Rewind: 17-yr-old Natalie Portman talks Star Wars: Phantom Menace & what George Lucas wore every day

_"Are you an angel?"_ Yes, indeed...

I like how this 17 yo actress doesnt fell into this deviously misleading questions to get her to say fans annoy her. Counters it perfectly without being rude.

This was one of the most enjoyable celebrity interviews I have seen in a while. I love the fact that the interviewer didn't resort to dirt-digging or scandal seeking. It was refreshing to just get to see a little of the real person behind the character and hear her experiences and impressions from her part in the franchise. Well done! I wish it could have been a bit longer, but then isn't that what they say? "You want to always leave them wanting more."

I love Natalie Portman; my life celebrity crush ever since my childhood haha. She is so beautiful, but ultimately she is such an incredible and fun person to listen to. What a fascinating and intelligent young woman, this brings me back, wow. Thank you so much for this incredible interview; nothing but engagement and heart-to-heart conversation about the process of making art, with a few laughs here and there too! Incredible work. I also loved hearing her views on George, how humble and mature; thank you for this upload man!

[@stealthysynth7612]

I enjoyed this interview, great work!

[@gaget5455]

She’s so adorable here. Lil cutie pie. I like going back to older interviews like this where they just asked you questions about your experiences and what it was like to play that character and what it was like meeting the creator behind it all. Just normal conversations. Not anything personal or any drama bs. Because nowadays, people will ask you deep ass questions that make you feel uncomfortable. Hell some of them are basically traps. Nothing but “Hah Gotcha.” Moments.

My childhood was throughout the 90's so I remember.

@@Shenmue06 Do you know why the education system is broken? Beacuse it's state owned.

She probably went to a super expensive private school for rich people. I highly doubt she went to a public school.

@@Shenmue06 Debatable. Guys like Daniel Day Lewis, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hardy and Jodie Foster etc - all went to NORMAL schools and colleges. Natalie was already into middle school when she found real fame with The Professional - they wouldn't have pulled her out away from her life and friends just to plonk her into a $100k a year private school, bro.
