Natalie Portman has described method acting as a “luxury women can’t afford”, with the Oscar-winning actor saying she has never attempted it due to the impact it would have on her home life.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Portman, who trained as a ballet dancer for months ahead of her role in Black Swan, for which she won her Academy Award, said: “I’ve gotten very into roles, but I think it’s honestly a luxury that women can’t afford. I don’t think that children or partners would be very understanding of, you know, me making everyone call me ‘Jackie Kennedy’ all the time.”
