Natalie Portman's Awkward R-Rated Movie Moment | Letterman 

LOL thank you for this post,, i was about to post a comment asking what he was taking a jab at by that comment.

Set up by Les Moonves. Now Dave is having fun with his Late Night peeps!

no, it's how many times he shot that woman.

@@joejoe2658 Its probably too soon to joke like that? Hey its not like he'll say something stupid like the gun fired itself and then stupid people will let the rust movie PRODUCER get away with murder! Oh wait...

Interesting how millionaires rib each other about being millionaires like it's a bad thing.

Specially your famous student

I thought that too : )

Well, then probably don't recommend The Open Road to your most famous 14 year-old student?

Imagine being an open-minded teacher who absolutely loves the tag!

If you recommend Kerouac to a 9th-grader, you can't complain.

And only 14!

it's been off the charts since her turn in Leon: The Professional..2 years earlier.

It seems like a practiced phase, the way she got flirtatious in interviews in her early twenties; it does seem to me like trying on a personality, a schtick. But she does it really well, natural, composed; like a good actress.

Natalie has grownup to be one of the best actress around today.

Not like when Jayden Smith when he was young? lol.

@@moneyball647 No.

Alec was in his scrawny "Beetlejuice" stage.

Baldwin looked super young too! I didn't recognize him at first.

---------------------- if we were playing password , narrator whispers.....the word is ; precocious .....thanks4sharing

Isn't Portman a mensa member?

She was SO pleased with herself for executing that joke! ha ha ha

Yep, growing up and trying to fit in, but still have that youthful giddiness. That's something hopefully we can keep through life. Being able to be at least in that moment free to laugh unabashedly.

That's btw her quick wit, it takes some time to realise that Steven's brother is sitting right next to you, and more time to bring forth the famous Baldwin actor family, all while you're on air and people are looking at you. She did it instantly

I bet her history teacher thought differently the next day after she called him out in front of millions of people. I wonder what her grade was in that class.

@@Mr.Ekshin Depends on who you ask. History is re-written all the time to cover up that which is unfavorable. 😉

@@WW-wf8tu - I have no idea what you're even trying to say here... I literally said nothing about history.

Almost like operating a traditional household has some significant benefits despite all the hate that sort of thing gets these days.

Why assume it’s parenting and deny the kudos to the child?

@@treefrog3679 Fair. But unlikely I think.

@@treefrog3679 "Acting since she was a child and she still has her head on straight." = Kudos to the child.

How the hell can you tell that from an interview, is your life that bankrupt that you gotta decide which actors are a product of good parenting? What a weird statement.

It really looks like he doesn't want to be there.. his eyes are looking off almost the entire time and when he does chime in with a joke his smile fades almost instantly and he looks away again

Alec is such a douche

He gives me the 'creeps.'

@@GJBedrin I think he wants to be there but he is being put in a position where he is on TV and if he makes one teeny tiny mistake he will be public enemy #1. I don't blame him in the least for being uncomfortable.

@@davidpowell3469 no way, you forget he cracked that joke, if it isn't me, it will be one of his brothers who gets her... that was creepy.

Harvard Degree in Psych- She definitely isn't dumb

@@firemedic10353 It doesn't matter what your IQ is when you completely lack dignity and class.

know know know know know your cuts of meat

I find Ltterman is interrupting her quite often... Wouldn't call it the top of his game.

​@@dennism.5145it is, he was just never very good

Seemed like a lot of awkward moments, and none of them on Portman's part.

people today dont have a good upbringing, thats's why they are so impressed with what should be normal.

Rarely if ever did you see Letterman at a loss for words. There was only one other time I can think of. He had some overweight baseball player (Tempted to say LaMarr Hoyt but not certain) who Dave kept poking fun of, and he came out with a sandwich and said it was the Letterman special because it had a lot tongue.

I don’t get it

@@uwusdead He was talking about Dave’s salary.

Alec was so good here.

The movie is a masterpiece, I still have it on vhs. It's very provocative with some of the scenes, especially the extended/ directors cut, while still staying somewhat charming. It also is ruinous for me to ever think that since then she grew up to be one of the most beautiful actresses alive, luckily she's quite talented and ever a sweetie.

I know the movie as The Professional

The full title is Léon: The Professional so you're both correct@@watdahel

She's funny on her Saturday Night Live appearances.

She did comedies...

watch some of her movies... try the comedies if you like comedy

Why? Can you generate electricity with teeth? What a weird thing to say!

​@@johnc3403I think he's referring to her ability to 'light up' a room.

I watched it. Boring. Any $$ or awards?

Leon is one of the greatest ever movies. All of the actors are brilliant; Oldman, Reno, Portman, Aiello, with a superb music score. Totally engrossing.

