Natalie Portman began her long and distinguished career when she was just 12 years old, starring in Luc Besson's film Léon: The Professional. However, the Oscar-winning actress, now 42, doesn't think children should work in Hollywood.
"I would not encourage young people to enter this job. I don't mean never, I mean as a child," she recently told Variety.
Portman has no regrets about starting her acting career in her pre-teens because her parents looked after her while she was on set.
At the same time, she said: “I've heard too many bad stories to think that children should be involved in this work. After all, I don't believe that children should work. I believe children should play and go to school."
Portman is now the mother of two children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, 6, but she doesn't think her children will follow in her acting footsteps.
In addition to starring in the 1994 action thriller, she also appeared as Padmé Amidala in 'Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace' while still in high school. Her other early roles include the 1996 drama Beautiful Girls and the 2000 Where the Heart Is.
