Welcome to the Letterman TH-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era.
She is such a confident, graceful and witty talker. When I was 13, I was balancing the switch between on and off.
And daydreaming 😂
hahahahaha
I still do that
I was too busy stealing chocolate and could hardly utter "uh" with the braces
"Dont let this acting interfere with your grades" she literally took it seriously, she went to Harvard
Where she did not do anything of any substance whatsoever. She got an easy ride at Harvard.
@@honesty_-no9hewere you a collegue to know that?😊 ..anyways she' s a top professional actress, went to Harvard certainly not to pursue a career in that field also, but to pursue other interests than acting, enhance her cultural baggage and grow as a human....have u achieved that already?:))
Unfortunately, if you do take a class with her at any point - you'll realize she's extremely selfish and disinterested in others. Many actors are present and and act well in pre-planned scenarios. Thats par for the course and meant to uphold an image. The first time I encountered this sort of thing was with John Barrowman. Relatively nobody compared to Portman; yet at conventions and other appearances the guy was an A grade **** to people. He blanked a mother and child, the latter who wanted to just say hello being a huge Dr Who / Associated, fan. He only bothers - with those who pay.
By the time I caught up with Portman I was somewhat older and more travelled. You have the intention of giving them a wide birth. Because you figure they just want to be treated as ordinary and not fussed over when they are living a normal day. It could be our lack of grovelling. It could be that she actually expected a big fuss to be made. Or maybe she was just having a bad 6 months. Either way - it remains, never meet your idols, heroes or whatever else -- with preconceived expectations. You'll be disappointed. I don't think Natalie is in any way a bad actress at times. Which itself is sometimes brought into question. But a nice person? Only when she can be bothered. And I expect like John, thats dependent on the pay check.
@@ErraticFaith what rubbish.
@@honesty_-no9he Unlike the thousands of professional athletes, mostly in the NFL, that like to brag about which colleges they've attended to as a result of their hard work and commitment in academics, right?
Even at that age, Natalie was a vision of loveliness, was obviously very intelligent, and had a great personality.
😍❤️😍
It's always evident when they are young that they are special. I'm talking about those with natural talent. Not talking about a business person that goes from pauper to billionaire in one year. That's more of a case of being there with the money at the right time.
@@davidkellymitchell4747 Not necessarily. Some kids are late bloomers, and others fade out in their young adult years.
I'm sure you don't bother with worrying about the age of girls...especially when they're underage.
@@malcolmdrake6137 I currently stand at almost 500 thumbs-up on my initial comment, and other users expressed similar opinions. That means you're the only dmbf. with a dirty mind. A wise man had your number when he said that the difference between intelligence and stupidity is that intelligence has its limits.
People born with their character already printed in their genes. This is perfect example. Confidence she has at 13 , amazing.
Wow...it's difficult to decide who has the most pervy comment, but, don't worry, you're definitely in the running. 😂😂
@@malcolmdrake6137 you need to read more often. You’ve got a problem understanding the point I’m making. I felt sickened by your comment.
When Jewish genes hits.. Bornt with Jewish genes simply as won the lottery ticket becoming powerful
nope not genes. its called parenting. any kid can be like this and more with proper parenting
@@hankb7725 Luck, enviroment, parenting, education, ethnic cultures and genes like many variables not everything is always guaranteed
Jeez, she was SO adorable. and lively. And SO charismatic already. That killer laugh. You could tell she was going places.
🤩❤️🤩
Except to serve in the Israeli military like gal gadot.
gigili
What a sharp little rascal even then! The ending killed me
*finger guns* I WON'T DAVE!!!
That was perfect. Even the audience was shocked, in a good way!!
"And look where you are " The best!
ALWAYS an adorable person. What an amazing woman!
😍❤️😍
She's so adorable. Who knew that many years later she would have a relationship with a dark lord of the sith.
Or the Mighty Thor!
😍❤️😍
I Nees to know that history XD
@@philipdefibaugh5683 I am the mighty Thor.
What do you mean?
Great movie. Pretty intense first role for a kid.
Actually, she's a great talk show guest for a kid too.
💯 This kid vs. that character 🤯
One thing that always stuck out about these early interviews with Natalie Portman when compared to some other child actor interviews such as recently posted Moon Zappa and Claire Danes, while all three share an intelligence and confidence, Portman seems happy to come across as the kid she still is here while the other two (and teenage actors in general) seem to prefer to be seen as possessing a more adult like sophistication.
She is definitely beautiful inside as well as outside. She is also vegan for the animals.
Well said
Thanks for sharing
just like Elle Fanning seems like a normal teenager but Millie Bobby Brown acts like an old lady
@@myaccount227 What a shame - I thought she was normal ☹
"I won't, Dave!!" with a pointing finger. That was SO awesome!
