Natalie Portman: ‘Jake Gyllenhaal is Ugly’
NATALIE Portman says Jake Gyllenhaal would be the perfect catch — if he wasn’t “ugly”!
The actress — who stars opposite the Brokeback Mountain actor in new war drama Brothers — joked that Gyllenhaal, who’s currently dating actress Reese Witherspoon, doesn’t cut it in the looks department.
“He plays guitar and has a great voice,” Portman said. “Kids and dogs love him. He loves his mom and sister and girlfriend.”
“He’s perfect… too bad he’s ugly.”
Portman, 28, recently admitted she still feels uneasy about stripping off in front of the camera.
She told America’s V Magazine that she struggled with the decision to appear nude at the start of her career, and even asked filmmakers to rewrite a scene in her 1999 movie Anywhere But Here because she felt uneasy about baring all.
“I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it’s weird to be doing stuff on film as you’re figuring it out,” she said. “Also being a sexual object when you’re a kid is really uncomfortable. After The Professional, I was already getting creepy letters.”
“It’s annoying because online bulls**t interferes with what I want to do artistically,” Portman added. “I’m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I’m very opposed to pornography sites and you’re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that. It’s always a big dilemma for me.”

Is this for real? How could she say that when she looks like a member of the Lollipop Guild. I’m not saying he’s the hottest many alive, but to say he’s ugly. She must have been saying that in a joking manner. A celeb that’s famous for saying things like that is John Mayer. You totally know he’s kidding if you see/hear him say it, but surely his sarcastic/humorous remarks don’t translate well when written.
Yes, Natalie doesn’t want to help out porn sites on the internet, but she has absolutely no problem helping out a child rapist. TO those of you who don’t know, good old Nat signed a petition calling for Roman “child molestor” Polanski to be released. Yes, the same Polanski who drugged a 13 year old girl with part of a quinine pill, and raped her anally, orally, and vaginaly, all while she said “No! Stop! Stay Away!” Of course Portman also likens those of us who eat meat to rape. She said in a Huffington Post article, “If we don’t tolerate rape, why do we tolerate meat?” The reason is, dear Nat, is because God gave the animals of the earth to humans to consume for food, THAT’S why! Since you’re a Jew, like me, I guess that means you believe in the bible. If eating meat is wrong, I guess you and others like you think God made a bad call! Wow! I wouldn’t want to be you on Judgement Day, honey. But then, why should anyone expect any better from someone who is asking for a child molestor, who never served any time for his crime, to be free. Natalie, I think you’re sick, so is Harrison Ford, and all the rest of your ilkish friends who damned your names by signing that immoral petition! You don’t have any moral gravity, nothing keeps your head out of the clouds and grounded. From hereon, I shall boycott all your movies. I can’t give my hard-earned money to someone who supports a child molestor. I guess we all know what Roman Polanski will be doing this Thanksgiving, if he gets out. Not stuffing a turkey. Probably stuffing another 13 year old. Natalie will probably be sitting by, joyfully laughing. Sick bitch!
Oh! BTW, Natalie says she might run for elected office when she’s “too ugly for Hollywood.” Based on her true, but mean comments about Jake G, and her name on that petition to free Roman Polanski, I think it’s safe to say that we can expect her name on a state ballot for some office in 2010, right?
I think she is one of the most beautiful actresses in Hollywood. People are just overreacting to her comment, but it’s really no big deal.
No big deal? If you’re talking about her comment about Jake G, I’d agree with you. I think he’s ugly, too, but he’s not MY friend, and I’d never say anything like that about a friend of mine, let alone in a magazine article. The Polanski thing, that’s different. It’s not a difference in values. It makes me wonder if she HAS any values. I thought she was better than that. I used to consider her a great actress. Now, I just consider her a supporter of a child molestor.
I actually meant to say that it’s not JUST a difference in values. Definately, there is a BIG difference in our values.
“Meanwhile, Polanski’s victim, Samantha Geimer, long ago announced that she had forgiven the filmmaker for his transgressions and supported various efforts to have the case against him dismissed.”
Enough said. Not any of our business. Have an opinion. Get over it she did and she went throught it! Again NUFF SAID!
