Watch: Natalie Portman Won't Let Her Son See The STAR WARS Prequels
Natalie Portman doesn't want to show her 5-year-old son the Star Wars prequels because she's afraid it might traumatize him. No, this isn't a fear of the Emperor, the dark side, or even young Anakin's bad acting...her reason is completely unique and only specific for her child.
She doesn't want her son to see her die.
It must be strange being the child of a famous actor or actress because I would imagine all celebrities have to breach topics like these with their children. You think Tom Hardy wants his kids to see his golden wiener in Bronson? Does Kate Winslet let her children watch her get drawn by Leo in Titanic?
You know it has to happen eventually. I would imagine a lot of these kids get tired of their friends mentioning the movies that their parents are known for and wondering why they've never seen it themselves. Then, BAM — scarred for life.
Portman shares her fear, and Jimmy Kimmel perhaps adds another in the video below.
