Natalie Portman Was Never The Same After Star Wars

Global fame she wasn't prepared for, directors who wouldn't hire her, and an overwhelming critical backlash. Natalie Portman's life definitely changed after she appeared in the "Star Wars" prequels — but not all of it was good.

What has been your favorite role by Natalie Portman?

[Jamal-blyh]

Not Surprised That Natalie Portman Wasn't the same after Star Wars fictional media has that kinda power heck I wasn't the same after Fox Action series 24 but I watched It 5 years after 9/11 so that's on me

[markrussell]

She was amazing in star wars attack of the clones and the revenge of the sith and the phantom meance loved them all 👍🏻👍🏻

[spookerredmenace]

wow she was only 14 in the first star wars? how old was she in Leon? 10? loved her SNL raps, too funny

“A surprising percentage of Star Wars fans have come to view the Prequels as the best of the 3 trilogies” . . . well, since any number greater than 1 would be considered unbelievable, I guess that’s an accurate statement.

This has to be AI Narration, because no human alive could deliver that line without breaking into hysterical laughter.

With all the Star Wars royalty with that kind of money I wouldn’t be living my simple peasant life neither.

[Jimbo-hm]

never the same she seems the same to me

[YayoHernandez-bj]

But you really out there herself and she became popular and famous in Star Wars and I'm sure she would be awesome again if she came back as Padme Amidala. Trust me. oh, and by the way the actor who did Anakin and the actress to the Padme or great couple infection world and also in real life if they put their mind through it.

JAKE LLOYD DID NOT HAVE MENTAL ISSUES BECAUSE OF THE STAR WARS MOVIES

She was never the same after getting surgery.
As for Star Wars, Padme was a strong woman done right, as opposed to the current Hollywood garbage.
To my mind, Padme remains her best (in any case, most likable) role to date.

[TheArthoron]

I would not go so far as to say the Prequels are considered "the best" of the series.

[broncojuan]

The prequels are still terrible. No actor should be harassed for being in a bad movie, but that doesn't make them good movies.

[lefantomer]

A lot of us weren't. Never mind why. This is what happens with a "cultural phenomenon". Lucas is brilliant but proved to be a truly terrible director in the "prequels" to say nothing of the Grand Canyon size plot holes and irregularities and the ugly disdain for human (and whomever's) emotions and connection -- "attachment" -- put out by the Jedi "heroes". It took years for the fandom to finally get wise to how destructive that was -- and then the franchise did it all over again in the sequels.

[tedlogan]

She turned into a self righteous Catch yoU Next Time

[DeathCultFan]

WOW! Compare the 3 (great imho) Star Wars prequels to the drivel that are the 3 sequels!!!

[Kakki]

Now there's a star to post a video on. I mean how many Alexandra Daddario videos on the last few months now?
