Seems counter-intuitive as an actor, to not want to act the part of something because it would be weird, but that's her prerogative. Still, I would have thought it would be just as weird to play a stripper or a astrophysicist when you're not one.

In that case, I think it would be best if she retires because mommy roles is probably all she's gonna get when she reaches a certain age.

It's weird to play the mother of another child? Isn't it weird to play the wife of another husband? Or sex scenes with him?
It's called acting. That's what you are supposed to do when you're an actress: Act.

Didn't she play the mother of two children in Jackie? I was about to say.... I think what she meant to say was that she refuses to play a part where the only function of her character within the plot of the film is the mother of a child. Maybe? Such an odd comment to make considering her recent roles. |

Such an odd comment to make considering her recent roles. Yes, I think this makes the most sense. She never actually says that she refuses to play a mom in the actual interview, but that she feels weird playing a mom to other kids. So I'm guessing that it was supposed to sound deep that she'd rather do roles that are out there like an astronaut or a pop star but just came across sounding dumb, or maybe ibbi is correct and that it was a joke, but perhaps went over the interviewer's head or Portman is bad at telling jokes. I think it's probably the former though knowing Portman's public persona, and how she's framed in the interview. I get what she's saying if she's trying to say that she won't play a part where the function of the character is only to be a mom, but the way her quote is here, to me it makes it sound like that either she's not a good enough actress to play a mom to someone else's kid, or that she's insulting other moms because their lives apparently aren't interesting for her to portray. I don't think she meant it to come across that way unless it was a joke, so I'm guessing she thought it would make her sound all smart but backfired a little. This is the full quote that she said, |

Wow. I thought we had a real genuine connection and now I realise it was all just pretend
Should have played Emma Stone's daughter instead.

Well the decision itself actually makes sense ... wanting to avoid typecasting, I can respect. It’s her reasoning that’s just bizarre and nonsensical.

lol wtf @ this thread; it's just a personal preference in how you perform, no different than saying "i don't like how synthesizers sound in my songs" or w/e

A smart decision. Don’t let yourself get typecasted in mom roles, you go girl!

I love Natalie but she's said some weird stuff lately. She's not a astronaut, pop star, First Lady, ballerina, or intergalactic senator either and she's played all of those things before because that's what you do when you're an actor.
Is she really saying she'd turn down Jackie today because she would be playing a mom in it? Maybe it was a joke that just doesn't land right in print.
