Natalie Portman Walks with Whiz

Natalie Portman shields her face from photographers as she takes her pup, Whiz, for a walk on Wednesday (April 27) in New York City.

The 29-year-old pregnant actress wore a screen printed tee reading “Out of the mud, a lotus grows”.

Earlier in the week, Nat was spotted out walking with a friend in NYC’s Tribeca.

Nat recently shared that she was glad to work on her latest movie, Thor, after the intense experience of working on Black Swan.

“It probably delayed the onset of a total breakdown from the efforts of doing Black Swan, which is going to hit at any moment,” Nat told The Sun. “We got nice long breaks and I got to read in my trailer which was very comfortable and has a bed. I could eat whenever I wanted and train whenever I felt like it.”
