On January 21, Natalie Portman will be featured on *8:30 p.m. on Sunday* on France 2, where she’ll be promoting her upcoming film, *May December*.
This highly anticipated drama, directed by Todd Haynes and co-starring Julianne Moore, is set to premiere on January 24, 2024. During her visit to Paris, Portman is also expected to discuss her dietary choices with host Laurent Delahousse.
Portman, a committed vegan for over ten years, has been vocal about her dietary preferences.
Her transition to veganism was inspired by Jonathan Safran Foer’s book, *Should We Eat Animals?* The book’s detailed account of the cruelty in industrial farming and the environmental impact of animal product consumption deeply resonated with her.
As a result, Portman has excluded two major animal-derived products from her diet: eggs and milk. She explains that the dairy industry’s practices are particularly troubling to her.
Dairy cows, she notes, are forcibly impregnated and separated from their calves so that their milk can be used by humans. Similarly, the egg industry forces chickens to lay an unnaturally high number of eggs each year, which she finds inhumane.
In addition to her professional and dietary updates, there are rumors about changes in Portman’s personal life. Recent interviews and media reports suggest she may be experiencing a shift in her relationship status. Portman has been living in Paris with her two children, Aleph, 12, and Amalia, 6.
However, her husband, Benjamin Millepied, has not been mentioned in recent discussions, leading to speculation about a possible separation.
Despite these personal developments, Portman continues to focus on her career and advocacy. She remains dedicated to her principles and is looking forward to the release of *May December*.
