Natalie Portman’s City Stroll
Sun, 02 March 2008 at 12:59 am
Natalie Portman braves the chilly New York City temperatures on Saturday, strolling around Greenwich Village with a new mystery male.
Earlier this week, Nat made a guest appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman (watch here) and Late Night with Conan O’Brien (watch here).
According to box office estimates, her latest period drama, The Other Boleyn Girl, opened in third place this past Friday, pulling in $2.8 million.
Semi-Pro (Will Ferrell) opened in the top spot with $5.5 million, followed by Vantage Point (Matthew Fox, Dennis Quaid) with $3.7 million.

COOL 1ST
I LOVE NATALIE IN STAR
WARS
PRETTY
Nat is so COOL!!!
Whoa. She looks veeeery different without her hair/ makeup done. And not in a good way. Yikes.
What happened to her cute boyfriend, Nathan was it?
she gained weight
Natalie is so cool , she’s so much talented she rox
Excellent actress!
Gained weight? Her legs look like toothpicks! No, she’s a skinny little thing. Pretty girl too. But, I don’t agree that she’s a good actress…..I’ve never found her believable in a role. Very overrated in my opinion. But good-looking, yes.
Definitely good looking.
I wouldnt Say shes gained weight, did you see her on letterman and conan? she was very thin, but shes still very pretty, i think shes a great actress too!
None of the galleries are working.
Natalie is very thin woman and she is not the kind of woman who lives for the camera she might prefer to be out and about w/o makeup gives her a more natural look many actress who have natural beauty don’t always run out to put on make up..I think she looks wonderful still..
Nathan and she broke off a long time ago..back in like Oct..I think she isn’t looking to have a steady again right now..but I think she is an amazing actress I saw Boleyn and she and scarlett did wonderful and very believable..I also saw Goya and God Natalie is very talented..she played Crazy woman well..
I can’t believe Natalie is almost 30 and still looks good!
#15, what are you on about? People over 30 aren’t good looking? Try telling that to Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and many more!
Natalie is in no way overrated. She is one of the most talented actresses her age. I’m glad that she doesn’t always go for the big roles that might be a comercial success but have undeveloped characters. I’ve seen most of her movies and except for Star Wars, in which she was ok but as I said the role didn’t demand much from the actor, she was always good. Take Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, which clearly is a childrens movie, and not a very good one, but if you have actors like Natalie und Dustin Hoffman who have a certain presence on screen you can improve every movie.
And if she gained weight it’s a good thing because she tended to be really skinny over the last year or so. i think she looks gorgeous in these pictures especially with less or no make-up.
I hope that she has enough success to achieve another Academy Award nomination. even though she already has a long career she still has a long future and I hope that she keeps the good work going.
when did medocrity become talent?
and her presence on camera is quite inspid.
I just can’t believe someone so old who is almost 30 still looks pretty good.
#16
Ok eww
Naomi Watts, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett and many more! are old,
ugly and probably really loose and baggy. Usually girls are trash once
they are over 23.
Natalie is an exception though. She still looks good but I can’t begin to imagine what she will look like in 2 years time.
*insipid
@ #14 What are you on about? She’s still with Nathan Bogle. There were pictures of them together in the daily “London Lite” just a week ago when she was in London. Plus, he followed her around like a little puppy dog on her Finca college lecture tour, with pictures to boot. They are most definitely still together.
#19
no way how old are you?5 ??I take your comment as a stupid joke.
30 is not old!
30 is still young!
30 IS old. 30 is probably young if you are like 65.
If 30 is ‘young’ then I guess it’s ok for a young 30 year old to date a 15
year old. A 30 yr old woman IS OLD and it is so over for her.
no way @ 03/02/2008 at 9:53 am

Hahahahaha….that is about the stupidest thing I have ever read…thanks for the laugh! You HAVE to be 12…and so, SO going to remember these words you typed one day…and laugh your butt off, too.
Natalie is great…it’s very refreshing to see a 20-something celeb that isn’t a train wreck or on her way to being a train wreck these days.

