After acting for nearly 30 years, Natalie Portman<\/strong> has one very important rule about the roles she accepts, and it involves her two children.<\/p>\n

The Star Wars<\/em> franchise star, 42, appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show<\/a><\/em> on Tuesday, December 5, and during a round of \u201cPop Quiz,\u201d she read a card that asked her to name \u201cone thing you\u2019d never do for a role.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Portman commented, \u201cThat\u2019s a good one,\u201d she responded. \u201cUm \u2026 show my boobs? Is that really prude?\u201d<\/p>\n

Barrymore<\/strong>, 48, immediately interjected, \u201cNo, it\u2019s not!\u201d Then Portman explained her answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just always like, \u2018I don\u2019t want my kids to see pictures online,’\u201d continued the Oscar winner, who shares son Aleph, 12, and daughter Amalia, 6, with estranged husband Benjamin Millepied.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know there\u2019d be an \u2018online\u2019 when I did it,\u201d replied Barrymore, whose first topless scene was in the 1993 film Doppelganger<\/em> when she was 18.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Good luck finding that magazine under some weird guy\u2019s bed in some random house!’\u201d Barrymore joked. \u201cBut no judgment, darlings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both Portman and Barrymore began their acting careers as children. Portman\u2019s first role was as the star of 1994 film Leon: The Professional<\/em> when she was 13 years old. The next year, she appeared in Heat<\/em> with Robert De Niro<\/strong> and Al Pacino.<\/strong> She worked regularly in her youth, but don\u2019t expect to see her own kids following in her footsteps as child entertainers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would not encourage young people to go into this. I don\u2019t mean ever; I mean as children,\u201d Portman said on Variety\u2019s Awards Circuit Podcast<\/em> on November 23.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel it was almost an accident of luck that I was not harmed, also combined with very overprotective, wonderful parents,\u201d she added.<\/a> \u201cYou don\u2019t like it when you\u2019re a kid, and you\u2019re grateful for it when you\u2019re an adult.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the 2018 Women\u2019s March in Los Angeles, Portman expressed how the success of Leon: The Professional<\/em> drew unwanted attention to her sexuality at a young age.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was so excited at 13 when the film was released, and my work and my art would have a human response. I excitedly opened my first fan mail to read a rape fantasy that a man had written me,\u201d Portman said at the time. \u201cA countdown was started on my local radio show to my 18th birthday, euphemistically the date that I would be legal to sleep with. Movie reviewers talked about my budding breasts in reviews.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Portman says conditions for child actors have improved, she is firm about not wanting her kids to act while they are growing up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve heard too many bad stories to think that any children should be part of it,\u201d Portman said. \u201cHaving said that, I know all the conversations that we\u2019ve been having these past few years. It\u2019s made people more aware and careful. But ultimately, I don\u2019t believe that kids should work. I think kids should play and go to school.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
