Natalie Portman is one of the most favorite actors among fans who supports her positively, whether it’s for her role in Black Swan or Thor, she is an incredibly brilliant and fit actor. Recently glimpsed in Thor: Love and Thunder’s trailer in a buffed-up form as the Mighty Thor, some of her fans were eager to know the secret to her diet and exercise routine. But as we know, everything received some negative shades and hate and that’s what happened with this actress too.
Some critics and fans threw shade at her saying, (forget the whole,
“she’s a woman!” argument and let’s look at it from an unbiased perspective;
she does not look like she is strong enough to even fit the role).
The
sad part is, to develop those toned biceps, the star actually did work with
trainer Naomi Pendergast. Her training routine involved a lot of weight
training and drinking enough protein shakes, which she did not have any
previous experience with. Since Natalie Portman didn’t want to get bulky,
she stuck to weight-lifting workouts. She told Vanity Fair:
According to the fans, Natalie Portman is just 5 foot 2 and 100
pounds and she is really small to the fact that it would look comical to see
her as “The Mighty Thor”. They also called her unfit, scrawny, and weak and
believes she was not really the best casting choice. The critics pointed out
that other actors put effort into their physic. They are trained in martial
arts and weightlifting to look like satisfying action heroes. Even called
her “unbelievable” as someone who can protect the world. Maybe this hate
will stop “if she gains some muscle mass”, told by a fan.
While others wrote all over social media that, they still don’t
know how to feel about Jane Foster taking Thor’s name, in their opinion this
run is great. Jane Foster as Thor isn’t invincible, she has drawbacks and
this makes her feel very progressive. Fans are kind of unhappy about Natalie
Portman being Thor because they think MCU is forcing diversity. But we
already know that Jane Foster has been Thor in the comics, and in the comics
storyline, she’s a great character.