CLICK!!!!THANKS:)
mattie, i couldn’t agree with you more
Wow. How did this turn into an idiotic, ageist debate, when Natalie ISN’T CLOSE TO 30? And, by the way, I think Nicole Kidman, who is 40, is the hands-down most beautiful woman in Hollywood, along with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Helen Mirren. But I guess you think it’s “over for them”, #23.
–read my blog at http://fashionpoirot.blogspot.com
natalie es una bellesa, la amo, me tiene loquito
Good for them. But I just saw him on “W ealthyR omance.c om . what happened to their marriage?
30 is old. Most 30+ year old guys want an 18 year old gf or 20 yr old
NOT an old ugly 30 year old who has withered away.
It must really suck to be 30 when all the kids are stealing your men.
#19 no way,
Don’t forget to $heet into your gun and shoot yourself when you turn 23 and start to look like trash!
She can’t even open a movie, that is so sad.
yeh i agree she nothing special as an actress. its kinda sad cuz i think everybody “want” to like her cuz she’s not like the other starlets, nol ****** etc, but if you look at her movies and really just judge the perfromances i don’t think shes that talented, there are worse sure but shes definitely always very fake in her roles. and no im not just talking about star wars lol. goyas ghosts? i mean come one that was really bad and she even got very bad reviews for that. i also thought she was phony in garden state, cute but phoney and her british accents in movies, well come on we all know they dont cut it!
i i THINK NATALIE IS HOT TODAY, TOMORROW AND 20 YEARS FROM KNOW AND SHE IS ONLY 26 BESIDES MATURE WOMEN ARE VERY ATRACTIVE.

YOu idiots who think thirty is old and ugly have obviously never laid eyes on Jenifer Garner, Rachel McAdams, and Halle Berry who is actually 40!!!! Wow. What is wrong with this world. First thin actresses are sexy (not saying all aren’t, but most look like children) and now, thirty is OLD. Jesus.
And btw, Natalie isn’t even THAT close to thirty. she’s just twenty six. Dang.
Don’t freak out you guys, the poster who thinks 30 is old is obviously 12 or 13 or something. Most message board posters are frighteningly young and immature. I remember being a kid/teen and thinking that anybody over 25 was “ancient”; now I’m 28 and I know better!! Whoever said that person will remember what they said when they’re 30 themselves and laugh their @sses off is right!
Caught TOBG the other night; she was great as Anne. Not how I would’ve written the character but Natalie played it great. She was so b*tchy, the audience couldn’t stop laughing.
So now she’s added a B*tchy, Foolish English Queen to her ever-interesting list of characters. I’m so happy she’s made the choice to do character-driven pieces rather than go after all the bubblegum movies like Anne Hathaway or the other starlets who are going to find themselves in some serious career trouble in about five years.
Heena, please don’t ask questions like “when did mediocrity become talent?”; it comes off as either terribly naive or ignorant, and I don’t get the feeling that’s what you were going for.
The whole weekend gross is between 8-10 m. That’s actually really good for a February release; tickets sales between January and May are usually pretty low unless there’s some major event like Cloverfield. It’ll probably gross about $20 million.
Who can open a film anymore? Reese WItherspoons films have been hit or miss at the box office. Actually, you can say that about all the so called box office heavyweights (Sam Jackson, Harrison Ford). No one can bring in 20 million just because they’re in the film; people aren’t going to just mindlessly for over their cash because of some actor.
I wish people would stop trying to play the Industry Insider game, and then make ignorant comments. Geesh.
Jon, b*tchy to say the least. When Mary was all “I love him” and Anne says “maybe you should stop”, it was soo…fantastically snarky. She really brought it. That film wasn’t all that good, in my opinion, but she was entertaining.
you are the one who is naive and ignorant - you paid to see her film
as another poster has already articulated she is popular because she is perceived to be different from the other starlets
actors are hired due to their marketability with the public
this does not equate with acting ability
Nicholas
If they are still dating he is never with her anymore and Nathan lives in London one report stated that they are good friends but nothing more right now..so good chance he might have gone to her premier since she was there in london promoting it..