This interview=PURE GOLD
She must have really taken Dave's advice about grades seriously, becoming a Harvard grad. I remember seeing her in Beautiful Girls, which was a few years after this and she was great in that as well. A pretty underrated little movie.
Loved that movie as well.
I remember saying to myself after watching BG, if this girl stays in acting she’s a cinch to win an Oscar. I loved her scenes with Timothy Hutton, which seemed so innocent at the time. Years later I read she pretty much regretted doing that role. But she really killed it.
I lived in Cambridge and saw her a few times when she went to Harvard. Seemed nice and friendly, and happy, like a college kid should be.
Don't mean this as a dis, but she didn't need some talk show host's advice to be the woman she became.
So much stuff we waste our time watching, then there are a few clips like this one. What a thoroughly enjoyable 6 minutes and eighteen seconds. Great guest mixed with a great host.
There's nobody like her. She's beautiful, personable & very intelligent!
An intelligent person doesn't wear a corona face mask.
Haha, what a ball of energy! That's a pretty funny, falling asleep in France during the premiere. I saw this movie 5 times already, give me something fun to do like Math!
Wow that was so adorable - the pure and genuine laughter is so relieving.
she was so energetic !
Plus the social intelligence damn.
1994. Back when schools had chalk, dusters and blackboards. The Internet was in its infancy and 95% of the populous hadn't even heard of it. People phoned their friend's family landline and spoke with their parents first. They played outside. Pokemon season 1 wouldn't release for another 3 years. Nokia brick phones dominated the world and they weren't colour screens. The world watched movies on VHS cassettes as DVD's only started selling that year. Eminem was merely a few years from being discovered by Dre and transforming the music industry forever. The Lion King released and remained the best selling animated movie for an entire decade. The sitcom Friends released and Tamagotchis and the Backstreet Boys were around the corner. Tony Hawk dominated the skateboarding scene. Pierce Brosnan would embody 007 the following year. Social media didn't exist and celebrities were very mysterious. Things were simpler.
Wow, I don’t think I could have strung two coherent sentences together at that age. She was very poised and quite funny…pretty obvious she had “it” in retrospect.
Ridiculously charming and bright... star in the making!
I am so glad i got to watch this, breath of fresh air she is.
I can't take my eyes off her. She is so charismatic, vibrant and intelligent.
That's why she became a child star. Most kid's can't remember lines or be confident in front of a camera.
Just another example of an awesome human being.
She's now 41 and has 2 kids. Damn, I feel old.
Same I'm 43 with 5 kids I was 14 when this interview happened
What a cool kid. And she's still pretty cool.
🤩❤️🤩
Can you imagine being 13 and skipping school to go on late night talk shows? 😐
Yes. Most of us skipped school for a lot less.
@@litigioussociety4249 hahahahaha
I cal listen to her all day. her laugh is contagious.
She's a delight and her laughs are heaven on Earth :)
Her giggles are life
I swear..literally!
The way she talks and the way she uses humor really got me
Natalie is such an adorable sweetheart and so innocent! She's now a woman and still has that cute winning smile and hearty laughter; I just love her!
Those eye rolls and giggles 🤭
Natalie was destined for something big!!!
Her laugh is contagious... Incredible
She's adorable at this age and very poised and mature..cute.
TBH, I'm surprised that Natalie has been holding the highest level of acting since early childhood, and she never had the star disease like many other star kids
Great interview by Dave. He makes it look so easy. And Natalie! Maybe the most beautiful smile in film history.
Shes not intimidated at all on this show she is so confident
Wow.... A beautiful and smart soul just radiates.... Age is just a number. Love the measured cheeky attitude ....
'Not accustomed to seeing youngins handle their business like that. She's probably gonna be a big star some day.
Like she did her business when she went for the audition? 🤣
She was very smart and adorable. Self expression was awesome.
Cute as a button!
Cute as a button... Bright as a star ✨
That's 1 damn smart girl !😁👍🏻
And of course she was amazing in "LE PROFFESIONAL" 😎👊
She was amazing in Star Wars 😍
Shes a very typical only child of educated parents ...very bold and confident and comfortable being herself and grown up for her age too
That maniacal laugh at the beginning when he laughs at his own dumb training wheel joke, was actually pretty funny.
We loved her then and haven't stopped since!!! ❤
So smart - what a joy to watch.
Her sence of humor is so good
They're so cute when they're little. Someday this little girl will have two Golden Globes and an Academy Award.😊
What a great interview. The girl rocked. ❤☮🌎
Wonderful movie Leon. Excellent work by Natalie. 😊
Her Smile
Always Makes
Me Smile
She is the prettiest kid i have ever seen.
