Natalie Portman: My child wont be Oscar

28th February 2011

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Natalie Portman insists she wont be calling her baby Oscar.

The actress is due to give birth to her first child in the summer, but has ruled out paying tribute to her triumph at the Academy Awards last night when it comes to naming her newborn baby. Natalie was named best actress for her role as tormented ballerina Nina Sayers in dark drama Black Swan and proudly showed off her baby bump in a flowing purple dress as she collected her award.

The star later joked she doesnt want anyone to mix up her firstborn and her prestigious acting award when they visit her home.

"I think that's probably, definitely out of the question," Natalie said after collecting her trophy last night. It's a nice name but now I don't think it would be right to have two Oscars in the house. We wouldn't want to get confused!"

The 29-year-old and her fianc Benjamin Millepied dont yet know the sex of their first child together. Natalie says she cant wait for the awards season to be over so she can relax and prepare for the new arrival.

"[I look forward to staying] in bed, and not [having] to do my hair and make-up and [keeping] my sweats on relaxing for my child to be healthy and happy I think what every parent could only wish for," she added.

The star has revealed her pregnancy has put her career and her accomplishments into perspective. Even though she is thrilled to have won an Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA for her role in Black Swan, the actress hasnt got carried away with the hype surrounding her performance.

"Having a baby feels like it has been a protection against all the hoopla and everything which is more superficial," Natalie explained. (C) Cover Media
