No More Miss Cute?


Actress Natalie Portman has taken on a different role in new movie Brothers because she says she doesn't want to be 'cute' any more.

Portman, 28, plays the love interest of Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal in the new flick.

Asked why she took the mother and wife role, she told UK newspaper the Daily Mirror: 'I just don't want to be cute any more.

'I've been playing girl-woman roles for a long time and I was excited about the opportunity of playing an adult. I really wanted the challenge.'

Portman, who plays the wife of a soldier in the film, said that she talked to many military wives for the role and also spoke to her own mum to prepare for the part.

She said: 'My own mother is the most maternal, nurturing, warm, cosy mummy. So I had all that in me. She was a great role model.'
