Natalie Portman is one of the few actresses who do not like publicity, do not flirt with the paparazzi, do not fill social networks with pictures, stirring up the interest of fans. The family is always in the first place for her, she calls it the center of attraction. For many years now, an idyll has reigned in her relationship with her beloved, which is so unusual for celebrities who often change their passions. And it all began on the set of the film "Black Swan".
From "Leon" to "Skirmish"
Neta-Lee Hershlag was born into a Jewish family of a famous doctor in Jerusalem. On school days, every summer the girl was in a theater camp. She was diversified, but love for the theater has always dominated. When Neta was 11 years old, she was offered to become a model of the "Revlon" company, but she did not agree.
Even then, her ambitions were aimed only at acting, she did not want to waste on trifles. Soon, the Hershlag family migrated to the United States, where Natalie easily led the casting for the film "Leon" by Luc Besson. This was the first role that brought her unprecedented popularity.
She so convincingly played a girl who became a friend of a hired killer that Jean Reno, the leading actor, said that he had never met the best actress. And the girl was then 13, and her cinematic career was just beginning. In the credits of this film, Neta is also referred to as Hershlag, but later she takes the stage name "Natalie Portman".
In 1995, the young actress played in the famous "Fight" with Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. This film became very grossing and entered the list of classics of cinema. Since then, luck has accompanied the artist. But for a real actor, success is not enough: cinema is very hard work, and sometimes there is practically no time for personal life.
Study and nominations
Over the next few years, Portman successfully starred in films, received awards and prizes in many nominations. After completing filming in the film "Where the Heart is", she entered the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. The actress told reporters that in the near future she was not going to take part except for "Star Wars", but wanted to devote herself to science.
In 2002, Natalie's research work "Activity of the frontal lobe of the brain at an object constant" was published. It should be noted that Portman's IQ is extremely high not only for a creative person, but also for a scientist. And it is not surprising: the film star has not only a bachelor's degree in psychology, but also fluently speaks English, German, French, Arabic, Japanese and native Hebrew.
Natalie is a great ballerina and is well versed in art and does not stand still in her knowledge: she is constantly improving. In addition, Portman is very natural and open, which is important in her profession. But she tries to keep her personal life under a veil.
From pa to wedding
In 2000, after the Oscars, Natalie Portman met the talented young actor Gael Garcia Bernal. This romance was so serious that he promised to go into a marital relationship. However, the distance at which the lovers were during constant filming (he was in Europe, she was in the States) inevitably led to a break, which Gael bitterly regretted in his revelations with the press.
In the ten years after parting with Bernal, Natalie had short romantic relationships with co-stars on the set, such as Jake Gyllenhaal, Hayden Christensen, singers Adam Levine, Lucas Haas, Devendra Banhart and multimillionaire Nat Rothschild.
True love came to the actress on the set of the movie "Black Swan", where Portman played a ballerina. While working on this picture, she admitted that ballet is a special world of fanatics, in which you live spiritually and physically. This is a kind of sect.
In the end, while training on ballet steps, Natalie began an affair with the leading choreographer of the picture and dancer of the New York Theater, Benjamin Millepier. Eight hours a day of joint training with batman and stretching led to the fact that to receive the Oscar, the stars walked the red carpet, holding hands, and under her heart, happy Natalie carried their future first child.
The son of Portman and Millepieu was born on June 14, 2011. His parents, as true believing Jews, gave him the name Aleph, according to the first letter of Hebrew. They consciously approached the birth of a son when they were already fully formed personalities who had gained everyday experience. Therefore, their union was built on harmony and mutual respect.
Today
Nowadays, Natalie Portman occupies a worthy place in the list of in-demand actresses, although after the birth of her daughter Amalia in February 2017, she devotes more and more free time to her children and her husband. Natalie manages to engage in social activities, science, charity and preaches vegetarianism. The actress is active in anti-war propaganda among young people and takes part in the presidential election campaigns, representing the Democratic Party.
For the sake of her beloved husband, Natalie agreed to leave America and move to the capital of France, where Millepier was offered to lead the ballet troupe of the Paris Opera. It was a very difficult step for the actress. But once Benjamin, at the insistence of his beloved, decided to convert to Judaism. Probably, this is the wisdom of family life - to be able to yield to each other.
Natalie Portman found herself in motherhood. Now she knows exactly why she decided to move and practically left her career. She admits that being a wife and mother is perfect for her. This can be compared to the fact that there is nothing more to write in the diary. After all, real female happiness does not require any comments.
