Actress Natalie Portman appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon via video call from Australia to dish about her intense workouts and vegan diet for her role in the upcoming Thor: Love and Thunder movie. (She is in the country prepping for shooting.) The fourth film in the Thor series is based on the popular comic book The Mighty Thor, where Jane Foster (played by Natalie) becomes Thor.
"I don't know if people understand the training that goes into these movies. Are you doing these crazy workouts and stuff?" Jimmy asked Natalie.
"I’m trying!" Natalie responded, laughing.
"It's insane!" Jimmy said.
"I’ve had like months of pandemic, eating baked goods and laying in bed and feeling sorry for myself. I’m, like, super tired after working out. And during. And dreading before," the actress told Jimmy about what it's been like getting back to her workouts.
Jimmy also asked her about Natalie's vegan cooking show, which she regularly posts on her Instagram.
"I'm obsessed with your cooking videos. You should do a show! I would watch it very single week, I love it," Jimmy told her.
"That's so nice! I don't really have a lot of skill, so I always feel like if I can do it, anyone can do it," Natalie said. "I've gotten so many great recipes from Instagram from other people that I follow. And it's definitely easier that we're cooking every meal pretty much."
She also opened up more about her vegan diet: "I'm vegan, and a lot of people think we're eating alfalfa, so I like showing that there's really delicious, varied, easy things that you can do at home that your kids will eat that are plant-based. And I've been lucky enough to learn a lot of other people I admire a lot."
