Natalie Portman Admits to Stoner Past

Doing press for her new role in "Your Highness," Natalie Portman has opened up about her highness.

"I smoked weed in college, but I haven't smoked in years," Portman admits to Entertainment Weekly. 

โ€œIโ€™m too old. I wish I was that cool, but Iโ€™m like an old lady now. Iโ€™m in bed by 10 p.m. I canโ€™t do that anymore.โ€

In "Your Highness," Portman plays a no-nonsense warrior who teams up with a noble prince and his stoner brother on a bizarre quest that involves perverted wizards, randy Minotaurs, and a petulant sorcerer.

A stoner comedy is an odd follow-up to an Oscar win, but there was no question Portman was all in after discussing the role with director David Gordon Green ("Pineapple Express").

โ€œWhen I sat down with David, he was like, โ€˜The girlโ€™s going to be funny here,โ€™โ€ said Portman. โ€œTo have him be able to think of me in that way was so lucky, because [the role] is a real departure from anything Iโ€™ve done on film.โ€
