Natalie Portman Says Sex Scene With Mila Kunis Was ‘Extreme’
Natalie Portman‘s portrayal of a tormented ballerina in Darren Aronovsky’s upcoming film ‘Black Swan’ has many critics buzzing, but it’s not just her twirling that has everyone talking.
The actress, who stars opposite Mila Kunis in the film, opened up to V Magazine about growing up on film and her much-discussed sex scene with Kunis.
Portman, who has previously shied away from overtly sexual roles and even turned down parts due to scripted nudity, says she has become more open in recent years to baring more than just her soul on film.
“I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it’s weird to be doing stuff on film as you’re figuring it out.”
The actress, who is known for choosing tasteful-but-complex roles, says that she has no moral objections to being nude on screen, although she fears the potential for exploitation.
“It’s annoying, because online bulls**t interferes with what I want to do artistically. I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that. It’s always a big dilemma for me.”
The actress defends her scene with Kunis and builds hype for the film in one fell swoop, telling V of the performance, “It’s not raunchy — it’s extreme.”
