The claim that Portman "learned to speak with a British accent for her starring role in V for Vendetta" is clearly wrong seeing as how the role she is most known for, Star Wars,which came well before V for vendetta she also spoke with an english accent. |

Atheist?
In the Personal Life section, there's a line that says, "On the concept of the afterlife, Portman has said, "I don't believe in that. I believe this is it, and I believe it's the best way to live." Would that mean that Natalie Portman is an atheist? GamerPro64 20:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- It could be argued that it is not the same as atheism. It is possible to believe in a creator of the universe (God, if that's the word one wishes to use) without a belief that humans have an afterlife. There are, in fact, people who have such a belief, but I don't know if that is what Portman believes. She should not be described as an atheist in the article unless it is reliably sourced that she self-identifies specifically with atheism, or an unequivocal indication from her that she does not believe in a creator, supreme being, God, or whatever term she might use. See WP:BLPCAT. Cresix (talk) 21:01, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- Atheism is the denial/rejection of God. Not believing in God or an afterlife is something completely different. I am an agnostic, and I don't believe in God either. Nymf hideliho! 22:31, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
- I fail to see how saying you don't believe in God is different to rejecting belief in God. Both are atheism. Though this is different to belief in an afterlife. Mdwh (talk) 07:15, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
- I find that quite insulting. Only a fool would indulge in words to describe that which cannot be measured. I am no fool! Nymf hideliho! 08:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Wrong date
The date for her son says June 6, but it's actually June 14. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Netsketch (talk • contribs) 02:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
According to sources looks like birth was on the 6th, announced on 14th. Name probably has been determined by parents, just not announced yet. Bluebonnet460 (talk) 21:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
Military service
An anon posted in March 2011 (check archives) that was wondering if Portman had to serve in the military. Well, here you go:

claim in the opening is clearly wrong
The claim that Portman "learned to speak with a British accent for her starring role in V for Vendetta" is clearly wrong seeing as how the role she is most known for, Star Wars,which came well before V for vendetta she also spoke with an english accent.
