| Natalie Portman: "I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years. I'm too old." |
"I love stoner comedies," Portman, 29, told Entertainment Weekly. "I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years.
"I'm too old," Portman said. "I wish I was that cool, but I'm like an old lady now. I'm in bed by 10 p.m. I can't do that anymore."
Her comments were made before she recently announced her pregnancy.
The acclaimed actress, who took home an Oscar for her role in last year's Black Swan, is slated to star in Your Highness, which will be released later this month. Another stoner comedy, the just-announced Best Buds, will have to wait until after the birth of her first child this summer, reports Andrea Magrath at the Daily Mail.

| Portman in "Your Highness," which will be released theatrically this month |
Side note: There's nothing quite as irritating to this 50-year-old curmudgeon as a privileged 29-year-old whining about being "too old" to do anything. Shut the hell up, Natalie; get out and live a little. You're in the prime of life, and you'll never be twenty-something again.
One thing you can say for Portman: she's no dummy. The actress graduated from Harvard in 2003 with a B.A. in psychology.
"I don't care if college ruins my career," she told the New York Post at the time. "I'd rather be smart than a movie star."
But now with her admission of being a college stoner, it seems Natalie wasn't quite the straight-arrow academic she seemed.
Portman will relive her pot-smoking days in Your Highness, a medieval comedy in which she stars alongside James Franco and Danny McBride as a brothers on a quest.
She plays Isabel, a mysterious warrior who joins brothers Thadeous and Fabious in their quest to rescue Fabious' bride Balladonna from an evil sorcerer.
Portman said her interest in Your Highness was sparked when director David Gordon Green told her the role -- that of an arrow-slinging female warrior -- wouldn't be just window dressing, reports EW.
"When I sat down with David, he was like, 'The girl's going to be funny here,' " Portman said. "To have him be able to think of me in that way was so lucky, because [the role] is a real departure from anything I've done on film."
An additional level of challenge is added to their quest by Thadeous' fondness for getting stoned.
Portman will both produce and star in Best Buds. In that one, she'll play a bride-to-be who leaves her fiance at the altar for a marijuana-filled road trip with her two best friends.
"We're into very female comedies; there just aren't enough," Portman said, reports Huffington Post. "There's a difference between being in a bra and underpants as an object on a men's magazine cover and playing yourself -- a woman with desires and needs who loves and laughs with her friends -- in a bra and underpants."
She had me at "in a bra and underpants."

Portman is a REAL actress and -seems- tohave a conscience.
We are BAFFLED by her SILENCE regardingHollywood's VAST involvement with predictiveprogramming for the capstone EUGENICS agenda.
--Retreads --cultural incest --soft porn --torture porn--demoralization and tech worship --IS-- the authorizedHollywood MEN--YOU. She must be aware of this.
AGAIN ---baffling. . .
Dear Miss Prim and Proper,as you think Portman,LIVE A LITTLE and smoke a great big ole blunt,it does a body good!!!!!
I'm sorry but having a BA in Psychology doesn't make you smart. (not a hard degree and little job opportunity)
She was always an air-head. . and don't go on and on about her "harvard" degree. . .for crying out loud, John Kennedy got a Harvard degree, never went to class and dated anything that walked included a German spy. And let's fact it all this nonsense about Ivy League schools has been disproven by Obama and Kerry. . . . Can you image two stupider people? And both have Yale degrees. . .Is that funny, or what?

I'll bet she inhaled. Once. That girl was never a stoner. Too calculated, too precise. As if smoking weed was a childish activity.

