Natalie Portman's father is unhappy with her explicit sex scenes
Natalie Portman has fallen out with her father over explicit sex scenes in her latest movie.
Relations between the actress and her Israeli doctor father Avner Hershlag are said to be ‘very frosty’ following the scenes in psychological thriller Black Swan in which she plays a lesbian ballerina.
Natalie, 29, has previously turned down roles, including Lolita, which she considered too explicit, but she was determined to take on the role of troubled prima ballerina Nina in Black Swan.
‘Natalie is a very private and dignified person and is often influenced by her father’s approval,’ said a source.
‘This, however, was one role she simply didn’t want to turn down even though she knew it would upset her father.
‘He still sees her as his baby and always will and thinks showing herself like this is degrading.
'Things are very frosty between them right now.’
