After embroider his role as obsessive dancer 'black swan' and win the Oscar, the actress, with a reputation for tough and sweet at the same time not surprising. Multiply their faces with three new movies in the billboard and its assault on the production. On 'Thor', where it acts despite the scandal that this has caused among his followers, Natalie Portman responds with a few words: "I hate to repeat myself."
Sabra. Thus it is said Hebrew prickly pear. It is also an expression used by those born in Israel to describe those seemingly tough, but sweeter than inside. And this is how it describes itself Natalie Portman:
"Sabra." None of Oscar-winning star of his excellent work on black swan. Neither child prodigy who debuted with the professional when he was 12 years. Or queen of the geeks after passing through the Wars or the "boring good girl" who talked of his classmates love. Not even the sexiest, according to internet lists. Not so. As you approach age 30, awaiting their first child designed with the dancer Benjamin Millepied and the Oscar and all the Hollywood awards in his possession, Portman, born in Israel, raised in the U.S., it looks like a prickly pear, ripe fruit and tenacious that plays out, defense mechanism after nearly two decades in this industry, but sweet on the inside, juicy and full of flavor that the public has enjoyed black swan.
No more to see it when he picked up a Golden Globe With the excitement let out from his well-calculated image laughter nothing inn, nothing fancy, almost a snore, but so human that felt like a hug. Yes, watch out for spikes! Because until Portman smiles and lets you test your sweetness the first thing you see in this tiny actress who is around 1.60 in height is a perfect speech, compound and almost robotic, accompanied by a serene gaze, safe yet elusive, like a stray dog \u200b\u200byou do not know if you want to bite or be your friend forever. "You get used to seeing from outside, to see images of you and see your movies, and is a dangerous dissociation. You need to protect, but also as an artist, you need to back yourself, be yourself without having to please others, "says politely.
the day of the interview, the smile is closer than the bite.
The meeting takes place away from everything. Far from motherhood, far from her Oscar and away from the world of mortals. Lost in the middle of absolute nothingness, in the plains of New Mexico, an hour's drive from Santa Fe where Portman was filming anything Thor, the latest Marvel superhero who comes to the screen. "I do not know who he was until I was offered the role. But if you want me to make up that is my favorite superhero, I do ...", he adds complicity on the rigors of a relentless advertising.
We are sheltered from cold steppe in a caravan that serves as the clubhouse and in which nothing is missing. There are even television paradoxical for an actress who claimed to have no such device at his home in Los Angeles where he now lives.
But it was not the landscape or the powers of Thor which have convinced to come here, but the possibility of working with Kenneth Branagh, the film's director. Portman is given to the directors he admires. Says that while the actor is selfish and egocentric, the director is the one who shares his vision with the public through the lens. That is the credo of his career. "Ken is amazing. The real engine of this story. Is not it fascinating that a director as he is behind a film based on a comic? That made me think that the film would be different. And it met my expectations. Work with him every day is my reward. "
Son muchos los que se llevaron las manos a la cabeza al ver el nombre de Portman en este filme de palomitas, donde en principio se le ha perdido poco a una actriz de su talla. Pero esta actriz siempre se ha caracterizado por tener su propio criterio y sus elecciones, acertadas o no. “Quizá de pequeña me dejaba influir más, sentía que tenía que responder a lo que otros esperaban de mí. Pero, desde luego, no ahora”.
Portman pertenece a una amplia generación de intérpretes que comenzaron a la vez y han llegado muy alto. “Todas comenzamos de niñas. Si mira a Lindsay Lohan, Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Kirsten Dunst, Christina Ricci, Claire Danes o Reese Witherspoon, all started so young. Then there were others who grew more and we were dwarfs, "he adds humor, conscious of his height. But as once said actor Eric Bana, "do not be fooled by its size, because it is pure dynamite." Besides, what real difference from the rest of his generation is that Portman has always been for free, swimming outside the stereotypes. She alone escaped the label of "the new Julia Roberts."
Perhaps that is why as no one doubted his quality and Portman rejected projects that seemed perfect for someone of his age and worth, the actress surprised the industry by saying yes the most critical work of his career. Also the most fans (and money) has reported. The Queen Amidala in the saga of Star Wars. Of course, it took two weeks to say yes to the most sought-after role. "They were going to be 10 years of my life since I signed up to the premiere of the latter. It was a decision that I was afraid, "says honestly.
His friends speak of the geek is in Portman, and it must be true judging by the ease with which it handles in forums such as the San Diego ComicCon, the highest concentration of geeks per square meter, where the actress is revered for his work not only in the saga of George Lucas, but with siblings Wachowski in V for Vendetta and now Thor.
Gemini Blame
black swan after seeing them is difficult to think or even believe that Portman afraid of something, who doubts his talent. Those who have worked with believe it either. Mike Nichols, the director who made Closer woman and gave him his first Oscar nomination, compared with Meryl Streep's because, as she knows disappear into any character he plays. "I see more with the class of Grace Kelly," Scarlett Johansson said after working with him in The Other Boleyn Girl. "It is women who want to pile your plane," says the director Jim Sheridan praising a job that looks like technical but it is pure emotion. " Again the two sides of Portman. Of course, when you speak from the dualities, the actress says with a slight shrug and a smile, "do you expect from a Gemini!". Portman knows she is shy.
is also curious. "I have fear of anything, but that is usually a sign that I have to. Because if I do something that scares me, I just bored and do a bad job. While I am concerned whether the work, all I do is think about it and I eat until I get to do my best. " After such a confession, it is easy to see why his paper has embroidered black swan.
