Natalie Portman on Star Wars and Visiting a Transylvanian Strip Club | Late Night with Conan O’Brien

[@Jon_from_LI]

Natalie has always had such an infectious smile and laughter.

[@Certaintystillexists]

Shut up. She is dressed like a 12 year old going to a friends birthday party.

[@luiscorchado3930]

That smile destroyed the Galaxy XD

[@tlaf3045]

Natalie Portman is a unicorn. Tremendous actress, brilliant, great sense of humor and absolutely beautiful. I’m not big on Hollywood but she has navigated her fame brilliantly.

[@TonyStark-uu9us]

Also: made money off Star Wars 😂

[@larslan1975]

[@manchesterexplorer8519]

She's stayed true to herself.

[@TicTacTone2]

Not to mention extremely intelligent. She has a degree from Harvard

[@gwailotus9154]

she is 22 here. she has a unique blend of cuteness, innocence, confidence, intelligence, maturity, poise, class, charisma, humility, a great sense of humor, is down to earth, AND gorgeous.

[@HeinzMuller-rn5wg]

Hey, stop it, because you're obviously totally in love with her. And you know what?................................................ so am I! 😁

[@bennettnez4711]

Classic conan. Never taking a sick day and still coming out a cut above all the other late night shlubs.

[@jmanned]

Conan is probably my favorite of all time, but Craig Ferguson was great too

1billion cuts above the rest. he is godtier naked nude pre cut uncut dinosaur era ancient BEEF StEAK!!! others are trash.

[@Mithinco]

She destroyed Conan being a Civil War buff 😂😂

[@loneventhorizon]

lol yep shredded

[@PonkeyPoe]

20 years later and Conan is just as quick with his improv, jokes and wit. The man has aged like fine wine.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

@PonkeyPoe For me he's the second funniest man next to the late great Robin Williams R.I.P. (1951-2014)

[@thecoach1683]

Not really, he's slowed down a bit and there's nothing wrong with that.

[@mattschrader2250]

Fine Irish wine

[@larrycastro5113]

I thought the same, He's quick with funny hilarious responses,

[@1870Coppelia]

And like wine he is bitter but also sweet to his staff and audiences. And if you consume too much you get drunk on his humour but then wake up realising you had a lot more than you should have, and you start talking funny

[@adamscottv]

She has the best smile ever.

[@natalieportmanfan1817]

True 😍😍

[@FrigidFrosty]

Natalie Portman is such a great actress, I've enjoyed watching her in movies through the years. Thank you, bless you and your family and friends

[@LydellAaron]

Like how Conan backed off her hair after she crossed her arms. He's very quick and perceptive.

[@MrHusang23]

Conan's on fire here and Natalie's a great partner for his comedy.

[@Mtl-zf9om]

One of a kind smile she has. reason I clicked.

[@JomerTB]

Natalie seemed a little nervous in the first half because Conan CARRIED that conversation like an absolute madman and maybe because he kept making Natalie laugh with his amazing quick wit. Carry on Conando!

[@Mario_N64]

She seemed anxious about the haircut questions. She even crossed her arms.

[@bradfoster5700]

Could be but she’d done press before and she was on Letterman several years prior and is much younger. But she’s sharp and quick witted.

[@backbay2242]

Maybe because the dude host of course focuses on her looks. Sorry it's creepy. She looks like she looks.

[@blucat4]

Yeah I thought he was acting a little too stupid, treating her like a child, and wasted most of the interview time.

[@thedumbguncollector5546]

@@backbay2242you are a killer of joy

[@justindenney-hall5875]

Conan's "sad face" priceless😞🤣

[@noraisanchez4144]

She's such a great actress and yeah Cold Mountain was a great movie, a must see guys and it's a nice love story...man Natalie can sure act and you'll love her performance in it. Sending you much blessings Natalie, Conan and the world as well🌻

[@Cyba_IT]

Has a bunch of heavyweight actors for the time.

[@bosarvinski907]

Conan's impression of a nerd gets me every time!

[@trevour]

And take note, kids! He's pantomiming a nerd's calculator, not a smartphone.

[@tominator23]

‘Impression’

[@willcall9431]

That girl is so beautiful. Fantastic career she has had. From a small girl facing assassins to the mother of a space hero to a ballerina.

[@axel_r_]

That "space hero" killed a planet of innocent people. 👀 😅

[@eightysevenk]

She's so beautiful and adorable with an amazing smile

[@signalenergie]

Absolutely.

[@natalieportmanfan1817]

True ❤

[@patreekotime4578]

Every time I see her my mind starts playing the Natalie rap she did on SNL. So iconic.

[@CosminNeagu]

As a romanian I can confirm Halloween wasn't a thing for us until like 10 years ago. Still isn't a serious holiday, but we have other traditions regarding ghosts in the fall. We share food for the dead relatives and have superstitons on St. Andrew's about supernatural. And if you come here don't bring up Dracula, people roll their eyes, we're better than that.

[@robbybee70]

so it took some time but Natalie started it!

[@madarab37]

What about Walpurgis Nacht? And hey...what about Dracula?

