Whether you see her as your Queen, or as an astrophysicist Jane Foster, she deserves her spot in the SHJ lineup of badass women.
Are you really going to try and argue with Anakin and Thor?
Whatever, be my guest…
Meh, honestly, you probably won’t even last trying to tell HER she doesn’t deserve a spot.
Either way, we’re going to be basing this article off what Natalie Portman does on a regular basis to stay fit NOW, and what she utilized to portray her roles. Â That being said, if you want to unleash your inner Padme or Jane Foster, or heck, even an overly committed ballerina (Black Swan), you’ve come to the right spot.
Natalie Portman Stats
Height: 5’3
Weight: (approximate) 110 lbs.
Age: 35 years
Woooo for short people! Â
Nothing against all you average height and tall folks out there, but I have to give props to the shorties every once in a while, right?
These stats just make it fun to get an idea of what our celebs are working with. Â For example, we’ve also seen other shorter women celebs like Scarlett Johansson and Olivia Munn, but the alternative are women like Gal Gadot and Jennifer Lawrence sizing up at 5’10 and 5’9!
But, okay moving onto the fun stuff.

Natalie Portman Diet and Nutrition
EOnline gives us some insight to her Black Swan diet here:
“It’s very extreme,” he says. “The diets are not healthy. There are a lot of food and calorie restrictions, lots of coffee and cigarettes to keep the weight down. The body is restricting calories, the pressure of competition is intense. All day she trained.”
Brace says Portman took no shortcuts. The actress herself has admitted she was “barely eating” to get into character. “I was barely eating, I was working 16 hours a day,” she told the Daily Mail.
And, while it’s very interesting, it’s just for us to speculate and not utilize. Â As Brace, celebrity fitness guru, tells us, the diet is extreme and not healthy. Â For that exact reason, we’ll be sticking to more of a lean and healthy version of eating that Portman utilizes throughout her everyday life.
More about Portman’s daily diet comes from LatinoHealth here:
Sharing her secret to luminous skin, Natalie told Yahoo, “Diet is a big part of it. I’m vegan, and I drink a lot of water. If I have dairy, I break out immediately. Â All the baked goods are made with butter, so I don’t have croissants either, which is a challenge,” explains Natalie.
Alright, so we learn a lot here!!!  Not only is Portman hitting on the fact that we need to drink a lot of water (we knew that, right?), but she also fills us in on the fact that she is a vegan (<- SHJ vegan guidelines), also cutting the dairy completely from her diet.

Natalie Portman Workout Routine Research
The majority of the research that can be done on Natalie Portman’s workout routine brings about the many things she did for her role in Black Swan. Â Losing around 20 pounds on her already slim physique was a large topic.
For that reason we’ll be utilizing some of the things that are discussed, but also putting together other options that can be used to look like her physique of Padme and Jane Foster!
PopSugar tells us:
Her exercise: Her eight-hour-a-day Black Swan regimen may have been intense, but when she’s not training like a professional ballerina, Natalie’s exercise routine looks a lot more realistic. The busy mom often uses her workout time to spend with husband Benjamin Millepied and son Aleph. Whether she’s hiking around LA with baby Aleph in tow or going for a run with Benjamin, Natalie makes staying active a part of her family’s routine. She’s also a fan of yoga and is a regular at the gym (both during and after her pregnancy).
And, I also saw the majority of places that she’s a big fan of running as well. Â So, combining running, yoga, hiking, and her being “a regular at the gym”, leaves us plenty of room to work with. Â It’s probably be much different than that of her fellow Star Wars star Daisy Ridley, but it’ll be awesome nonetheless.