Joey Jay, the victim doesn’t decide what the legalities of a crime are. That’s our judicial system. Got it? If you murder someone, it doesn’t matter how forgiving their family might be. The crime was still done, just like the child rape was done! Justice should be tossed upon the perpetrator. Got it, yet?! It might weigh in Roman “child molestor” Polanski’s favor that Samantha just wants the case to be dropped, especially after he paid her, but he should still be tried. Unless, of course, he’s going to run away again! What about that don’t you get? Is it because you like RP’s movies, and so he should be allowed to go free? Is it because it was done just so long ago? I believe that, regardless of a crime’s age, a wrong should be righted! So, knock off your loony crap that because the victim isn’t supporting the judicial aspects of what happened, RP should go free. A jury of RP’s peers will decide that. Not You, Samantha, those loony celebs, or anyone else! Stop sucking the helium of immorality and gain some moral gravity, pal!
Its shocking to hear a comment like that come out of one the most beautiful ladies of hollywood. But I think Natalie was not being mean, she was just being honest. The truth hurts, and to say Jake Gyllenhaal is remotely handsome, I feel I would be telling the biggest lie.
Jake is adorable and too good a person to be a movie actor, but he’s a damn good one. What a mean thing to say, but then look at who’s saying it. How arrogant.
You people need to get a grip–getting way too wrapped up in the stars lives. She was joking, I saw the live clip when she was saying this. As for the Roman Polanski petition, if that is indeed true, I am disappointed in her and in any others that may have signed it. However, my opinion has always been and still is…the stars are merely entertainment. I don’t let their opinions influence me one way or the other.
Oh no she didn’t. Jake is superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr HOT! She’s just jealous CUZ she is UGLY!
She has a right to her opinion, but I’m sure there are people out there who don’t think she is particularly attractive. Not everyone sees the same thing when they look at a person. When people make nasty unwarranted comments like that about someone else, any shred of beauty they may have completely disintegrates, in my opinion.
you know maybe just maybe… she was being facetious – geez people take a chill pill.
Are you all frigging idiots? Did no one read the story? She “joked” about his looks. (See paragraph two.) By the way, a Harvard educated woman with the experience of Portman, does not seriously call another actor ugly. She’s way too smart and sober for that.
Jake is so hot i’ll take him. What is up?
WELL, JAKE MAY BE,AS YOU SAY, UGLY,BUT THAT’S ONLY YOUR OPINION,WHICH YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO, BUT JAKE IS A FANTASTIC ACTOR,AND I THINK HE AND HEATH BOTH SHOULD HAVE WON OSCARS FOR BROKEBACK,THEIR ACTING IN IT WAS SUPERB.BESIDES ALL THAT THO,JAKE ,I THINK, IS JUST AN ALL AROUND GOOD GUY,AND HE OBVIOUSLY ADORES REESE. I HOPE SHE DOESN’T REALIZE WHAT SHE HAS WHEN IT’S TOO LATE, HE’S NOT GOING TO WAIT AROUND FOREVER, I IMAGINE HE WANTS KIDS OF HIS OWN.
He’s hot all the way around. And a great guy in person. And a good actor on his way to be a great actor. Sounds to me like Ms. Portman has issues with her sexuality and men period.
Sarcasm. Look it up. She is saying that he is perfect.
come on guys she was joking! It was a joke! get over it….
I usually stay away from a lot of news due to a lot of it being construed unclearly or bias by underlying media agendas, but unless you’ve seen the clip, don’t go in half-cocked spewing obcenities. In regards to Chris Liberty agenda, how do you know you have the full picture? Isn’t that what the court is to present and place judgement on? Rarely are people privy to such details to what is happening, and if they are, that proximity may place that person squarely on one side, without seeing the other. I’m not making a call on this, he maybe guilty or may not… and Samantha is involved in this case and rightly puts her within her rights to propose a dismissal. Just hope those investigating find the true reason behind and proceed accordingly. You have to realize to, that RP is friends with those… friends of which do just that, support and believe their friend. I’d like to believe my close friends would be honest with me. Not to say in this day and age that sometimes face value is rare and noone should just take their word.
