(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Natalie Portman has revealed she has given up smoking cannabis, but she still loves watching stoner comedies.

The Oscar-winning actress is appearing in two comedy movies Your Highness and Best Buds - following a host of performances in tense dramas.

Despite her clean-cut image, Natalie has confessed she has experience of experimenting with drugs and enjoyed using them when she was at Harvard University in the US. However, the 29-year-old pregnant star claims she is now too old to dabble anymore.

I love stoner comedies. I smoked weed in college, but I havent smoked in years, she told Entertainment Weekly. Im too old. I wish I was that cool, but Im like an old lady now. Im in bed by 10 pm. I cant do that anymore.

In Your Highness, Natalie plays a mysterious warrior who joins a prince and his party-loving brother on his quest to rescue his fiance from an evil sorcerer.

In Best Buds, she will play a bride-to-be who decides to ditch her wedding plans and enjoy a marijuana-fuelled road trip with her two friends.

Natalie has spoken about experimenting with drugs and alcohol in the past. She feels she missed out on many teenage experiences because she enjoyed acting success at such a young age.

"OK, so I didn't really go to high school parties and, yeah, I didn't touch pot until I was in my 20s, she previously said. I didn't get flat-out drunk until I went to college. But I think that's a good thing in many ways." (C) Cover Media
