Natalie's always been an absolute stunner of a woman. If I have a type, it's Natalie Portman.

[@aphrodite4130]

I have a type too. Natalie Portman is not it, but she's very pretty. Heath Ledger is certainly what I prefer.

[@gatekeeperboxing5898]

@@aphrodite4130 I don't have a type per se, but Nathalie Portman sure floats my boat.

[@Thomas-qf6bf]

Madeline Stowe is my type. She is breath taking!❤️

[@DR_L3G0]

same. remember ross's "list" from friends? she tops it

[@gregj831]

And how nice of her to be an outspoken proponent for defunding Cops all the while as Black-on-Black gun genocide is at record high levels! Must be nice when Progressives Elites like her can make such insane rants when they don't have to live among the consequences of it.

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

I remember Natalie way back when she was 12 years old in a movie called "The Professional". That was a really good movie. She has grown up to be so beautiful.

[@Davepool-hs7vr]

Great movie

[@Cyanid3-VX]

One of my favorite movies

[@thelawofdivineoneness458]

It sure was a great movie guys. Now that I'm thinking about it I may watch it again this weekend. Netflix just added it their streaming library in October.

[@KARIS1961]

Fantastic movie!

[@TheWorldsGotTalent]

Yup aka LEON was such an amazing film with young Natalie Portman. She's always had the cutest laugh ever. My favorite films she's been in are The Professional, Garden State and Hotel Chevalier.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

She’s such a lady. Always love her. Like a throwback from old Hollywood.

[@garyjones2561]

She still does a doodoo poop every day.

[@gregj831]

WTF is wrong with you? That stupid Progressive Elitist 'Portman' has been calling for defunding Police and how easy is it for these Elites to do so WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE TO LIVE AMONG THE HORRIFIC CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR INSANE BS? Portman is a victimizer and a racist!

Who cares about Oscars? Really? If I asked you to name your top 20 favourite actors or actresses, you could. If I asked you to tell me about your favourite movies of all time, you could describe the plots to me and who was in them. If I asked you to name me the last 20 Oscar winners for best man or best woman in a leading role ..... Exactly. They are not important.
