Natalie Portman: Happy to Be Naked

Ramin Setoodeh

 



Big headlines were grabbed this week by a quote from Natalie Portman that implied she regretted her nude scene in Wes Anderson's "Hotel Chevalier," the short film paired with "The Darjeeling Limited" (in wider release today). Oops. It turns out, Portman was talking about using a body double in another movie, "Goya's Ghosts," and Parade Magazine misquoted her in a press release. Parade quickly released this statement: "Portman is very happy with 'Hotel Chevalier' and proud of her work in the film. PARADE apologizes for the error." If you're keeping track at home, Portman may not like doing nude scenes, but she sure likes talking about them. In 1999, she went on Oprah to reveal—nothing. Except that she wouldn't have done "Anywhere But Here" had they not cut her character's nude scene. In 2004, she shot the "Closer" strip club scene in the buff, and then convinced Mike Nichols to dump the footage. Anyway, we're glad Parade resolved this mixup and we're glad that Natalie's finally OK with her body. We're sure her male fans are OK with it, too.
