IMDB ^ | 26 November 2008 5:34 PM, PST

Natalie Portman turned down the chance to play a nun opposite movie great Meryl Streep in Doubt - because she can't get her head around celibacy.

The actress was at one point very interested in the movie adaptation of John Patrick Shanley's hit play - but she turned the part down because she couldn't see herself as a lifelong virgin.

Nut-a-Lee Portman is a nice package wrapped around a rather strange central nervous system.

She did mention something like that to me in our last secret meeting. I offered to quit seeing her for a while if it made her feel any better, but she said no way.

*Shrugs*...I mean, I did offer.

I was completely unaware that once you play a nun you must become one!

If she can’t visualize it, she can’t play it. I understand that.

....she arrived at this conclusion shortly after learning how much Ms. Streep were getting for her role in the movie.

How proud her parents must be. “Mom,, im *such* a human pin cushion, i couldn’t **possibly*** play a nice girl,,, jeeezzzz”.

And i don’t know, but i understand some actors really jump at a chance to play across from Streep? They think it’s even good for the career?

Lunacy,, also,, i bet her agent was just *thrilled* to hear her decision.

I don't think God intended man to be celibate. I think he intended for a young man and a young girl to marry and have sex all they want. In fact the bible says so.

That doesn't mean you can't pretend to be celibate. It is called acting. Now some people can't act all that well. They simply play themselves but if you are a charismatic person such as John Wayne, or Roy Rogers, there will still be lots of rolls for you.

It is just pretend isn’t it? I mean can Harrison Ford really survive a jump from a crashing jet? Do the zombies really come back to life? Is Dudley DoRight really that dumb?
