Natalie Portman: “I smoked weed in college, but I haven’t smoked in yearsâ€
I’ve just spent WAY too much time trying to find photos of Natalie Portman looking stoned. It actually wasn’t that difficult, considering that in many of her pregnant photos, she looks kind of baked, but I debated whether or not that was appropriate. Guess what? It is! And I don’t mean that she looks pregnant-baked in a nasty way - I often think super-pregnant women look baked. It’s the hormones, I guess. They just look kind of out-of-it and blissed-out, which is how they probably look when they’re stoned.
Anyway, Natalie Portman smoked the reefer. Back in the day, when she was in college. She talked about the good ol’ days to Entertainment Weekly:
Black Swan star Natalie Portman makes her first post-Oscar movie appearance this Friday in the stoner comedy Your Highness. She’s also developing Best Buds, a buddy comedy about a marijuana-laced road trip, with her production company Handsomecharlie Films.
But just because Portman is taking the high road in her work doesn’t mean she’s doing so in real life, too.
“I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven’t smoked in years,†Portman told EW in December, a few weeks before announcing her pregnancy. “I’m too old. I wish I was that cool, but I’m like an old lady now. I’m in bed by 10 p.m. I can’t do that anymore.â€
Portman explained that her interest in Your Highness was sparked when director David Gordon Green assured her that her role, an arrow-slinging female warrior, wouldn’t just be window dressing.
“When I sat down with David, he was like, ‘The girl’s going to be funny here,’†said Portman. “To have him be able to think of me in that way was so lucky, because [the role] is a real departure from anything I’ve done on film.â€

I have to say, Natalie Portman doesn’t look too annoying in the trailers for Your Highness, but I’m admitting that through my obvious Danny McBride dong haze. So, even though Natalie doesn’t look smug and pretentious in the trailer, and even though she’s probably barely going to promote this movie, she still wants to gift us with one eye-rolling interview. Sure, I believe she smoked pot, and I bet she enjoys stoner comedies too. But she ruins it by reminding us all that she’s an OSCAR-WINNING dramatic actress who gets to pull rank and demand changes to her character. By the way, if Natalie is as funny as she seems to think she is, why don’t we ever see it in her interviews?
UPDATE: I should do another post about this, but whatever. Natalie is so boring and smug. She finally spoke about Sarah Lane, one of her ballerine body-doubles and the controversial comments Lane made about how much dancing Natalie really did in Black Swan. Natalie said: “I know what went on. We had an amazing experience making the movie. I don’t want to tarnish it by entering it into nastiness… I’m really proud of everyone’s work on the movie, my experience. I will have that forever. And it’s nice for me to know about that no matter what kind of nastiness or gossip is going around.†NASTY. She said “nastiness†twice. Sarah Lane = Nasty. Thus spoketh the Portman.

I think she is promoting the movie and was at a press junket . I saw an interview on eonline yesterday and the background looked like that kind of set up. In the interview she is trying to adress the “dancing issue†without really addressing it.

She’s kind of being a try-hard here.
I think her character is going to be super annoying in this movie. I hate how they are trying to make her like the main fighter in the film. The super feminist that can kick everyone’s ass even though she’s tiny. So beyond annoying. It’s not like Million Dollar Baby were Hillary Swank looked the part.

i am by no means a natalie supporter, but in her older interviews with david letterman, she actually is kind of cleverly hilarious.
that said, she does give off an annoying smugness as of late.

of course she smoked weed in college. She’s made this duh-obvious little remark to shore up her image with everyone. I still like her….but she is quite the little media gal, isn’t she?

Actually the interview she gave to Letterman during the promotion of I.don’t.remember.what.movie was pretty funny. And it’s the only interview of hers I have ever seen.
I’m still baffled by that movie Your highness, it looks stupid, but maybe it’s good.

Notice how whenever a celeb admits to drug use, it’s something they USED to do, but no longer do? Yeah right. Come on Natalie, you’re a pothead, ‘fess up!

Wait, are we sure that Natalie actually smoked the weed? Or did she get a “hand model†to do that for her?

Lee @6, “annoying smugness of lateâ€
That’s because she graduated from Harvard AND she did her own dancing in Black Swan.

That fake rap video she did on Saturday Night Live a few years ago was hilarious. I’m not saying she wrote it herself, but she carried it off. The dichotomy of the little pink shirt and the foul language was too funny.
