Natalie Portman Talks About the Importance of Female Friendships in Hollywood
Natalie Portman is a girl’s girl. While promoting her new film A Tale of Love and Darkness, the actress opened up about the importance of having female bonds in Hollywood.
“It’s so important and we’re prevented from it a lot because we don’t get to work with each other a lot,” she told The Insider With Yahoo. “I’ve actually been noticing it a lot even in kids’ films recently, how you see even like a cartoon and there’s like a girl in it, and we’re used to that. It’s a film of all men and then there’s a woman. And acting for 20 years, I’m used to that — that I’m the woman on set.”
But in Natalie’s upcoming film, Annihilation, she shares the screen with a cast of female characters including Gina Rodriguez.
“When we do get the opportunity to work with other women, we always end up just like running toward each other and embracing because it’s such great energy to have.”
So how was it working with the Jane the Virgin star? “She’s so good and she’s just a great girl,” the 35-year-old said. And the feeling is mutual. The Insider With Yahoo recently caught up with Gina and she couldn’t help but gush about her co-star. She even admitted that the Oscar winner is the most famous person in her phone contacts.
