Natalie Portman’s children: scribbles on the walls seen during The Project TV interview

Natalie Portman is in Australia to film her new movie, Thor: Love and Thunder.

The Oscar-winning actress, 39, is in the country with her husband Benjamin Millepied, 43, and their children, son Aleph, nine, and daughter Amalia, four.

And it seems despite her superstar status, Natalie is just like any other mother – who at times has to try and wash her children’s scribbles off the walls. 

In an interview on Australia’s The Project on Tuesday night, which appeared to be conducted via Zoom, viewers noticed that the wall in Natalie’s accommodation was distinctly marked with scrawls that looked to have been made by young children.

A number of squiggles, including circles, the letter ‘d’ and what looked like a fish, were drawn on the white paint in what looked like black crayon. 

Natalie seemed oblivious to art gallery behind her, some of which appeared to have been smudged or previously wiped away. 

During the chat, Natalie, who has already spent some months in Australia with her family, having arrived in September last year, revealed that her children have already picked up the local slang and lingo.   

‘Actually, it’s funny, on the way to school drop off this morning and I said, “oh we’re out of ketchup, I need to get it”. 

 ‘And my daughter was like, “Mummy, what’s ketchup?” and I was like, “tomato sauce”, and she was like, “oh!”‘ she said with a laugh. 

Natalie and her family have been living in Sydney’s ritzy eastern suburbs, and the star recently enrolled her children in an exclusive private school. 

According to a report in Emerald City, she has enrolled her two children in the same school as Hollywood pals Isla Fisher and Sasha Baron Cohen. 

Blending in with the locals in recent months, the Black Swan actress has managed to slip around almost unnoticed while enjoying the city’s stunning beaches and picturesque harbour.
