Natalie Portman tired of stripper scripts

Natalie Portman is tired of getting scripts in which her character plays a stripper or a prostitute.

She is looking for a good romantic comedy, but the filmmakers just want her to play prostitutes like the one she played in Closer.

Contactmusic.com reports her saying: "I have recently been getting frustrated with the number of roles for strippers or prostitutes I get - or the opposite, the pure one. That dichotomy exists so strongly.

"It's the virgin-whore thing in evidence to the greatest extent. That's bothering me. I want to find a character who is complicated.

"I also love comedies, but every time I read a comedy, the girl is in fashion and really into clothes and just wants to get married. I would also love to do a romantic comedy, where the woman has a real job."

I Won't Do Nude Scenes Again: Natalie

Natalie Portman has vowed that she will never strip again for screen after filming a risqué scene for her new short movie "Hotel Chevalier".

 

Portman's nude shots will soon be available on the Internet even before the film is officially released. And she is upset that she agreed to do something that was awkward in the prelude to "The Darjeeling Limited" directed by Wes Anderson, contactmusic.com reports.

 

Portman has insisted that she was convinced that nude scenes were required for the movie.

 

Portman, who requested director Mike Nichols to cut the nudity from "Closer" and used a body double for "Goya's Ghosts', said that she felt it was right to do bare scenes in the latest film.

 

She said, "I don't know why, exactly. Sometimes you make rules for yourself and sometimes those rules are made to be broken. You have to test things out and see what works for you, and this felt right.

"I'm really sorry I didn't listen to my intuition. From now on, I'm going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to say no."

The Academy-award nominated star also said that she urged director Wes Anderson to give her a chance to work with him.

"I begged Wes to work with me and show me a script. I really loved it. He has the finest taste possible," she said.
