While excitement for Darren Aronofsky’s forthcoming, supernatural ballet thriller “Black Swan” is running high, there is certain contingent (you know who they are) who are drooling at the rumored sex scene between Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.
Well, sorry sweaty palmed fappers, in an interview with UK Elle, Portman says, “I’m definitely not a prude about sex or nudity, I just don’t want do something that will end up as a screen grab on a porn site so meanwhile I’m doing halfsies – I’m like, ‘I’ll show my butt but not my boobs’.” Portman is probably all to familiar with screengrabs, as scenes from “Closer” (in which she’s a stripper who, like Jessica Alba in “Sin City,” never manages to take off her clothes) and Wes Anderson’s short, “Hotel Chevalier” (where she wore her birthday suit while keeping the naughty bits were hidden) still made their way onto skeezy hot bod sites who are aching for anything Portman.
Portman goes on to say that she aspires to a career like that of Meryl Streep. “You look at Meryl Streep, who is so phenomenally, freakishly gorgeous, and in some ways it’s just bizarre that she was never a sex symbol. But it was always about her – and now it doesn’t matter that she’s getting older, because we just want to continue watching her be an interesting person. Whereas you see actresses who marketed themselves on their bodies, and they might be good, but over time they just lose it because that sort of thing doesn’t last.”
For the record, yes we (well, at least this writer at The Playlist) thinks Portman is gorgeous, but we admire her stand particularly in an industry that is already difficult for women, and often favors youth and beauty over experience and talent.
