Portman reveals that she did face discrimination or harassment while working in Hollywood.
A few days ago, Natalie Portman revealed that she has 100 stories of sexual misconduct in Hollywood and has experienced same misconduct in the movie industry many times.
Now, in an interview with Mirror, the Oscar-winning actress has recalled one terrifying encounter that she faced during her initial years of acting.
Portman has revealed that she was lured on to a private jet alone with a Hollywood producer and 'just one bed'.
She said, "I was like, yeah, why wouldn't I accept a flight on a private plane with a big group of people? And I showed up and it was just the two of us and then one bed was made on the plane."
The Black Swan star said she had 'normalized' the behaviour and spoken out after the Harvey Weinstein allegations made her realise it was 'super not ok'.
She added, "That was really unacceptable and manipulative. I was scared."
The actress, who began acting her acting career aged just 13 in 1994 film Leon: The Professional, said people would comment on her body even as a child and admitted that she normalised harassment and discrimination to the extent she did not even realise it was happening.
"I think my first reaction when I heard everybody coming out was, 'Wow, I'm so lucky that I haven't had this,'" noted Portman.
Adding, "And then, on reflection, I was like, 'OK, I definitely have never been assaulted. But I've had discrimination or harassment on almost everything I've ever worked on in some way."
The Thor star also shared that the Weinstein scandal will change Hollywood for good. She said, "There are so many things that we took for granted as part of our world. A lot of things that we just kind of put up with for reasons of maybe just being numb to it. But if you spent all your time reporting what was going on, that's all you would do as it's so pervasive. And yeah, it gets so built into the power struggles in every industry."
More than 50 women have accused Harvey Weinstein of sex abuse. Claims of harassment have also been made against actor Kevin Spacey, who apologised over one incident.
Sylvester Stallone and Ed Westwick have both vehemently denied claims made against them and Dustin Hoffman said of an allegation of harassment, "It is not reflective of who I am."