Heena- please stop suggesting your personal opinion is a well-known fact. Movie Stars are often hired for their marketability, character actors are often pigeonholed into certain roles. So how do you decide who’s being hired for skill?
Natalie Portman is liked because many people thought she was fantastic in Closer and V for Vendetta, thought she was so cute in Garden State, and was hilarious in that SNL short. The Wes Anderson short had the sh*t downloaded out of it. She’s liked because some of us think she’s talented. You don’t have to agree, and quite frankly, I doubt anyone really cares about your thoughts..
Sara- regarding the box office heavyweight thing: You’re right, no one can really bring in that kind of cash anymore, regardless of their project. That’s why I wish they’d stop cutting actors these $40 million checks. No actor has really earned that kind of money.
Thanks for all of the awesome Natalie Portman pics! She’s a class act!
She is not only but with her head on the earth. I follow her since I saw the Professional and I expected that she had more talented that Golden Gloves, she won, I expected in a near future she win a Oscar of Goya Ghost, or the Other Boylen Girls, I now that she was burn in 1981 and her birthday would be the 9 of June, she is 26, young sexy and she had a long to go in acting, I heard a comparison with Keira Knitley, she is superior to anythling, in actind her face and body is more fit, and she is no overweight, I desiere to have an Oscar that she deserve, that is my point of view, her name is Natalile Hershlag and she is not spoiled like most of celebreties, she has influence in other countries like Africa that she is gathering money for children victims of AID. for that purpose she has my respect, and llike an actress has a kif of future.
Alberto Fraga- It seems like English is not your first language and I’m not knocking you for that at all, but I think you should be aware that Africa is a CONTINENT, not a COUNTRY. Just wanted to point that out.
On the topic of Natalie, I agree that she is low on talent and high on hype. But all the “starlets” today are, really. I have no problem with her or anything, but I always laugh when people talk about her in comparison to Streep or Hepburn. In her dreams!! She is just an enormously pretty, skinny girl who can effectively play dress up- she is not a woman who can truly inhabit a role.
No way is she straight. She must be gay, you can totally see the queerness.
30 is not old. i know a couple of women in their 30s and they are very pretty. men who are 30 plus and prefer 18-20 year olds are gross, and not many 18-20 year old women would want to go out with a man who will want to ditch them once they turn 30. anywayz, a younger woman would only want to go out with a manwho is much older if they have a lot of money!! so i feel sorry for older men who prefer young girls, they are fools! i hope you’re rich, No Way!! by the way, natalie is beeaaautiful!!!
JiveTalker- Don’t be a snot.
30 is old if you’re 12. 40 is middle aged. 60 is when you’re officially old. And if Kate Winslet if “old”, then I LOVE OLD LADIES.
For those wondering: TOBG scored a healthy $8.3 this weekend, making it the best per screen. It brought in twice as much as Penelope, and less than half of Semi-Pro while playing on a third of the screens. (Which means chances are if it had opened on the same number of screens as SP, it would’ve brought in about the same or more.)
Chances are it’ll bank a respectable $20 million (conservative). If it continues at this rate though, it could bank around $40.
Natalie Portman is overrated in both looks and acting ability. Her acting in Star Wars is bar none the worst I’ve ever seen and ruined the prequels for me. She has zero charisma and is incredibly wooden. What a shame that Keira Knightley and Rose Byrne (Brad Pitt’s GF in Troy) both played handmaidens to Natalie as Queen Amidala, when either one would have shown much more charisma and screen presence in the role. She is also a very average looking woman. I’ll give you pretty but she’s nothing special in any way. She is like a poor man’s version of Keira Knightly or Winona Ryder, who are both much better looking.
@ #50 lolz
30 is old. And you know it! Nope many gurls like older guys cause they
think they are more mature and will treat them with more respect etc.
And probably have daddy issues. It’s not always because of the dollars! $$$$
I know many kids that likes older guys and would date a 40 yr old!
