Magazine Apologizes To Portman Over Nude Mix-Up

A U.S. magazine has been forced to issue a statement apologizing to Hollywood actress Natalie Portman after suggesting that she was unhappy with her performance in short film Hotel Chevalier.

As reported by Entertainmentwise yesterday - Sunday supplement Parade stated Portman was "uncomfortable" with a nude scene she shot in a forthcoming essay she wrote for the publication.

She was quoted as saying: "I'm really sorry I didn't listen to my intuition. From now on, I'm going to trust my gut more. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is say no."

But the actress' spokesperson, Kelly Bush, has pounced on Parade, insisting her client was actually talking about a torture scene in new film Goya's Ghosts.

A statement from the magazine's publicist reads: "We say that Portman Regrets doing a nude scene in the movie Hotel Chevalier. This is wrong. When Portman writes about this in Parade, she does not mention a specific movie title.

"She tells us she was referring to a torture scene with a body double in Goya's Ghosts, which was taken out of context and leaked onto the internet. Portman is very happy with Hotel Chevalier and proud of her work in the film."
