Natalie Portman is looking rough

Screenshot is from this recent Variety interview

WTF are you talking about? She's a beauty.

She looks great. And I say that as a woman who hates her.

She has that slightly plastic look of botox and some light fillers.

Unfortunate. She really was pretty.

R3 I agree 100%. I find her in insufferable whenever she speaks out loud but she is still gorgeous.

She has ‘thin’ skin. She likely does not get much collagen in her diet due to 30 years of veganism. She’s also getting fillers a a touch of Botox to counter this, and it’s a crapshoot as to whether that works out.

I don’t follow her at all but thought she looked abit thin and not too fresh in that interview where she was dissing Jared.

She looks good, but she also looks older than she is. She would benefit from gaining a little weight, but I'm sure, thanks to the demands of the industry, that won't happen.

In OP's pic she looks emaciated.

She's a smoker.

She is super thin right now. She's always been slender but I feel like she's especially bony these days. Her face is paying the price.

She is gorgeous, but somehow Winona Ryder looks younger than her now.

Combination of smoking, stress and weight loss on an already very thin body has aged her.

10 more Pounds would help.

Another one who was a beautiful child but never had that same kind of beauty again as an adult

It appears she's had little work done or at least less than other actresses which might also make her seem older in comparison.

Never liked her acting -

She's 45 in Jewish years.

If she was a male she would have gone bald 25 Jewish years ago

She needs to begin eating decent food and lay off the dieting.

Smoking, doesn’t eat animal protein.

I’m not a big meat eater either, but you need fat and protein. Meat is often the most efficient source.

Coalminer's Daughter 2, here I come.

Her inner cuntiness is finally surfacing

She didn't deserve to go to Harvard. Privileged.

I was shocked how unattractive she looked on Seth Meyers. Maybe just too thin?

She's old and she's been dieting and trying to look thin for PR for this movie so the last couple months have been bad for her. Vomiting, chain smoking, laxatives, etc ... the usual routine.

She needs 10 pounds and more protein, I agree.

She's rich enough to have the fat lipo'd out of any undesirable areas while maintaining it in her face.

R23, she has a privileged background, as do many qualified Harvard students. She also published scientific papers while she was still in high school. Even without the film-star status, Ivy-League universities would be interested in a student like her.

Jesus, lay off Natalie. She's a brainy beauty who happens to act. Sheesh.

I think she looks great!

For someone so intelligent she says hysterically unintelligent things and when she talks sounds like a kid from the Valley.

"I was, like, oh no, so I like, read the script, and I like, really was like .. impressed. He's like, this really .. like great director."

Natalie and Ivanka Trump both dated Jared Kushner and Nathan Rothschild.

But only Natalie helped Alan Dershowitz write a book!

She doesn’t look rough or old.

I go to church with similarly aged 30-something fraus. It’s not unusual.

OP = Netanyahu.

Bangs would help.

She looks fine, OP.

She looks absolutely fine. You people are nuts (well, some of you.)

But this is hilarious:

[quote]She's 45 in Jewish years. If she was a male she would have gone bald 25 Jewish years ago

Israel hates her to be honest and that's no good. Hardliners, I mean.

Id say its a combo of having children. (That really takes a toll on the ladies) Eating habits, weight, and smoking. I have noticed women who had kids, always seemed to age worse than their non-breeder brethren.

This isn't accounting for surgery.

She should try aerobics. It's what I do.

R28 = Jonathan Safran Foer

It's all that ballet.

Our you insane? She looks great. The vegan thing is annoying, but whatever.

N.P. was at Harvard when I was an undergrad in another college in Boston. I remember they'd wisk all 4'5" of her past all of us plebes to the from of the line as we waited in line for hours to fly back to NYC standby on the delta shuttle every holiday.

ARE....you insane. R43.

She's playing Driving Miss Daisy in the Lifetime remake.

Costarring Oprah as Hokette Coburn.

Weirdly, a lot of vegans end up having the same face. The lack of b12 and amino acids has marked physical effects.

I don’t think she looks too bad though. She has pretty eyes.

Is she happy?

I mean, she never seems upset or angry or anything ... always smiling and in great spirits (granted we only see her when she calls paps and does promo and stuff) ...... I feel like she's never even been in a bad mood her whole life.

Does anyone know anything about her personally (i know she's a reported wench on film sets occasionally).

She's a frau now.

OP, you're insane.

R48 i don't know if she's genuinely happy, a lot of actors and people in general hide behind the smiles and casual cherry talk and faux positivity when really they're feeling the opposite inside. She doesn't really seem genuinely happy to me beneath it all. Maybe she's going through an undeclared illness of some sort but anyway she doesn't look too well as in healthy

*cheery

I really just think it’s coz she’s vegan. There’s something about a strict no meat diet that gives the face this pockmarked, sunken in look. Maybe she should incorporate a little fish into her diet, oysters are great and can be considered vegan.

