Actress Natalie Portman has had enough of scripts in which the
only role for her is that of either a stripper or a prostitute.
The 26-year-old is now looking for a good romantic comedy but it
seems that Hollywood just wants her to play hookers, like she did
in "Closer."
"I have recently been getting frustrated with the number of
roles for strippers or prostitutes I get - or the opposite, the
pure one. That dichotomy exists so strongly," Contactmusic quoted
her as saying.
The "Star Wars" actress said that she was sick of getting roles
just on the extremes of good and bad.
"It's the virgin/whore thing in evidence to the greatest extent.
That's bothering me. I want to find a character who is complicated.
I also love comedies, but every time I read a comedy, the girl is
in fashion and really into clothes and just wants to get married,"
she said.
She added: "I would also love to do a romantic comedy, where the
woman has a real job."