Damn, she was beautiful then and still as beautiful now...
😍❤️😍
I can't believe I've never seen this movie. It sounds like it's a pretty good one. I had actually first heard of her when "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" was first released. Looking at this clip, it seems obvious that she had a good future in the industry.
@horace sheffield I'm still willing to give it a try. If I don't like it, I won't watch it again.
😍❤️😍
She's so funny, could be an awesome co-host! And a great flick The Professional is.
Natalie Portman is the best actress of all time 😍😍
She's so cute! I love seeing what people, celebrities & otherwise were like as kids.
😍😍
Esa sonrisa la delata siempre.
haha shes so extremely confident, cheeky, and carefree. what an amazing human, born in the holy land.
Las Vegas?
@@allendracabal0819no. She meant, Staten Island
The interview that I really like watching is when she came on the show just after turning 18 (I think) and Dave asked if she had anything to drink for her party. Her response was perfect.
Now you're gonna make us all go search for it.
what was her response
Great actress. Glad to see she bounced back from those horrible Star Wars movies to do those horrible Thor movies.
Star Wars is a masterpiece and Thor is great.
I disagree on your opinion of Natalie performing in
Stars Wars,,, you hurt my feelings!😢
😂😂😂😂😂
But I really did like all Star wars where we see Natalie☺☺☺
@@rogerpr364
I think the Star Wars movies with Natalie are the best movies, the richest, the most complete, so much exploration of new worlds and more lore and background development.
@@rogerpr364
Natalie was perfect and amazing, imperial as a queen, sweet, elegant, refined, funny, smart, charismatic, romantic and also badass, strong, exuding greater dramatic depth, while being important in the saga by being the mother of Luke and of Leia and also participating in the creation of the Empire and Darth Vader. She's awesome and so underrated, one of the most important and strong characters in Star Wars.
Natalie will always remain Padmé Amidala in my heart.
The Star Wars prequels are so underrated, they're way better than the sequels, I don't understand the hate around those movies.
Kinda eerie seeing Natalie Portman's face on a thirteen year old.
Then you should never watch The Professional, she's even younger in that
You should watch 'Beautiful Girls'. I fell in love with her for that movie and I was 17 when it came out.
@@the406seadonkey6I was 16
Confident, feisty, funny, entertaining, pretty, intelligent, talented, mature, natural.
She looks exactly like millie Bobby brown
Millie is the dollar store version of Natalie.
cutting out to be in the show of the GOAT of late night....later graduating from Harvard. I guess Dave's advice came it on handy
That confidence!
That adorable laugh!
She was just too cool for that age😮❤
Completely charming
😍❤️😍
“I won’t Dave!!” 😂
She is so adorable, and SO expressive!
😍❤️😍
My god she was charming
😍❤️😍
She is so smart!! Beautiful and full of witt - LOVELY!
What a wonderful kid! I think she has a very bright future and I can imagine her winning an Oscar too.
hello shes famous now lmao
@@joyfulcookiegaming you seriously didn't get the joke.
You wrong she marry with evil dark lord
We need more young girls on tv. They are naturally fun people.
She is adorable, intelligent,savages and she is so pretty active.i love her laughing
What a cutey : )
This kid was naturally lovely.
Wow! I had forgotten this totally!
She was so adorable child,,,i like the way she laughed, she was a happy kid , her voice was so lovely , cute ....jocker ....,,🎄😁
Oh my god
Leon the professional movie I can remember
Great actress.
At 13 years of age, she's more intelligent and charismatic than most 25 year olds these days.
Does anyone realise how alike natalie and millie bobby brown are
RIGHT it's so funny
Wow what a beautiful girl and beautiful smile her beauty is very devine her innocence gives more beauty to her
That was delightful!
Millie Bobby Brown😮
His fake laugh in the intro makes me sick.
She is so amazing sweet and photogenic ❤📽
Wow what a wonderful and endearing personality she's got. So bubbly, cheerful and witty.
So nostalgic.
When I watched Leon it was blatantly obvious that she would grow into a great beauty and a wonderful actress. And so she did.
Smart lettle girl, more some years and she win the Oscar in "Black Swan" movie where she appears very, very well, a complete actress.
4:40 Nat: Is he a psycho.
Letterman rules
Love Dave
Such grace
5:30 How quick she got Luc Besson's accent.
That Letterman laugh😂
omg,i love her so much ❤❤
The amount of maturity,positivity and energy that Natalie had at this tender age is really astounding . She knew she is going to rule the Hollywood
She was a adorable!
