Natalie Portman<\/strong> is opening up about her early days in the industry.<\/p>\n Last week, the Thor: Love and Thunder<\/em> star stopped by Variety<\/em>\u2019s Awards Circuit Podcast<\/em>, where she expressed her gratitude for having \u201coverprotective parents\u201d as a child actor in what can sadly be a very predatory industry. She explained:<\/p>\n \u201cI would not encourage young people to go into this. I don’t mean ever; I mean as children. I feel it was almost an accident of luck that I was not harmed, also combined with very overprotective, wonderful parents.\u201d<\/p>\n What a sad concept — to be lucky to have not been \u201charmed\u201d as a child star. Absolutely chilling. The May December<\/em> star, who clearly thanks her parents, reflected on how she views their protection now, compared to how she did as a young star when she first entered the scene at 13 years old in 1994’s controversial L\u00e9on the Professional<\/em>, which sees her falling in love with a much-older hitman:<\/p>\n \u201cYou don’t like it when you’re a kid, and you’re grateful for it when you’re an adult.\u201d<\/p>\n She added that she\u2019s heard \u201ctoo many bad stories\u201d to think kids should be in the industry, and it sounds like there\u2019s no way she\u2019d let her own! She explained:<\/p>\n \u201cI know all the conversations that we’ve been having these past few years. It’s made people more aware and careful. But ultimately, I don\u2019t believe that kids should work. I think kids should play and go to school.\u201d<\/p>\n The 42-year-old shares son, Aleph<\/strong>, 12, and daughter, Amalia<\/strong>, 6, with estranged husband Benjamin Millepied<\/strong>.<\/p>\n We don\u2019t blame her for being a protective momma. It\u2019s what saved her as a kid, so why wouldn\u2019t she do the same for her own brood?<\/p>\n What are YOUR thoughts, Perezcious readers? Let us know in the comments down below.<\/p>\n
