The protagonist of the latest trilogy of Star Wars and V for Vendetta regrets not having said "no" to that scene in which she appears as God brought her into the world in the already famous short film 'Hotel Chevalier' by Wes Anderson.
A regret that comes too late, since the actress's first N- has become one of the most searched-for and downloaded videos on the Internet.
"I really regret not having followed my intuition. From now on I am going to believe more in it," the actress said in statements, in which she also points out that sometimes things "The most powerful thing you can say is 'no'.
Some statements that are in total contradiction with what she said a few days ago when asked about this same scene. "Sometimes you make your own rules, and sometimes you have to break them to feel good," said Portman, who with this scene broke her puritanical reputation.
A reputation that was earned after she used a double for the scenes in Goya's Ghosts -and proclaimed it to the four winds to prevent anyone from thinking it was her- and in Closer she forced the elimination of some scenes of the final cut because, in his opinion, it taught too much.
The controversial N- appears in Wes Anderson's (The Life Aquatic) short film Hotel Chevalier in which Portman stars opposite Jason Schwartzman.
A short that Anderson screens before his latest film, The Darjeeling Limited, which will be released in Spain in January of next year.
In fact, the short, barely twelve minutes long, is a kind of prologue to the story that later develops in the feature film, in which the now repentant Portman does not appear.
