Natalie Portman dishes on meeting Mark Hamill and stalking martin short during 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Natalie Portman recently graced the 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' stage, showcasing her remarkable talent and sharing some delightful anecdotes.
The actress, who boasts an Oscar, a Harvard diploma, and even a symbolic Thor hammer, discussed various aspects of her life, including her latest acclaimed performance in the movie 'May December,' currently streaming on Netflix.
The Thor hammer anecdote
Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time diving into the conversation, asking Portman about her Thor hammer. With a mix of humor and candidness, she revealed, "I do have a hammer of Thor. They gave me the memorabilia one that's no one's allowed to touch, and then I also have my stunt practice hammer which gets more use."
When the conversation shifted to parenting, Kimmel inquired about the potential dangers of having a heavy Thor hammer around her kids. Portman chuckled, sharing that her kids know not to harm anyone with it but emphasized the need for caution, given its weight.
"It's heavy; it can do damage. My kids know not to try and harm with it, but I have to be careful when kids visit the house."
Natalie's whimsical journey into "who's high" on Jimmy's stage
The conversation took a lighthearted turn when Kimmel proposed a game of "Who's High," a humorous segment where pedestrians are questioned to determine if they are under the influence. Portman took the lead, skillfully asking the participants about their last meals,
"I was not good at it in the beginning, but yeah, well with kids, you know you got to watch them. I mean, it's a good skill to have as a parent."
One memorable moment occurred when Portman confidently guessed that Rosen, a makeup artist from Ireland, might be high "That is a really good question. That would be Rosen; you could start. What's the last meal you had?"
Natalie's thrill with Mark Hamill and Martin Short
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Portman shared her recent encounters with two entertainment legends. The actress met Mark Hamill for the first time, an experience she found thrilling.
"I met Mark Hamill for my first time. He called me his mother, was like, 'Oh, Luke Skywalker, the coolest thing.' I think I have a photograph of that meeting."
Another starstruck moment occurred at the Golden Globes, where Portman and her friend Jess couldn't resist stalking Martin Short.
"At the Globes also I met Martin Short that I oh the oh really lost my mind. Oh yeah, the best. My friend Jess and I were like, 'Whoa!' We were stalking up behind him like Mr Short, Mr Short, said Portman.
In the end, Natalie Portman left the audience with a warm smile and an invitation to check out her latest movie, 'May December,' on Netflix.
