Darren Aronofsky and now Mila Kunis have both come to the defense of Natalie Portman amidst her body double’s claims that she performed 95% of Natalie’s dance scenes in the movie. Kunis denies it saying Natalie danced her ass off.
“Natalie danced her a– off,” says Kunis. “I think it’s unfortunate that this is coming out and taking attention away from [the praise] Natalie deserved and got.”
Kunis also says Portman has been honest about how much of the demanding footwork she was — and wasn’t — able to do. “She’ll tell you [that], no, she was not on pointe when she did a fouetté [turn]. No one’s going to deny that. But she did do every ounce of every one of her dances,” she says. “[Lane] wasn’t used for everything. It was more like a safety net. If Nat wasn’t able to do something, you’d have a safety net. The same thing that I had — I had a double as a safety net. We all did. No one ever denied it.”
Sure, sure. That’s all well and good but let’s move on to more important questions such as, how many takes did that lesbian scene require, will you do another lesbian scene again and any other news related to girl on girl. Maybe a description of past real world experience, perhaps?
