Natalie Portman looks absolutely stunning, as always, on the new cover of Vogue magazine.
On eating: “I swear, I eat. I ate a bagel an hour ago. I consume my own weight in hummus every day. I cook a lot, and I even do vegan baking.”
On the double standard:
“There’s a difference between being in a bra and underpants as an object on a men’s-magazine cover and playing yourself—a woman with desires and needs who loves and laughs with her friends—in a bra and underpants. You become an object if you simply put it out there. Most movies are made by men, it’s totally natural that they’re going to present their worldview, so we’re trying to find more women who are writers and directors who are expressing their worldview. Did you see Tiny Furniture? Lena Dunham wrote, directed, and starred in it; she’s 23, and it is just amazing. She walks around in her underwear for the whole movie; it’s harsh. She’s the subject, she’s not the object, and it’s beautiful—that’s the kind of thing we need more of.”
Darren Aronofsky on Natalie Portman’s portrayal of Nina in Black Swan:
“The only way to be perfect, is to allow chaos and madness into your life. Natalie has very few opportunities to express the dangerous side of her, and there’s a lot of colors there. She teases; she’s playful and sexy and so beautiful it hurts.”
It's Natalie's six Vogue cover (check out other covers below), she was photographed by Peter Lindberg wearing a J Mendell hand pleated silk chiffon dress. Check out the behind the scenes footage of Natalie at the Vogue shoot below...
