Natalie Portman is reportedly furious over speculation that Rachel Cusk's forthcoming novel Life of M is based partly on her, with sources claiming the actress feels 'violated' by the conversation surrounding the book in Paris ahead of its 25 August release.
The novel follows an unnamed writer documenting the life of a famous actress known only as M. Cusk has not confirmed that the character is based on Portman, but readers and literary commentators have pointed to similarities between M's fictional career and the Oscar winner's life.