[@CosminNeagu]

@@madarab37 we have other legends, a tad more taim than the germans. It's true, we have a big hungarian and germanic influences and communities who have local traditions. The afterlife/paranormal life of Romania is quite unique but not so rich as USA though. A lot of haunting stories but not so serious.

[@madarab37]

@@CosminNeagu That's cool...I only wondered about Walpurgis Nacht because it was mentioned in Bram Stoker's Dracula. I don't know if Bram ever traveled to Romania or if he just pulled that one out of German lore.

[@CosminNeagu]

@@madarab37 there are various local traditions restricted to confined areas. We have similar holidays.

[@alexperaza9475]

Damn, poor Conan. He blows out his voice doing the nerd impression and then immediately gets scorched by Natalie for making fun of Star Wars fans 😂

[@Erickchicas]

Natalie Portman such a beautiful woman.

[@stemikger]

Poor Natalie never went through the awkward stage, always stunningly beautiful. Feel bad for her.

[@dangerousbeans2907]

She’s eternally adorable.

[@Cash42]

I think this Conan guy is going to go places, I could see him do this for a long time

[@manamal769]

Natalie is soooo gorgeous omg! Love her 😍

[@smudoshi]

Two of my favorite people. This is an awesome interview :)

[@nothingpretty]

just two Harvard grads... chillin', having a conversation.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

"Transylvanian Strip Club" sounds like a cheap horror comedy just waiting to happen🧛‍♀🤣

[@alexsavutube]

I knew the place. It was a normal strip club like all the strip clubs in the world, they just rebranded "Dracula" to lure in all the overpaid foreigners working on the movie. The production team did all kinds of of ridiculous excesses from renting strippers by the week to buying dozens upon dozens of wood carriages and abandoning them after. One of the auto park bosses used a brand new Land Rover to kill a wild boar which he ate. Foreign employs that had local drivers made them break the law in front of police to see who can pay more bribes on a route. There was no respect or common sense in the spending.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

[@pepperlewis1]

I work with a romanian that gets violently angry when you bring up vampires.

[@TonyGosu]

conan is so underrated, everything he says is hilarious

[@michaelspurling4376]

This made me laugh because, in the late '70s, I had very long curly hair and owned a ferret. It liked to wrap itself around the back of my neck and hide in my hair. It would randomly poke its head out and freak people out.

[@InnerHacking]

Most adorable laughter, and the perfect face for a sci-fi half-human half-robot movie character

[@agidotexe7167]

man if i could choose my dream girl... Natalie is so awesome, that laugh and smile is killer.

[@EtoCobra]

Finally in high quality, thanks.

[@truthhurts3524]

After first seeing Natalie in Leon The Professional, I knew she was going to be a big time actress.

[@Cyba_IT]

Some people have one or two great performances and are never seen again. I'm glad Natalie has been successful.

[@JG-vq6rd]

I really want to see that movie but it's not available on the streaming service I have.

[@TheRasiani]

Portman calling him out on the "Civil War buff" thing was absolutely priceless - not to mention, completely on point. She's quick!

[@CharlesDarwinBarkley]

conan's wit in his prime was razor sharp

[@djfanboyLIVE]

Conan is peak charming, dude. Like seriously, dude. He understands how humor works to build intimacy and kills every interview.

[@Pendragon981]

She's just perfect girlfriend material. The cute genuine witty funny girl next door that can hang out with the guys, just my type.

[@Certaintystillexists]

If your a lesbian

[@geomantilla]

That was so mean of Natalie… LOVED IT 😂😂

[@BreannaMae]

Now keep in mind, this was before nerd culture really became a huge thing. It was growing, especially with the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter franchises being massively popular. However, Comic-con at that time wasn't something celebrities were too keen on showing up to. It was a reputation thing. That's why Natalie's face was like "Um no thanks..." during her response lol. She did the Star Wars movie, which probably was just a job to her, but going to the festivals seemed a bit much. Now it's a much bigger deal and it's expected to show up to those events.

[@Spumoon]

Don't worry Conan, I'm getting in my time machine now to bring you some Ricola.

[@Mario_N64]

It's funny how she seemed pretty guarded at first, but then her body language really relaxes.

In Tivoli Copenhagen on Halloween they dress up the park in a spooky theme (probably darker than what the US is accustomed to), but you can spot the Americans in the park, because they will be the only ones dressed in costumes :D

I spent 3 months in Romania the summer of 2002. When i was sitting in the airport in Bucharest to fly back to the U.S., I saw a couple dutiful people walking by guiding Donald Sutherland past me. That was a trip. Later when Cold Mountain came out i put 2 and 2 together.

How do you know she’s not acting on this “interview”? Most of these interviews are scripted.

[@bltvd]

She seemed really cool up to Black Swan and now not so much.

[@patreekotime4578]

​​​@@taoist32They arn't scripted. They have a list of topics the producer went through with her in advance. Some comedians have sets they work through in the interview, but again it isnt scripted, the host in that case has a list of prompts they have to work into conversation and make it feel natural. But none of that is the same as following a script.

[@darkdaze3860]
