    Actress Natalie Portman ordered director Mike Nichols to remove her full frontal nude scenes from her latest movie Closer - despite playing a stripper in the film. Nichols is very protective of the 23-year-old beauty and agreed the topless footage was acceptable, but decided raunchy shots of her fully nude were gratuitous and should be deleted from the drama. Portman explains, "He wants to see my bare ass much less than (even) my father would. He's as or more protective of me than my parents are. So doing sexual, physical stuff for him felt very uncomfortable."

    Guess you male fans arent gonna be to happy about this one ;)

    Why does everyone ignore that KEY part of the article?

    So, he's so protective that he let her shoot the scene? Good grief, Natalie, if you didn't want to do the scenes, don't shoot them in the first place.

    The hell? This sounds extremely, utterly made up to me. NP.com has been bouncing around with joy over the possibility of a shot suggesting the character is topless in the context of the scene. I cannot see Miss Portman ever agreeing to shoot "full frontal nudity" whether she expected it to be included in the final film or not.

    Plus she's a minor-to-medium character, why would the director be so "protective" of her? Heck, if he's so protective, why sign her up for a pole-dancing-stripper role anyway?

    Gah. This is what history essays do to you. Make you assassinate your sources.

    Yeah, I quite agree.

    Especially a guy named Gregory. One that works at the grocery store down the street and who dated a girl from my calculus class. Man, that freak..

    (hehe)

    Getting a date isn't hard.

    See, logically, if you go up to a girl and ask her out, you have a 50/50 chance of a yes. It may take a few attempts and putting away the acne cream and star trek magazines (ha!) but it'll work.

    What have you got to lose? Your virginity? har.

    1. This has already been posted twice.
    2. Do you REALLY think Natalie Portman would have nude scenes in a movie?
