A week after the arrival of Lætitia Casta on the set of 8:30 p.m. Sundayit was the turn of Natalie Portman
to grant an interview to Laurent Delahousse. Guest of the famous journalist this Sunday, January 21, 2024, the 42-year-old Israeli-American actress spoke at length about her career in the 7th art. Taking advantage of the star’s presence in his show, Alice Taglioni’s companion also dared to ask a more political question concerning the israelo-Palestinian conflict. A question to which Benjamin Millepied’s ex-wife did not wish to answer.
“I don’t think this is the place to talk about it.“, she said, visibly embarrassed. A reaction which sparked strong reactions. “Interviewed by Laurent Delahousse on Sunday evening, Natalie Portman, a talented and cultured Jewish actress, touched on the Palestinian question. She clearly wanted to preserve her career, but still indirectly revealed her position,” notably analyzed an Internet user. And another to add: “Natalie Portman was pitifully stupid in front of Delahousse last night when she was questioned about the Hamas/Israel conflict.”
