In addition to being shorn, Natalie Portman is apparently a smoker. All of which really makes her look way too much like a skinhead…

Update: Welcome Farkers: Feel free to leave a comment…
hmmm, she smokes BUT wears her seatbelt…
I never liked her when she was all neat and clean. But now she’s badass and I dig it.
real life is glamorous
oh well, so do millions of other non-celebrities. woop dee damn do. i dont burst a vein every time i see someone drink a beer or eat a hamburger, why is this any different?
move along people, nothing to see here.
Yes, but does she also look great, naked and petrified, covered with hot grits?
OMG, celebrities smoke, do drugs, have nipples, and wear underwear sometimes, who would have thought..
Will someone ask her to give Peter Jennings my regards when she soon visits him.
Soon? How soon? Like, 2 days? Didn’t Mr. Jennings say he was a smoker for most of his life: i.e. since Ms. Portman’s parents were kids?
Make no mistake - smoking cigarettes DOES increase your risk of getting cancer, emphysema, heart attacks, strokes, wrinkled skin, raspy voice, unwanted attention from certain fanatics - but not right away.
You know, calling an Israeli citizen a skinhead is in rather poor taste.
Is that really here? well she’s done with star wars so i guess she had nothing better to do. DANG IT SHE MADE ME HATE HER. somehow i think thats not her
Thank you to this site, and also fark…now I know that she really is the nasty little thing I expected she’d be. Anyone that ingrained into the Star Wars ethos is gonna end up stinky and unattractive…too bad, she was “Smokin” in Closer
She shaved her head for a new movie, V for Vendetta. As for the smoking, whatever, I’d hit it. BTW she went to my high school. Real last name is Herschlag (sot sure of spelling).
She could be doing it for a (gasp) job too.
I haveta agree - sexy in a punk way.
She’s smoked in a few of movies she’s been in.
This is hardly news. Unless you think she was just “acting” smoking….there is hardly an actor/ess out there who smokes only for a role. In fact, once they smoke for a role, if they weren’t a smoker before, they usually end up hooked. Just like normal, non-godly non-celebs who try smoking and can’t stop.
fark rules!!!
I don’t really care if she smokes, but bald? No thanks.
Natalie Portman can be my Oi! girl anytime. Now we just need to get her a Freddy and some Doc’s. She’s hotter now then ever.
BTW, not all skinheads are racist.
“In fact, once they smoke for a role, if they weren’t a smoker before, they usually end up hooked. Just like normal, non-godly non-celebs who try smoking and can’t stop.”
Are you serious? Do you think smoking for a role results in addiction? There are people who smoke on and off and quit, and others who just can’t quit. Its like food, drugs, sex, etc. Some people can control it, others can’t.
One photo of her smoking and she’s an addicted smoker?
we all know she shaved her head for an upcoming movie. is is possible that this is a photo of a scene? ie her character is a smoker?
Actually if you look at the way she holds the cig, it appears that it is something new to her sort of a novelty. Giver her a cigar and a tatoo, then she will be sexy!
Well at least she wears her seat belt.
This is the most important news Ever! She still doesn’t poop, however.
She looks more white trash than Brintney Spears does now…
I think it’s hot. I’m kind of sick of every celebrity chick looking exactly the same. Nice to see some personality.
Cigarette, bald? What cigarette? All I see is the black bra peeking out in the first pic. Still hot.
I’d still take her!…Actually I kinda like it!
“Are you serious? Do you think smoking for a role results in addiction? There are people who smoke on and off and quit, and others who just can’t quit …”
Yes, many actors have said this, including Vince Vaughn and Naomi Watts — both of whom became smokers for a time because of a part that each took that required it.
Smoking addicts because nicotine, a plant toxin, mimics acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter that regulates the flow of many brain chemicals like dopamine, serotonin and adrenaline. For a while smoking “greases the wheels” of the brain’s feel-good chemicals. This is why people become habituated to it.
Overtime, however, the brain increasingly desensitizes itself to acetylcholine in an effort to rebalance away what it wrongly inteprets as a problematic excess of its own production. This leaves smokers dependent on the artificial supplementation of smoking to feel normal, to keep acetylcholine at the “right” level. Without nicotine in their system, smokers begin to feel irritable, anxious, tired and depressed because their desensitized brain ends up choking off the flow of their own “feel-good” chemicals.
Smoking to the uninformed smoker seems to “cure” their negative mood states, which they wrongly attribute to outside stress, etc., not to nicotine withdraw, so smokers unwittingly become both physiologically and psychologically dependent — this is addiction.
The nicotine from a cigarette only lasts in a smoker’s body for about an hour and a half, so addicted smokers become condemned to light up continually every day to avoid withdraw symptoms; most do this till the accumulation of the the 63 known deadly chemicals in tobacco smoke kills them several decades later. (A pack a day smoker smokes 7300 cigarettes a year. Multiply that times 30 years!)
70% of smokers make an attempt to quit each year; most fail - partly because they do not understand what is causing their withdraw symptoms and the cigarette become too comforting to do without.
In a survey, which I believed was conducted by Philip Morris, some 85% of smokers said that they wish they had never started.
In short, kids, don’t be a idiot like Natalie Portman.
Wow, what he said.
PS, didja check the link…you know the part where it showed her in real life, candid shots, smoking?
Probably just rehearsing for a role, right?
i love to see her smoking
but id rather she didnt get her hair cut
hmmm….wonder if she swallows?
Great Shot!
Way too obvious.
Applying rules of logic.
Deduction my dear.
A fiasco.
Republican sponsored trickery.
she is jewish
I know this is a rather late comment, but I wanted to point out that there are a few actresses I’ve heard of who say they smoked herbal cigs for a role. I really see no reason to smoke a real cig for a movie/tv role if you don’t smoke to begin with, but I’m not an actress either.
And I think the reason why images like this are a big deal is because, from what I have heard, Natalie has stated in the past that she doesn’t like smoking. Kirsten Dunst has said the same thing (2nd hand information here so I *could* be wrong) yet I’ve seen pictures of her smoking in public as well. So if these ladies are so against it, why do they do it? It’s their right to smoke of course, but it’s stupid to knock a habit and then try it
who cares?!i think she is succesfull and beautiful actress.and lot of celebrity use drugs or addict alcohol.cigarrete is too innocent if u think.
very very nice ..and very very hot
woah, she’s a straight up beatnik. i never knew she smoked. those don’t look like the typical paparazzi photos.
