In a separate interview with Marie Claire, the 35-year-old also addressed the ongoing issue of the gender pay gap, pointing out that Ashton Kutcher, her co-star in 2011 rom-com No Strings Attached, was paid considerably more than her.

“Ashton Kutcher was paid three times as much as me on No Strings Attached,” she told the magazine. “I knew and I went along with it because there’s this thing with ‘quotes’ in Hollywood.

“His [quote] was three times higher than mine, so they said he should get three times more. I wasn’t as pissed as I should have been. I mean, we get paid a lot, so it’s hard to complain, but the disparity is crazy.”

Portman finished by saying: “Compared to men, in most professions, women make 80 cents to the dollar. In Hollywood, we are making 30 cents to the dollar.”