Oysters are in no way vegan, but she certainly needs the minerals and collagen.

It’s a bit if an argument in the vegan community r54. Oysters have no feeling but have roots like any plant, if I understand correctly, so many vegans enjoy them.

She looks very tired. I'm not sure how old her kids are but she needs a health break and some food.

Fat women age better.

There might be some mathematical formothsy calculated the number of hours you lose sleep over the years if having kids.

Sleep deprivation ages you.

Yeah, this is what years of eating very little does to a woman's body. Unless she has silicon pumped in, then she will look like Amanda LePore.

I had no idea that some vegans consider mussels and oysters to not be animals.

I guess a vegan can also have pearls to clutch. Real ones, no glass.

R57 Why is that? More nutrients, or does the fat smooth their wrinkles?

Not to mention, r58 that you’re you’re using your life force to make another human being.

She looks fine, she looks age appropriate.

Crazy bitches like her never age well.

20-year-old Natalie doing a cameo in Zoolander. Has definitely lost the fresh-faced look she had then.

Her personality is off. Maybe's it's just arrogance, or maybe she's too book smart but not otherwise.

She looks about 32

R64 how shocking that when she was 20 she looked fresher than she does now at 37.

“There’s something about a strict no meat diet that gives the face this pockmarked, sunken in look.“

Pockmarked? Wtf, her face doesn’t look “ pockmarked” nor dies a no meat diet give you that look.

It’s shocking that she doesn’t look like she did when she was 20. Shocking!!!!!!!

That flat, lank hair isn’t doing her any favors.

I do have to give the Jewess credit for leaving the Jewish cult and criticizing Israel.

The problem is, 99% of Jews who leave the Jewish Zionism cult double down on the Jewish communist aspect of the cult.

She probably wants open borders for the US, and for the white majority to be replaced by easier to control dumb black people.

plain Jane. Not a beauty, but a regular gal.

She gained a lot of weight during both of her pregnancies and it really showed in her face. She looked good.

Kind of rude and sanctimonious in the press room after she won the Oscar, though. Doesn’t seem like much fun to be around.

Of course she wouldn't be as fresh-faced as 37 as when she was 20, but the picture at R72 shows that with more healthy weight, she would look FRESHER. Closer to the round-faced, apple-cheeked look she had at 20. Of course, then everyone would call her fat. Actresses really can't win.

Time to get knocked up again, then!

Try guessing the ages of fat women vs skinny, or at least women who do not starve themselves. Nutrients and less wear and tear on the sling when you have some healthy fat. Less wrinkles. Skinny peoples’ skin gets stretched out somehow. Not scientific; just an observation.

She’s going to have a hard look like Brook Shields.

The lack of body weight and collagen makes her skin look very thin like an old persons. That's why it looks "stretched out", its just thin.

I just want to say reading the other thread about Scarlett J being such a cheap hooker and the insider reporting that Nat has had some fun but is a NUN in comparison to Scar-Hoe ... well, that made me very happy and I was relieved to hear Portman's not a total slut like the others.

She looks better than most late-30s Jewish women I know.

Needs a makeover, unless she's going for the nuts and granola look.

She'd do well to gain 10 to 20 pounds, but the actresses are so pressured to stay as anorexic skinny as possible, she's had to sacrifice her face and health for her body. That pregnancy photo was much better and not just because of the glow. She looked healthy and youthful.

Natalie isn’t my type but there’s something about her that’s attractive.

I guess it really depends on lighting/ hair & make-up, but sometimes she does look old.

She looks dry and dusty in R84. That makeup did her no favors. She needs bright, bold colors.

Does Natalie feel the professional was a disgusting movie suggesting pedophilia? I just watched it tonight and it was kind of pervy if I'm being totally barney frank.

Young kid, she says she's in love, older creep, her skimpy underwear and shorts,etc .... are we supposed to think they were having sexual relations?

I feel like if Woody Allen released this movie he'd be raked over the coals. Anyone really. Half dressed 12 year old girl and an older man all movie.

Only DL-aged actressexuals would think Nat looks anything less than gorgeous. Do any of you ever spend time with women outside of the entertainment business? Most are plain at best, hosebeasts at worst.

Portman has lovely teeth, pretty eyes, a great bone-structure and a defined jaw with regular close-to-symmetrical features. She is good-looking (and rich) enough that most straight men & lesbians her age would be lucky to snag her attention.

People want Portman to put 20 pounds don't know anything about her or have never seen her in person. She's already got a wide sizable ass and if she put on 20 pounds (considering it's not a pregnancy gain) it would go right to her hips, thighs and her ass and she would look like a short little fatty.

