
She said: "I don't want to ever be working for money because then you are no different to a prostitute."

The screen beauty - who starred in the money spinning 'Star Wars' prequels - also revealed going to college was the best thing she's ever done.

Portman - who once said she would "rather be smart than a movie star" - says her experiences at America's prestigious Harvard University taught her to have a life outside of Tinseltown.

She told Britain's Independent newspaper: "I have the most amazing friends in the world, who are doing such interesting and different things, and are their own people. 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.

"Like, you can play a person if you are a person in real life. It's hard to be like, 'I just pretend to be a human being on TV!' So the most important thing about college is that now I really have a life and I've got that forever."

Isn't "working for money" pretty much what 99% of the regular people do?

That's what I was thinking. I don't see how acting is any different if it's your JOB. You should still work hard and do your best, but there's nothing wrong w/ expecting to be rewarded for your effort.

Actually you make a good point Barbara.

Barbara · March 24th, 2006, 03:22 AM

I'm not letting this bitch call me a prostitute

Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa.

He He, good one Barbara

. I didn't even notice that sentence till you pointed it out! So yep, the reason I am sat at this desk doing a job I really don't enjoy anymore is NOTHING to do with the fact that it pays the bills.

She thinks she's so high and mighty. Argh I can't stand her! Emaciated little troll with eyebrows like straight lines across her forehead! And although she believes she is a great actress, I don't think so. I saw the Star Wars movies with her and it was like watching a wood board try to act. Snooze.

Her in Starwars was a suckfest.

And, me thinks somebody really likes themselves. And takes themselves wayyy too seriously. So, if I get offered a movie role that will pay me millions, but doesn't have much artistic merit, I am the same as a woman who will suck dick for cash? Riiiiight. That makes perfect sense. Thanks for enlightening me, o wise one.

I cant wait for her next bon mots.

i actually like natalie a lot. i think (padme aside) she does choose cool roles in cool movies. i suspect liberal editing is at it again...

It this some sort of clever ploy to dupe us into thinking SHE'S interesting and different? If so, it's not working. She as boring as mud and has her head firmly up her own bottom.

Oh, and nice one, Barb...that's the best comment I've see all day,

What is funny is the irony that she doesn't "get" why she is a highly paid "actress" in the first place... nowadays in Hollywood to be a sucessful "actress" all one has to do is be under the age of 25, big boobs, skinny to the point of emaciation, and be willing to appear nude and/or screw the director/producer/etc...

There is absolutely NO "acting" involved for most "starletts" in tinsletown.

So yes, Natalie, you are a whore.

aabbcc · March 24th, 2006, 04:48 PM

If she feels this way, why then is she still acting? And really, until she starts making all these wonderful, meaningful, insightful movies for free, then she should be quiet.

Natalie, can you say hypocrite? Sure you can.