It's so cute and telling that so many Americans find they have to do dope to feel real, mature, "grown up", that it's exercising their personal rights by putting instant gratification first and foremost rather than truly being contributory to the world. Please, all of you fucks- die in a fire, rid the planet of oxygen thieves.
I never heard of a cigarette smoker outgrowing smoking. If only that was all there is to quitting.
I would think , at 30 years old, Natalie Portman's bra and underpants days were over a long time ago.
i bet, i just bet that she rolls a doobie every once in a while. God, where are the smart stoner girls when you need one?
This comment page is filled with butt hurt faggots who smoked weed while watching Natalie Portman play in a movie and rubbed one off to her thinking about how cool she was for smoking pot. Now that she says she's too old for it, you realize that your boner looks a little saggy in your basement lighting. What the fuck internet, yeah she's too old for it, because she's going to be a fucking mother and the society that is related to stoners is mainly people who are 17 or act 17. I don't blame her, I wouldn't want to be related to this group at all.
TLDR; get off your supposed high horse and accept that you can't fit into your spongebob tighty whities anymore.
Generally, polls reveal 50% of the American people believe in legalization, so good for you you just lost 50% of your fans by acting like a pompous ass. Also, you have no tits. Fail on so many levels !!
i smoke every day after work, it clears my mind and reconnects me with my true inner being, its complicated but i think its something important in life. kinda like viewing yourself and your way of thinking in an unbiased 3rd person point of view, can be very educational.
Too old? If there is a such thing as too old for weed, then what in god's name is an "old-head" supposed to be? Ok, so she may be taking herself too seriously to enjoy some pot, but too old is not the proper phrasing. Besides, I would think that if you can enjoy the green and still make it through Harvard, you could do just about anything. I'm not complaining; anybody has the right to pick the when and where of whatever they do as long as they aren't infringing on the rights of others, but I think she just needs to relax. I would guess that she simply doesn't want to become a spotlight of this controversial subject raging in america... understandable; but, one should not deny oneself simply for the benefit of socio-political ambiguity. Honestly, these days, I know MORE of us "old" people and TRUE seniors who enjoy cannabis or use it medicinally than kids who do it just to be cool. I would not try to dissuade Natalie Portman with the phrase "shut up and smoke a joint", but I would say don't use a foolish phrase like "I'm too old for cannabis" when she hasn't even hit the 3 0 yet.
"We're into very female comedies; there just aren't enough," Portman said, reports Huffington Post. "There's a difference between being in a bra and underpants as an object on a men's magazine cover and playing yourself -- a woman with desires and needs who loves and laughs with her friends -- in a bra and underpants."
Jeez, one little statement and it causes this much fuss?If she thinks she's too old for it, who gives a fuck? really...
Not everyone thinks the same way, if that's how she feels, who cares? You all need to stop getting offended so easily. It's not like she's telling you (to whom actually does it) to stop, and even if she did- who'd listen, or that your too old. Even though some people obviously think she's impling it.
Really, you all need to chill, relax,.. Deep breaths poeple... ;)Don't go getting all stressed up over pointless shit and getting ulcers now
natalie is very smart deal with it. You're not supposed to agree or not agree with what she says. get a life.. you all suck
Natalie, you're too old to do alot of things anymore.Your body won't take smoking pot anymore, the way it did when you were younger.
I would have loved to smoke with her... what a wish!!! She's still sexy, smart and talented... <3
Hey folks. All herbs affect people in different ways. I knew a guy who would fight cops after smoking any strain. It all makes me sleepy.
She'd rather be smart than a movie star. We all know that going to an Ivy League school ensmartens you. Just look at George W. Bush.
Very refreshing Natalie! And Steve, she never said she was a stoner- she smokes some weed in college probably because it's everywhere in college and she was offered it at parties. Ideally, you stop doing drugs past the age of 25 but if you're going to get high then at least graduate to cocaine. Daniel Tosh said it best about why he would turn down weed- "Because I'm not in 7th grade and I have shit to do."
Wow she has a degree in Psychology! She must be so smart to get a degree in Psychology! It's not a worthless degree at all.
I wouldn't put down Natalie, and in all awareness, would recommend her for her honesty. The approach of stating ones past present and future behaviour is being missed here, for what it could mean, if everyone was to the same. More explicitly, by those same indiviuals that present the "side" of obstruction, whom vilify and demonize, what in essence is mild departure from accepted general behavior.Those "Individuals", whom have the most impact, also have the most to lose. Thus, corraling those on the side of Obstruction towards discussion, which could lead to acceptance, imo, is the only way to..acceptance. Defeating ignorance, in all it's proclaiming outlets, would seem to be the only way forward, going againstthose with unlimited resources. I would recommend a full background investigation on the "obstructionists. Pull the curtain back, from their own "departures" of general behavior.For example,, why aren't people not asking Obama, at each of his speeches about his lack of follow through on Medical MJ acceptance? And the other MJ concers? Why do we allow a platform to exist, based purely apoun, a candidates wishes? Why do we settle for for the Candidates to squander socialparticipation in general issues? JOBS JOBS JOBS Obama decries.. but all we get is Regulation.. which controls and misdirects the Marcket place. The people know better than any President, Representative or Judicial authority, sitting on it's high horse, hundreds or thoudsands of miles away, what creates jobs. Take the case of Hemp.So, instead of fear, belittling,, silly obtuse and sepratist commentary, think of that which helps the general awareness, stays on the topic, brings more attention to the obstructionist, not those that are not the real problem. When was the last time the Head of the DEA was publicly asked if his ideals were such, because his Son was a criminal?Or previous DEA heads, why aren't they publicly asked about their involvement in public companies making enforcement products? (revolving door)
Instead of pointing out, percieved shortcomings of "Public" Individuals (Natalie), shortcomings of Public Persons(Obstructionists )whom want absolutly no public perceptions of shortcomings should be the discussion.
Something as simple as passing out flyers at public or social events( be yea so frighted as to speak up only anonomiously on the net) would make more of a difference than those with so much to lose could make at those events or meeting they are a party.
Where will the DOJs for Ca. be next, where will Obama next present, the Obstructionists are many..are we the people, to remain the few?
Holy sweet mother of fuck, did i just read through ALL of those comments? In the 20+ish years i've been surfing the 'net, i don't think i've ever done that. And now, not one of those minutes of my life will every come back. I could be in bed sleeping or on memebase or tending crop or sleeping.
so, all these years people have been trying to teach children doing drugs isnt cool, and here is Portman saying it is...
There's bad drugs, like alcohol, heroin or crack, and then there's weed. Try not to mix up the two. Anyway, even something as innocuous as weed shouldn't be used by people until their bodies are fully developed.
You should keep the anecdotes to yourself. Natalie can whine whenever she wants. And its not like shes going to sit there and be like," oh yeah, i smoke like everyday."
Is it true that if you smoke weed, you'll turn into a fuckface just like all the supporters on here? No distrespect, it's just that I saw a bit of a pattern here. Just trying to learn a little more about these things.

