Natalie Portman recently reflected on some of the regrets in her young life, and topping the list was missing out on childhood activities like making mud pies. The 26-year-old star began professional acting at 11, when she played orphan Mathilda in 'Léon'. She now regrets starting work so young because she had to grow up too quickly.
"I do kind of feel that I lost part of my childhood," the V for Vendetta star told femalefirst.co/uk. "I was one of those kids that always wanted to be older, which I now think is a shame. I try to make up for that now by being outdoors more, playing, being silly and not being afraid of that."
"I don't feel that I missed out on a normal life, but when I was a kid I wasn't out playing in the mud."
Natalie also revealed she was indulged by her parents as a child, even though they didn't have much money.
"I was a spoiled, only child in a Jewish family - very outgoing. We didn't have any money because my dad was training to be a doctor while I was growing up. So throughout my childhood it wasn't like we were poor, but there wasn't any luxurious spending."
