Natalie Portman graces the April issue of British Marie Claire magazine.

Inside the mag, 26-year-old self-admitted smarty pants dishes on why she’s happy to be labelled an “intellectual actress.”

Talented actress Natalie Portman is tired of stripper and prostitute scripts coming her way.

The 26-year-old beauty is hoping for a romantic comedy role but knows the odds are not very good.

“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,” Natalie Portman said.

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.”

The Other Boleyn Girl may have been panned by critics, but it seems co-stars Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson have discovered other ways of pulling in audiences.

The stunning duo, attending the Berlin premiere of the film, shared more than just a giggle - as they took a moment to exchange a steamy kiss - while posing for pictures on the red carpet.

The Hollywood sirens have obviously cultivated a close friendship since playing sisters on screen and were not afraid to show it as Natalie, 26, leaned in to lock lips with the blonde bombshell.

Scarlett, 23, looked more than happy to be the object of Natalie’s affections, showing off her cleavage in a 50’s inspired fuscia-coloured dress, while the brunette opted for an equally sexy black lace number.

Perhaps Natalie’s bold move came as an attempt to change the public’s perception after recently proclaiming herself as “boring”.

The 26-year old actress Natalie Portman not only portrays incredible characters on screen (nevermind the speed bump that was the Star Wars prequels) but also uses her power off-screen to support and promote some incredible campaigns and initiatives. The UK Observer Magazine recently sat down with the star — over a veggie lunch and tap water — to discuss her career and passion for giving back. Here are some highlights:

On not being a vegan and recycling clothing:
“She’s not a vegan, though she has been trying to phase out eggs. ‘But I don’t think I could do it. It’s really hard for traveling, especially if you want to maintain your protein levels.’ She refuses to wear leather, but will wear wool. ‘Although I don’t think I have a lot of wool clothes. And I sort of made a no-buying-anything-new rule. I just have a lot of stuff,’ she says with a tiny pout. ‘And I figured: look, if I need something, if my running shoes have holes in them and I don’t have running shoes any more, then I’ll get new ones. But you know, I have 40 T-shirts, I have 20 pairs of jeans - you get so forced into believing [that you need all this stuff]. Maybe it’s a New York thing.’”

On selecting FINCA as her charity of choice:
“‘Well, yeah, because I wanna do something meaningful. They ask you to do 4,000 charity things a year and all of them are worthy. But I don’t think you can really make an impact unless you do [just] one thing and really devote yourself. And it’s been important to me.’”

On the environment:
‘There’s this book I love called The Future of Life by EO Wilson, about the environment. It’s basically aimed at business people who just think about infinite possibilities, infinite expansion - but the earth is limited! It’s very short term to think we can just accumulate and make as much as we can. If you wanna think longer-term economically, there are better ways.’

Hotel Chevalier may have been a hit with the critics but the film has received most attention for featuring Natalie Portman’s first ever fully nude scene.

The film was intended to be shown before The Darjeeling Limited as a prequel to the movie, however it is being made available free online as part of a viral marketing campaign.

Natalie and co-star Jason Schwartzman spend a majority of Wes Anderson’s ten minute-long short getting hot ‘n’ heavy in a hotel room.
