Natalie Portman longs for public kiss

The actress has received high praise for her role as a ballerina in movie Black Swan, which is expected to win her an Oscar nomination. Natalie still finds it strange when she is approached by fans on the street as she doesn’t think of herself as being famous, and sometimes she wishes she could go incognito.

There are certain things she wouldn’t dream of doing now she is well known in case they caused a stir, and she longs for the days when she could be carefree.

“I would make out in the park!” she replied, when asked what she’d do if she could be anonymous for a day. “That's the thing I would most enjoy doing in New York, and it's something I'll never do.

“I'd also have loud, public conversations with my friends about personal things. Even if no one is paying attention – and most of the time, no one cares – you never know who is at the next table.”

Natalie recently confirmed she is expecting her first child with her fiancé Benjamin Millepied, who she met while shooting Black Swan. She can’t wait to be a mother, admitting all she wants from her future is to be in a loving relationship “with children”.

The 29-year-old didn’t talk about Benjamin in the interview, although she did discuss what she wants from a partner.

“I look for all the same things I would in a friend,” she told the February issue of InStyle magazine. “Obviously, you need the sexual attraction too, so it's like your best friend who you are also really attracted to.”
