Nah. Not creepy. Seeing Beautiful Girls and The Professional images just brings back memories of when I initially fell in crush at thirteen. I remember her character in the former saying that when she gets older, she's going to be "hot".

Well, she was right.

Everyone was a child at one time. You can't make me regret my attraction to Natalie. I do, however, regret that I now have "Recycle it, reuse it" stuck in my head.

Let's do one for Tina Yothers.

All we need now is a descending slide whistle sound effect played over the top.

This just in: Attractive people were once children. Scientists say that society's lust objects are, in fact, not fuckable at birth and must instead age from infancy through childhood and adolescence to reach what they call "sexual maturity" before it would be socially acceptable to imagine them naked and sucking a lollipop.

RE: No Strings Attached photo.

She looks like that cooking show host, whose name I can't pronounce.

Congratulations. Mission accomplished, despite the fact that I was about thirteen when I saw episode one and started crushing on Natalie Portman hardcore. I feel creepy looking at pictures of her when she's like 14 and realizing, "damn, she's still totally beautiful 16 year later."

Excuse me while I go register. Thanks a lot.

Wait wait wait.
Does this mean that Christiana Hendrix was once a flat-chested little girl?
I don't believe it.

Posted by: superasente at June 9, 2011 12:07 PM

Nuh-uh. You're not making me feel weird considering how young I was when I first fell into the love I am still in with her circa that first movie. Longest barely-requited love of my life.

I mentally Benjamin Button that 'About a Boy' kid whenever his smoldering self pop up. During his scenes in 'A Single Man', I half expected Hugh Grant to show up and get into a slap fight with Colin Firth.

BWeaves! Giada De Laurentiis!

Dude, I had a crush on her when she did The Professional. She IS less than a year older than me. So...I'm not at all ashamed.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at June 9, 2011 12:33 PM

I agree with Deist (what the fuck is wrong with me). The age gap is to close for me to be creeped out at all. Also, I'm a creep. I'm also A weirdo. What the hell am I doing here?

Posted by: admin at June 9, 2011 12:41 PM

I think the bigger revelation is that Natalie Portman has been in a lot of shitty movies.

Posted by: Fredo at June 9, 2011 12:47 PM

Is she photographed from a weird angle in that No Strings Attached poster or did they photoshop the hell out of her waistline? It looks like there's a chunk of her missing under the title.

Posted by: MelBivDevoe at June 9, 2011 1:09 PM

Didn't realize she was the girl in Heat

Posted by: Riles at June 9, 2011 1:16 PM

They did take a whole chunk of her out of that No Strings Attached poster. She's already skinny, wtf...I didn't know she was the girl in Heat nor did I notice. She was the best in The Professional, over time she's been less and less memorable as an actress. Not bad in Black Swan though, I'll give her that.

Posted by: Gig at June 9, 2011 1:26 PM

The only real effect of this for me was to wonder if Your Highness might actually be worth watching.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at June 9, 2011 1:29 PM

I initially fell in crush at thirteen

If you mean that you were thirteen, well...you'll never know how unsettling "Beautiful Girls" was.

Posted by: Jay at June 9, 2011 1:52 PM

@Jay: I've seen it since, and I understand it. But at the time, all I could think was, Man, I wish a girl looked at me the way she looks at Timothy Hutton. Do you never revisit movies you watched when you were younger?

@Darth: It isn't. That scene is like a minute long, and that shot is about a second. At most. That image above is the best part of the whole ungodly thing.

Posted by: RobP at June 9, 2011 2:49 PM

Thought I'd heard somewhere that "circa goya's ghost" photo of her lying on the rug is a fake, and doing a quick search for "natalie portman nude rug photoshop", this page seems to confirm it's photoshopped.

Posted by: Jesse M. at June 9, 2011 4:18 PM

Why on earth would you need to photoshop Natalie Portman? And really, isn't the focus of her charm the breathtakingly beautiful face? Or am I missing the point?

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at June 9, 2011 5:00 PM

And she was fabulous in Heat.

After all of the Henry Hanrahan videos that HuffPost put up without crediting Pajiba, now comes this, posted today:

Coincidence?

Posted by: Riles at June 9, 2011 5:38 PM

Let us never forget she has gotten everything she has in life because she was beautiful and always has been.

Posted by: stump at June 9, 2011 6:24 PM

Creepy? no, a bit tingly otherwise.

Posted by: clancys_daddy at June 9, 2011 6:55 PM

wow. natalie looks 8000x better than scarho(freudian slip not changing it) on tht magazine cover. obviously i know natalie is waaaay prettier than her but just so blatant and apparent its shocking.

Posted by: anna at June 10, 2011 7:54 PM

I'm pretty sure that "circa Thor" photo is at least 5 years old. I remember seeing it in a magazine a long time ago.
