Natalie Portman described how they tried to set her on Mila Kunis

In 2010 the drama Black Swan appeared on the screens. Six years later, actress Natalie Portman, who played the main character in this film, described how it was not easy for her to work in this film.

Interview with Vogue

"Black Swan" - a complex psychological drama directed by Darren Aronofsky. It was he who was the person from whom the actress had to constantly listen to many unpleasant words. Natalie Portman described cooperation with Aronofsky as follows:

"I have never faced this director before. He somehow chose a very strange approach to me. On the film, Mila Kunis, who also plays a ballerina, was my rival. On the plot, we had far from smooth relations with her. Darren, so that all the scenes turned out more believable, we constantly bleated with each other. He could easily come up to me and say: "Look, Mila can work better than you. It is much more interesting than you. " He always wanted us to become rivals in life. But it is clear that something in his calculations was not so, because we, on the contrary, became very friends. We tried to help a friend on the set, despite the fact that Aronofsky was against it. "

In addition, Natalie said a little about how she entered the image of a ballerina:

"It was terribly hard for me. It was a difficult period in my life. I had to stand at the machine for 6 hours, and then perform for 10 hours all sorts of movements, etc. This was necessary in order for me to have the image of an exhausted ballerina who is on the verge of both moral and physical breakdown. I'm glad that my work in the film was rated highly enough. "
