<\/p>\nHollywood actress Natalie Portman said she is “full of wonder and joy” after welcoming her third child.<\/p>\n
The 45-year-old gave birth to her first child with her boyfriend Tanguy Destable in Paris over the summer.<\/p>\n
During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the star said she is “full of wonder and joy at this magical little human” as she spoke about the new addition to her family.<\/p>\n
Portman added: “It gives me a whole new attention to my big kids too, as I am reminded of how recently they were these little fresh creations and how quickly they\u2019ve blossomed into incredible humans with their own amazing personalities and senses of humour and ideas.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The actress and filmmaker also has two children named Aleph and Amalia with her ex-husband, choreographer and director Benjamin Millepied.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the lack of privacy during her previous pregnancies, Portman told the magazine: “When I was pregnant in New York and LA, I was followed by 20 men every day.<\/p>\n
“There\u2019s so much interest in pregnant women in particular. I\u2019d never been bothered more.”<\/p>\n
The actress, who has lived in the French capital for the past decade, added: “And here, they know, and I\u2019ve been almost completely left alone.”<\/p>\n
Portman made her film debut aged 12 in Leon: The Professional (1994), before rising to international fame as Padme Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, beginning with Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999).<\/p>\n
Portman has also appeared in films such as Black Swan and portrayed Jane Foster in the Thor films of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).<\/p>\n
The actress discussed how “everyone thinks I\u2019m really serious” because of her history of playing intense roles in drama and thriller films.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m very silly, and I love to laugh more than anything, and I love to goof off,” she said.<\/p>\n
“People always think I\u2019m a perfectionist, I think, because of Black Swan.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m the opposite. I\u2019m forgiving with myself.”<\/p>\n
Reflecting on the current phase of her career, Portman added: “Right now, it\u2019s a lot of joy.<\/p>\n
“I think it\u2019s both for myself and what I hope to offer an audience, because it just feels\u2026 I mean, every time has dark moments, but it feels like there\u2019s a lot of really heavy stuff going on.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s just ever-present in our face, and so it does feel like the biggest service you can do right now as an artist is to deliver some joy.”<\/p>\n