Short little fatty Natty.

Shorties really have it rough when they age. They don't have the benefit of height to balance proportional weight so they have to stay too thin, but it wrecks their face.

10 lbs would help.

She's going for the more natural look. I can't tell if she's had much work done, maybe that's the point. She looks decent most of the time.

I'm no fan, but this thread is a joke. She's beautiful. A 37-year-old who is aging even remotely naturally is going to have crow's feet, etc. I appreciate that she hasn't fucked herself up beyond recognition with fillers, botox, and plastic surgery.

R80 actually Jewish women tend to age the way of most ethnics, ie much better than the WASPs, Irish, Scandinavians, etc.

Even me and I have extremely Irish coloring (skin tone, maybe this came from the non Jewish side of my family though very fair skin runs on both sides), my skin seems to be less wrinkled and in better shape than Irish/Germanic etc women who have the same skin, so I think there’s something about my being half Jewish that somehow helps that. Maybe my skin is more elastic or something. I’m also very skinny, I could probably shave off a few years if I put on some weight (but I don’t wanna).

Did Nat really have a fall out with fellow Jewesses Scar-jo and Meek Mila Kunis?

she looks alright given her age and thinness

A defined jaw is a male trait. Sorry the plain hose beasts aka women let you down, R87.

In a few years she'll look even worse lol.

And you wouldn't want to see what she looks like on the inside. Poison in the flesh.

I did, R99. She was very attractive. WTF happened!!!

R99 is she British? That doesn’t count.

Um, Jewish women can look very different from one another, they don’t all look like Sarah Silverman. Some age terribly, others do not.

Natalie’s skin and wrinkles are mostly nutrition based - ie she doesn’t get enough nutrients - and due to smoking.

I sometimes wonder if people here are beyond stupid. They seem to be confused that people don’t look like they did in their 20s when they are in their 40s. How is this confusing and “what happened” worthy?

Portman looks great, she is just being subjected to the fascist pointless overscrutinizing women have to endure.

She looked great on WWHL. Normally the woman guests are made up like clowns.

She looks beautiful and age appropriate, I think . Just give her a couple of years and she’ll have the Sandy Bullock special . We are so used to seeing celebrities looking abnormally young for their ages that we forget what they look like when they age normally . I do agree that she’s too thin and that her diet is surely affecting her skin . But she’s very attractive.

Ugh, I cannot stand her...

She still has some looks despite being in starvation mode for so long. All that pressure to stay as skinny as a scarecrow stick in a caftan, these actresses taking it too far. But at least she hasn't botched her face like the others

She's still calling the paparazzi every day for strolls in Los Feliz .... did Vox Lux flop or what?

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I'm thinking they make the 'star' look sought after to the producers/ movie makers. Like "oh look, the paparazzi are hunting XX, s/he must be of interest to the general public who pay to see XX's movie".

It makes the actor look relevant. Especially if they look shitty and like they're not trying (obvious set up).

The sony hacked emails kind of revealed this. I remember emails with cut and paste pap shots that producers were discussing and how in demand the actors/actress was.

Is Natalie really the home wrecker she's been made out to be? Ruined Sean Penn's marriage, ruined Millipede's marriage, ruined Darren Aronofski's marriage .... jesus this chick is poison!

Penn, no.

The rest is spot on.

Vegans who smoke.

Biggest WTF ever.

Someone said Brie Larson has become an insufferable diva in the last few years and coincidentally she has also become good friends with .... drumroll .... you guessed it, Syossett's own Natalie Hershlag aka Portman.

I really don't get all the Brie Larson rage- she's so generic looking, when I see her, I don't know who she is.

[quote]She's still calling the paparazzi every day for strolls in Los Feliz .... did Vox Lux flop or what?

Yes.

They were showing a month old rerun on Seth Meyers the other night and she looked fantastic...great legs.

No, idiot. She does not look plastic or as if she has fillers...that's you, dimwit.

Wait she smokes? I am vegan and look great for my age. So it must be smoking.

Portman used to smoke like a chimney in addition to the 8th of pot she would smoke every day ... dunno if she still does.

Vox Lux flopped ... so no best actress nomination at Oscars?

How the hell did she not get a nom for Golden Globe her singing and dancing in Vox were fantastic!!!

The hell happened here?

Vox Lux wasn't supposed to make money. It's a love-it-or-hate-it Lars von Trier-esque indie.

Though, she has given passionate political speeches, the only time I've seen Natalie genuinely mad was some incident at the Academy Awards or Golden Globes red carpet a couple of years ago. I can't remember exactly what happened. I think some guy was standing in the way of Natalie and other female celebs?

I know the thread is 2 years old but she looked fine. She'll be back in the spotlight because of Thor.
