Natalie Portman Bares Scars Of Being Sexualized By Hollywood At 12
The Mix ^ | 12/9/2020 | James Conrad

Natalie Portman is one of the few child stars who managed to stay on a good path and transition to a successful acting career as an adult. Being sexualized by Hollywood at a tender age, however, left the Oscar-winning Best Actress with scars according to a candid chat with Dax Shepard of “Parenthood” fame.

In a new interview, the Black Swan actress reveals how coming of age in Hollywood – and coming out healthy on the other side – was far from easy for her. Natalie Portman says that being “sexualized as a child” actress by the media took a major toll on her.

Why does anyone care. Another victim of Hollyweird - she needs to talk to her parents about this.

Hmm. Wonder why the author had to name that particular movie she was in that had her do lesbian scenes with Mila Kunis, and not her other movies.

What drivel! She was a calculating kid actor who benefited tremendously by her precociousness. And no mention of her parents who pushed her into the role of an assassin's protege in The Professional.

I guess shes not getting much attention lately. Wooden acting doesn't get you far these days.

Because if she kills them, she'll never work in that town again.

That covers damn near everyone in California government and show business. She must be tired.

"Being sexualized by Hollywood at a tender age..."

How about holding your parent(s) responsible for that? They allowed it.

The Professional was a good movie, but uncomfortable watching her part. I understand the original draft a more intimate relationship between the characters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9on:_The_Professional

Gary Oldman has another great role in that one too.

She did Black Swan as an adult, is that correct?

So would she hand over her Oscar for that role (Where she simulated a well acted masturbation scene)and all the money she earned after Leon: The Professional to charity?

This 'ex post facto' woe is me syndrome is self-serving crap. By default, actors are mental wrecks, which is why proper societies likened them to prostitutes and allowed them to run wild in their containment areas after enjoying their stage performances. Not to be taken seriously, seriously.

Get out of the business completely, then talk.

That’s almost exactly what I was going to say. I liked the Professional, but I found how she was dressed unnecessary to the plot.

But for those who said, why not name names, it almost seems like she is pointing right at this time period, just look at her profile on IMDB. Born in 1981, the Professional was released in 1994, which probably means shot in 1993.

Did she bare physical scars, or does she bear emotional/psychological scars?

I know its against FR rules, but you really should read some of the article.

There are no names to name! Her parents originally protected her and then she protected herself from those leaches.

“Portman initially turned down a lead role in the coming-of-age film Anywhere but Here (1999) after learning it would involve a sex scene, but director Wayne Wang and actress Susan Sarandon (who played Portman’s mother in the film) demanded a rewrite of the script. Portman was shown a new draft, and she decided to accept the role.[13][55] Mary Elizabeth Williams of Salon called Portman’s performance “astonishing” and said that “unlike any number of actresses her age, she’s neither too maudlin nor too plucky”.[56] She received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress.[57]”

I’m sure her millions of dollars will console her guilty conscience for remaining silent and letting the abuse continue on other children.

When I see “sexualized” used by Hollywood actresses it always means “Yes, I made a lot of money selling my looks to the highest bidder at a young age...but I wish they had loved me for my mind.” :)