Like WTF!! Sick!
And if a 30+ man is with a 30+ woman then HE is the loser. He should dump her immediately and find a 16-22 yr old! HAHAHA!!
And you’re right, Natalie is beautiful for someone almost 30.
@ No Way
the average young woman would not go out with someone that much older!!! i am a young woman, and i think older guys are creepy. i always think there is something wrong with them - they obviously are so immature they cant have a relationship with someone their own age, so they have to rob the cradle! only young women who want a cool lifestyle (the $) or have been knocked around a lot by guys their own age (so, as u said, they want a mature guy), or i guess have daddy issues, would go out with an older guy!! If u think 30 is soooo old, what are you (if u are a guy, which i suspect u are, cos even a 12 yr old female will know they are going to turn 30 one day - if they’re lucky!) going to do when you’re 23/30 whatever - keep looking for younger women and then dumping them again when they get older?! thats just desperate and sad!! especially when women over 30 are still HOT, like Eva Longoria, Fergie and Gwen Stefani!!!
I am sure that Natalie will still look beautiful when she is 30 plus!! and if you think she’s ugly a couple of years from now, you should go back to watching hannah montana or other shows with teenage actresses who aren’t half as good as natalie! natalie will still have plenty of fans!!!
Abby- When Keira puts out more than two critically acclaimed performances, then we’ll talk about who’s the poor man’s who. But since all Keira Knightley can manage is stuck up, upper-class, English chicks…. Also, I’d comment on Winona Ryder but I honestly can’t stop laughing; that someone even considers that broody twit talented is a source of amazement!
Sara- And since last night it brought in another $2 million. This one should do well enough.
I am a 37 year old guy and don’t like women my age who are stuck up, high maintenance and demanding. And most women my age are already
married or have kids.Plus their bodies are ugly, wrinkly and saggy.
So I don’t have a choice but to date younger girls.
They are still charming and cute when they are young. My gf is a 20 year old college girl and she looks about 17. I don’t plan on marrying her.
And many of my friends are married to 30+ yr old women and are unhappy. Many of them are jealous of me, they all look at teen pr0n,
I don’t need to look at it.
she looks good as always
No Way- My guess, based on sentence structure and general post content, is that you’re actually a 15 yr old Lolita, aghast to discover that not all grown men would want you.
Have you ever seen an actual 30 year old woman naked? Rachel McAdams is about 30. Kate WInslet, Rachel Weisz, Naomi Watts…. all of their bodies are far more pleasing to the eye than the bodies of Ellen Page, or Miley Cyrus or whoever pedophiles obsess over.
No I’m just an immature 37 year old man who likes the young! Rachel McAdams, Naomi, Kate and Rachel are old and ugly but Rachel was ok in The Hot Chick (when she was younger!)
All you people are MORONS and SAVENTS! Please do us smart and educated people and get a life and stop spreading lies and stupidity in this site.
You asked for it: Natalie Portman is OVERRATED because of her SEXY LOOKS, and the ability to STRIP NAKED with NO ACTING CHOPS NECESSARY. All of you dumbasses are blinded by her Israeli exotic looks that you don’t care if she is a ****** actress. The only film that she was good in, I mean REALLY good is in the Professional back when she was a kid. She hit her peak then and has gone downhill since. She is not growing as an actress, she has no acting training in Shakespeare or studied acting in London (hell, Carrie Fisher is a better actress than her). AND SHE CAN’T DO THE BRITISH ACCENT !!!!! She should just not talk and shut up her mouth and model in front of you instead. Now she is Directing…haha like Sophia Copolla’s motto “If you can’t act, then direct”.

Ekateri- What the h*ll is a ’savent’? It’s not in the dictionary. I’m guessing that a smart, educated person like yourself meant ’savant’, such as idiot savant?
