Portman advises against early start to film career
Oscar winner Natalie Portman ("Black Swan") advises young people not to get into the film business too early. "I don't mean in general, but as children," the 42-year-old told the industry magazine "Variety".
Portman had already experienced her breakthrough in cinema as a 13-year-old in the thriller "Leon the Professional" (1994). She feels it was almost a stroke of luck that she was not harmed. She also has her "overprotective, wonderful" parents to thank for that. The actress does not believe that children should work. "I think children should play and go to school."
