Natalie Portman Reveals Why She's Never Had Friendships in Hollywood - Until Now

Natalie Portman is on the cover of Vanity Fair‘s December 2018 issue.

Here’s what the 38-year-old Vox Lux star had to share with the mag…

On not having any truly terrible #MeToo experiences throughout her career: “I was able somehow to not have an experience like that, so it’s definitely a weird, privileged place to hold. Learning what so many women have been through and were going through right next to me…. It was completely shocking to know that they were going through that.”

On why she never had female friendships: “I’ve been working for 25 years—I’ve never had friendships in my industry until now. You’re usually the [only] girl in the movie. [Time's Up] made us come together. We’re actively gathering. Just the power of us getting to know other women in our own industry and sharing information that can help us be safer, more productive, more successful.”

On today’s political climate: “Does anyone care about anything? It’s just constant, you know? Acts of violence are put in the same breath as a pop star’s breakup! Who cares about anything anymore? Our president literally had an affair with a porn star and no one cares.”
