NATALIE PORTMAN – DIET & EXERCISE

When she bagged the Academy Award for the best actress, nobody knew Natalie Portman’s effort to achieve the feat. She had to drop a lot of weight to play her role in the movie Black Swan. With an intense fitness schedule, health investment planning, and a strict diet, she was able to drop 20 pounds. Not many know that the famous actress is Israeli-born to Jewish parents and that her Hebrew name is Neta-Lee, which means “plant for me.”

She was discovered by a Revlon agent when she was ten years old while eating in a pizza restaurant. Though she did not accept the offer, she still made the most of that opportunity by getting herself an acting agent. So in 1992, she auditioned for the off-Broadway musical Ruthless! There was also a time that she and Britney Spears got chosen to be understudies for star Laura Bell Bundy. She has indeed come a long way since she got discovered.
