Natalie Portman Regrets Big Screen Sex Scene 5/19/08

Actress Natalie Portman hates a sex scene she filmed for movie Hotel Chevalier - because critics and reviewers focused on her nudity and not the film itself.

The star recorded the scene last year (07), and admits she regrets stripping off on the big screen as her picture ended up on pornographic websites.

She says, "It's not that I regret the film, but it really depressed me that half of every review on the film was about the nudity. It made me think I shouldn't have done it. "I'm not prudish about nudity. I think it's beautiful in films, and sex is such a big part of life.

My issue is that I feel it takes something away from what you're doing when the focus is put on the wrong thing. My picture ended up on porn sites, and that's the dilemma."