Typical liberal blather!

@@jamesprior2496 no, you putz, just a sense of humor Get some!

Yeah@@jamesprior2496 only liberals can be funny and have a sense of humor!

This would apply to all doctors …

@@stevenlittlewood4324 dave is saying there are too many human beings on planet earth! 😁

James Corden did it too.

Wonder where he learned it?

I think you meant where'd Cordon steal it? Don't worry mate, I'll say what everyone in the UK has known for years. Cheers!

@@UniversalExports23 There may have been others doing it before him but Johnny Carson was doing it for 30 years starting in the 1960's.

Graham Norton is so forced and awful. (the setup with the guests, not Graham, he's a natural).

Topics are scripted though and they are actors ;-)

@@tomamarque5817 Scripts are scripted. Topics are discussed.

On most talk shows, they have an outline of the discussion. Typically, the guests sit down with a producer and they plan together what they are going to talk about. So Natalie likely would have told that story to a producer, and Dave would be told something like "she has a funny story about watching an R rated movie" or whatever. But she wouldn't have been sitting next to Alex. So it's plausible the "one of your brothers" moment was genuine an unplanned. But it's just as likely the producer told her she was going to be going on with Alex and she said "oh, I have a story about watching a movie his brother was in" and they went from there.

She was very convincing in "The Black Swan".

Was it called The Professional in some countries? Because the movie is called 'Leon'. I've had it on DVD for years, and the cover says, "Leon the Professional", but the opening credits just say, "LEON". I watched it last night as well.

It's a french film and in France the film is called "Leon" but i think that outside french-speaking countries the film was brandes as "The Professional".

@@Maitatron In Britain it's known as _Leon_ too (well, to be precise, its original title was _Léon_ but we got it without the accent on the E, for some reason). I was hugely confused a few years ago when I started reading about her breakthrough film being something called _The Professional_ aged 14, when I was thinking, "Hang on, wasn't her breakthrough in _Leon_ at that same time...?!" -- I think it took me quite a while to realise it was the US title for the same movie! I believe Australia, for instance, 'doubled up' the titles - i.e. _Leon: The Professional_ 😄

I love her, but name one great movie?!

@@mjp96 V for Vandetta, Revenge of the Sith, Thor to name a few.

@@mjp96 V is for Vendetta

Black Swan? Oscar?

She's dead?

@@Frankincensedjb123 ?

@@sonicdiablo8968lol they always post interviews when someone dies. running joke to assume whoever they post is now dead 💀

She is a great actor . She is very smart and funny . You must also also give credit to Dave he was maybe the best talk show host ever . He could bring out the best in people . I think none of the current talk show hosts are as good as he was .Johnny Carson was maybe on a par with Letterman .

Hahahaha you think Portman is a genius???

At least he wasn't plugging The Rural Juror.

@@SESteve You mean, the Rrrrr Jrrrrr.

The juror is way better. Like way better

He never did. With any guest.

He was never a good interviewer.

Did you never watch Letterman? That's his style. Personally, I like it.

Conan, too - OMG. "I'm SO funny!!!!"

Yeah, I thought Alec would never shut up 🤣

Thanks captain wiki copy & paste.

What an honor

@@PJV1990if that was on wiki it wouldn’t have that stupid capitalisation

Exactly what I was thinking! You can tell she is intelligent, even at this young age.

@@PJV1990: So what? I wasn’t going to look it up. I was glad to get that tidbit I wouldn’t have known otherwise. You need to chill, Karen.

I audited a class at Harvard, didn't seem much different than my classes in an Ontario university. Just pricier.

From there there was Michael Mann's HEAT with both De Niro and Pacino in it, and the Star Wars prequel trilogy, which I wholeheartingly adore

​@@SuperCosty2010the point was never "she has nowhere to go from there". Saying "where does she go" is just pointing out that she's already so good that there isn't much room to improve... It's nice that you liked Star Wars but it was a definite step down in terms of how it utilised her talent. Not that she was wasted but it was a much more simple role that was mostly about her costumes. A step up in how many people saw it but as a serious actor that's not really the point.

She was exploited.

@@jamesprior2496 Stop with that nonsense, she was there with full parental consent, they went through every scene and line. The madonna part, and the restaurant scene, were debated for days before being green-lit.

@@jamesprior2496 clown

@@jamesprior2496 wtf do you mean at all 🤣

@@benwu7980 I believe she made a statement on how she was...

That's true.

Ya, I remember the overpopulation fears of the 90s. They never would have guessed that the first world would be headed for demographic collapse instead of overpopulation.

Hun?

It's wild how much Ryan Gosling looks like a younger version of Alec Baldwin here

I guess it was more about what was coming the way of his cast and crew members, though I think murder is a stronger than actual charge.
