Oscar-nominated actress Natalie Portman reveals to Elle UK that her days of stripping for films are over.
"The good-girl image was something I consciously cultivated after ['The Professional.'] There was a lot of controversy about the whole Lolita thing. My parents were super-protective about it, but I got a lot of weird letters. It was really upsetting," she says.
"I didn't want to be seen as a sex object, so I went the opposite direction. I'm definitely not a prude about sex or nudity, I just don't want do something that will end up in a screen grab on a porn site," she adds.
Portman did strip for her role in 'Hotel Chevalier.' Watch: Warning, Mature
Another thing the actress won't do? Take on Jewish roles -- although she herself is Jewish.
"I've always tried to stay away from playing Jews. I get like 20 Holocaust scripts a month, but I hate the genre," she tells the magazine, The Huffington Post reports.
However, she recently went against her own rules and played a Hasidic bride in 'New York, I Love You.'
"That was the first thing to come my way that really intrigued me," she said.
Natalie Need to buy BOOBs...yeah buddy, BUT I KNOW A LOT OF MEN WHO NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING TO ENLARGE THEIR MANHOOD STICKS, ........HOPE YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THEM.....
Don't worry, according to this article, you never will anyway. JFTR, I didn't think that scene from Hotel Chevalier was erotic at all. It seemed to run far more to the romantic end.
So let me see if I've got this.....She won"t do nude scenes,but she just did one for a new movie and she won't do Jewish roles but just played a Hasidic bride. Boy, she makes less sense than Brit Hume.
That movie isn't new, it was a prologue to The Darjeeling Limited which came out in 2007. Get your facts straight before you make remarks about a nice person.
thats a crying shame Natalie Portman won't be doing any more nude scenes. to me, she has a great body. so many men, ruins it for the rest of us that love to see the female celebraties naked.
Talk about a career ending statement, this one has to be on the top of any mans list. I dont think there is any actress who after making that statement was able to have a long and lucrative movie career.

Natalie Portman is a great little actress.... but she needs to go out and buy herself a pair of breasts before I'd even want to see her naked again!

So sorry that all women can't be shaped to your liking. You're right, we should get surgically altered to look the same or hide ourselves in shame.
I'll take sexy little Natalie just the way she is.

Now, why do women need bigger boobs when there are men like you? You're a big enough boob for us all.
Naked for money = porn star,, no matter how high priced...

Zara, yeah and any man who isn't 6" soft and 10" hard should go out and buy themselves penial implants. You are such a moron.

I suggest you watch a porn movie and see the difference between this scene and porn.
This is art pure and simple.
Lesbians too!
