Natalie Portman Tired of Stripper Scripts  2/13/08

Natalie Portman is sick of picking up scripts in which her character plays a stripper or a prostitute.

The Star Wars star is on the hunt for a good romantic comedy but Hollywood just wants her to play hookers - like she did in Closer.

She says, "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.

"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.

"I would also love to do a romantic comedy, where the woman has a real job."