“You asked for it: Natalie Portman is OVERRATED because of her SEXY LOOKS, and the ability to STRIP NAKED with NO ACTING CHOPS NECESSARY”
Natalie Portman is overrated because of the ability to strip naked? While that makes very little sense, let me just point out that Natalie Portman had been a critically acclaimed, award winning actress for more than ten years before she started doing more adult roles. So suck it.
“All of you dumbasses are blinded by her Israeli exotic looks that you don’t care if she is a ****** actress.”
Exotic Israeli looks? Natalie Portman’s father’s family immigrated to Israel from Poland. Her mother is American; her mother’s family also immigrated in from around that area of Europe. Natalie Portman doesn’t have exotic “Middle Eastern” (and that is what you meant, isn’t it?) looks, you moron.
“The only film that she was good in, I mean REALLY good is in the Professional back when she was a kid. She hit her peak then and has gone downhill since.”
That’s a matter of opinion. Most professional film critics and most of Hollywood would seem to disagree with you.
“She is not growing as an actress, she has no acting training in Shakespeare or studied acting in London (hell, Carrie Fisher is a better actress than her).”
I would say she’s grown greatly as an actress, especially over the past few years as she’s taken on more varied roles. Secondly, the majority of actors, even British actors, have no theater training, nor did they train in London. And what has that to do with anything, anyway?
You type like an idiot. Writing half your post in caps? B*tch please. If you want to try and pass yourself off as an intellectual, would it kill you to post well-written (which does not include writing “hahaha”), properly structured posts? Seriously.
The moment you suggested that an actor can only be skilled is if they train in London, you lost any and all credibility as a “smart and educated [person] who know[s] film history and great acting”. Please, do yourself a favor: go up to a complete stranger - anyone, I don’t care - then tell that poor soul that you are a smart, educated person who knows film history and great acting. Then, when that person rightfully calls you an ignorant, arrogant loser, keep that in mind the next time you get the urge to post again.
No Way- So you’re an idiot. Not that I needed you to confirm that, it’s just nice to see you admit it. It’ll be a sad day for you when you make a pass at some pretty young thing, and she laughs in your face for being too old and ugly.
Ladies, speaking as a 26 yr old guy: 30 yr old women are beautiful. There’s nothing old or ugly about them. Or 29 yr old women, or 40 yr old women. If Helen Mirren, that sexy f*cking Brit, ever asked me out I’d say “hell yeah!”, in all honesty. A sexy broad is a sexy broad, you know? This No Way idiot probably counted down the days ’til Hayden Panawhatever was legal.
Haha lol no I actually think Hayden is really fat, short and ugly!
She acts and dresses way too old for her age. Her face is on its
30s! lol I like them to look young too you know!
I am a fan of the olsens ^_^
But Hayden is fat, looks old and is ugly. Milo can keep her.
Hayden is fat? Now I know you’re an idiot. God, you’re a pedophile.
Who is this No Way character? You are absolutey delusional to say women over 30 are “withered away.” Ever hear of Gwyenth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Heidi Klum, Heather Graham, Reese Witherspoon, and Rachel Adams? Need I say more ya dumb a$$.
Jon,
Please do me and all of us a favor and don’t talk any further. Your “crush” on Natalie Portman goes way over my head and I am so so sorry that I have offended you. A critically acclaimed, award winning actress for more than ten years before she started doing more adult roles, you say? Well you may be right. Then Star Wars happened and her acting career has plummeted every since and lost its momentum. Look, the girl can’t do the British accent very well (if she can’t do it, then they should have hired Keira Knightley to do that job), is unnatural, has not taken any serious acting classes like the likes of Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep, Sally Fields. No comparison with her British counterpart, Natalie Dormer, who also played Anne Boleyn in Showtimes The Tudors. Portman played ANNE BOLEYN, a role that has been played by highly acclaimed actresses now and in the past like Helen Bonham Carter, Dorothy Tutin, Vanessa Redgrave, Charlotte Rampling and even Genevieve Bujold. Sorry to confuse you since I know you probably don’t have a CLUE about these UK/Canadian actresses that I just mentioned. So go to the ****** corner and stay there until further notice. Adieu!
