The Razor Sharp Dreams of Natalie Portman

Portman: I was glad to shave my head

So what do gorgeous young actresses secretly dream of? Shaving their heads...At least that was the secret wish of Natalie Portman according to her when she was asked about shaving her head for 'V for Vendetta.'

She said that she can "usually blend in" walking down the street. OK, maybe more than when you have your head shaved, Natalie, but I doubt you know what it's like to "blend in." Even if you hadn't been the star of several hit movies (which you are), you're still a beautiful young woman and even "nobody" beautiful women don't "blend in."

I've always liked Natalie Portman, but it's sometimes funny to hear celebrities talk about being "normal" and "blending in" - as if they truly have a concept of what that means. She's been in the movies since before puberty, so it would be more surprising than not if her concept of "normal" wasn't a bit skewed...
