Natalie Portman gained a good 20 pounds and was very depressed when attending Harvard. Natalie – who is up for Golden Globe (and probably Oscar) for her Black Swan performance – may seem untouchable, but even she’s prone to weight gain and depression.
As a freshman at Harvard, Portman tells the January issue of Vogue that she packed on a good 20 pounds.
“I gained my freshman fifteen or 20 and had superdepressed moments,” she says. “That Cambridge winter is tough. It was important to know how to go through that and how to get myself out of it. You start learning how to ask your friends or professionals for help, or go to mentors.”
While very, very slim during filming of Black Swan and during the various press junkets, Portman assures us she’s a healthy eater – of not a finicky one.
“I swear, I eat. I ate a bagel an hour ago,” she tells Vogue. “I consume my own weight in hummus every day. I cook a lot, and I even do vegan baking. I like pleasure, I like joy. I’d never get to the point where I would starve or injure myself like [my character] Nina does. I’m the opposite—when I’m hungry, I eat, and I always make sure I’m eating something delicious.”
Do you believe Natalie Portman really eats whatever she wants?
