Natalie Portman Relaxes at the Beach in Sydney with a Glass of Wine

Natalie Portman enjoys some downtime with her family in Australia before filming Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunder. On Sunday, Natalie and her husband, Benjamin, enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in Sydney with a group of friends. The actress went unnoticed by locals as she sipped a wine glass at Nielsen Park Beach in Vaucluse. A barefoot Star Wars: The Phantom Menace star cut a casual figure in denim shorts and a gray t-shirt, which she paired with a blue cap and oversized sunglasses. Natalie Portman tied her brunette hair into a bun and appeared to go makeup-free. The No Strings Attached actress looked happy and serene while walking around with her glass of wine.

Natalie’s husband, French dancer Benjamin Millepied, also kept things casual in black shorts and a blue t-shirt. During the outing, Natalie flaunted her toned legs as she went for a walk along the sand. The actress then happily chatted to a female friend. Natalie’s friend also went barefoot and looked chic in a blue dress and sunglasses. They two appeared to be having a great catch-up, as they spent some time chatting together. Later on, the actress carried an oversized bag and a yellow ball to the car. Natalie Portman arrived last week in Sydney’s Fox Studios as the production of Thor: Love and Thunder go into pre-production. The film will see Natalie’s character, astrophysicist Jane Foster, take up Thor’s mantle after transforming into a female version of the Norse god. “It is going to be silly and hilarious and great,” Natalie Portman recently said of the project.
