The Goa Spotlight Just another WordPress site
Without a doubt, Natalie Portman is one of the most talented actresses of the seventh art. At just 11 years old, the star was already making a mark in pop culture by playing Mathilda in The professionalcontroversial feature film directed by Luc Besson🇧🇷 And since then, Portman has been collecting increasingly iconic works, ranging from black swan — which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress — the jackie and the recent VoxLux🇧🇷
And now, the artist delivers yet another role that reaffirms her place as a chameleon of cinema in Thor: Love and Thunder🇧🇷 In this Marvel superproduction, Natalie embodies the astrophysicist Jane Foster, who after a series of unexpected events (which we won’t spoil here), becomes “Mighty Thor”, a super heroine who helps the God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) to fight the sinister Gorr — villain played by Christian Bale🇧🇷
In exclusive interview with CLAUDIA, Natalie Portman gave details about the recordings, shared her favorite songs from “Guns n Roses” and even revealed what was the most defining role of her career. See below:
CLAUDIA: What was the most challenging aspect about working on Thor: Love and Thunder🇧🇷
Natalie Portman: For me, the hardest thing was throwing myself into the experience, because working with Taika Waititi [diretor do filme] it is different from any experiences with other filmmakers. He really wants you to be in the moment, creative and spontaneous. There is no such thing as doing the same thing twice. So the only control or preparation possible for the recordings was to be open to whatever came.
Speaking of on-set experience, you and Tessa Thompson have great chemistry on camera. What was it like working with her?
Natalie Portman: I loved working with Tessa! We’ve been friends for a long time and we’ve worked together in Annihilation [filme de 2018 dirigido por Alex Garland]🇧🇷 It was really exciting to do this together. Both Tessa and her character [Valkyrie] they are fierce. No spoilers, but there’s a specific scene in the movie where you can really feel our friendship and bond.
We hear many Guns n Roses songs in the movie! So… What is your favorite song of theirs and why?
Natalie Portman: Paradise City! It was one of the first songs I memorized the lyrics to when I was a kid. It is very good!
Now for an even tougher question: who is the greatest rock n roll band of all time?
Natalie Portman: Hmm… The Zombies!
Looking back over your entire trajectory, what was the most defining role of your career? We’re secretly waiting for you to say Black Swan.
Natalie Portman: Without a doubt it is black swan🇧🇷 I met my husband on this film, so he has a very special meaning for me. It was an incredible creative experience and has great personal significance.
Incredible! Now, Natalie, what is the most important lesson the audience can take away from Thor: Love and Thunder🇧🇷
Natalie Portman: I think the production really appreciates love in all its forms. It simply shows that the center of the universe is surrounded by all kinds of affection.
And finally, how different was playing Jane Foster this time around? Did you feel something new?
Natalie Portman: It was so amazing to play her as a super hero! I loved having the opportunity to see her as an astrophysicist — which is why I fell in love with the character early on in the project. And now, she’s Mighty Thor!