You're so right Itsallmind27, I would way rather be like you. The person who is spewing out random hate speech, calling everyone who smokes weed a "fuckface". People like you are true assets to our society.

"I'm too old to smoke pot" is code for "pot smokers are little whiny bitches" ... and it's true.
Clearly we should all strive to be like Jason. Who is obviously a well adjusted, productive member of society. I wish we were all as closed minded and judgmental like you.
Natalie,I hear you. Your life now belongs to your children. Raise them well. After they have flown the nest, cannabis will be there waiting for you like a dear old friend.
Regardless of age, I love how these people are criticising her for not smoking weed. That's like saying "YOUR AN IDIOT FOR NOT ROBBING THAT BANK" or "ONLY SMART PEOPLE GET DRUNK CONSTANTLY" Seriously maybe by too old she means "grown up and matured" but hey there's no way I'll win this conversation when the whole crowd is a bunch of stoners.
Yes because if you occasionally smoke weed you might as well be constantly drunk or robbing banks.
I wish I could be more grown up and get drunk like an "average American" rather than getting high. It's so much better to cause fatal car accidents, vomit, and possibly die from alcohol poisoning than it is to eat junk food, get a dry mouth, and fall asleep.
How I love the brainwashed masses who blindly believe weed is evil while a far worse drug (alcohol) is sold on nearly every corner in America. How can people continually ignore the fact that there are over 20,000 alcohol related deaths in America every year and 0 marijuana related deaths?
Here is a direct message to the above poster "First NamedfaddsdasdfsF". Everything your mommy tells you isn't true. Go online and do some real research on alcohol and marijuana. Read about the REAL side effects of both. Also go learn about prohibition in America. In short it was a time when alcohol was illegal in America and so its sale was done illegally and people purchased it from shady sources such as the mob. (kinda similar to marijuana prohibition today isn't it)
@BChappell35: The intelligent portion of society doesn't say stupid things like that. There's a difference between drug usage and drug abuse. @First Namedfaggot: So, in that twisted mind of yours, smoking a joint is equivalent to robbing a bank? You're funny...
