Natalie Portman can’t stand gossip about her marriage, the actress said in a new interview for Vanity Fair’s Annual Hollywood Issuewhich will hit newsstands in March.

When asked about rumors that she had split from her husband of 11 years, Benjamin Millepied, the “May Dec” actress told the glossy outlet: “It’s terrible and I have no desire to contribute to it.”

Reports have speculated since the summer of 2023 that Portman, 42, and the 46-year-old French choreographer, with whom he has two children, have separated. The couple has neither confirmed nor denied it.

Portman was one of 11 hot stars the magazine spoke to during the awards season frenzy.

One who has been on fire all winter is “Saltburn” actor Barry Keoghan, 31, who revealed the biggest resemblance he has to mischievous character Oliver.

“Although I dance naked in my house,” the Irish sensation said. “Everyone does it, man. We all sing in the shower. We all act foolishly when we are alone and feel this freedom. It’s something I identified with.”

British actress Jodie Comer, 30, also wanted to connect with her role as Kathy in the upcoming movie “The Bikeriders,” out June 21. However, she took extreme measures and almost sent her to the emergency room.

“One thing I did with Kathy, something I’ll never do again, because I don’t smoke in real life, was smoke a little at home,” he said, adding that it’s a reason for his mania when actors Obviously I’ve never taken a drag . “And I went to light the cigarette in the gas and the flame burned my eyelashes.”

“The Mandalorian” favorite Pedro Pascal previewed director Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator 2,” out Nov. 22, and said he couldn’t believe his eyes while filming the epic.

“I haven’t been on a set as impressive as ‘Gladiator,’” Pascal, 48, said. “Ridley leaves very little to the imagination in the older sense.”

Another ambitious set was built for “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,” the sequel to Tim Burton’s 1988 horror comedy that hits theaters Sept. 5. The production recreated the elegant original town in exactly the same place it stood 36 years ago: East Corinth, Vermont. — said star Jenna Ortega.

“They rebuilt Winter River, which was crazy. All the locals were very excited,” Ortega, 21, who plays the daughter of Winona Ryder’s Lydia Deetz, told Vanity Fair. “For a lot of the cast who were revisiting Vermont, it felt strange to rush such a sentimental moment for them, to see that house again and be together and call each other by the same names again.”

The magazine also spoke with Oscar nominees Bradley Cooper, Lily Gladstone, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Colman Domingo, along with Charles Melton and Greta Lee.
