13-year-old Natalie Portman appeared on Late Night with Conan on December 14, 1994 to promote her movie debut in "The Professional."
Preceding Natalie's appearance is a brief clip with Larry King that is referenced a few times in the Portman interview.
If Stranger Things was released in 1994, Natalie Portman would definitely have been cast as Eleven.
It would've been cooler
She is much more beautiful than the original cast though.........
She is so young and she said "We have epidemic virus".... Oh shit, here we go again...
who?
@@featheredcanine1897 Millie is cute Natalie is gorgeous
Natalie at 13 had more confidence, intelligence and personality than me as an adult.
the power of a healthy childhood
That's natural, lol.
@@hippiedonut1 some of it is nature, some nurture.
Imagine how you woulda acted if you were starring in movies and going on Conan at 13!
fuck i thought the same lol
You can tell this is new to her and she's so sincere. Not at all an industry kid. Fidgeting, nervous laughing etc unlike other child actors
And not dressing like a stripper
When I first saw Leon', "The Professional' released, I saw that girl steal the movie and said to myself " She is going to be so very very famous in great movies, very soon in her career" She just oozed screen talent and comfort in her role.
@@damage6836Her stripper role was fire though.
Her nervous laughter is so cute!!!
I don't really think she's nervous
or bored
She still has that.
Not as cute as Conan's
I have no idea why KZhead suddenly decided I should watch videos of young Natalie Portman but she's so lovely and adorable and I am watching so I guess they were right.
She will be in a the new "Thor" film in 2020 or 21.. that's the reason
[Psychonymphsia Ultravistous] , I’ve watched one beforehand and now my recommended is full of them
@[Psychonymphsia Ultravistous] No, because that's not the case. Videos of her kept showing up for days BEFORE I even watched one. That's why I said "suddenly". I see many people noticed the same thing so she's obviously trending right now. And there are many other ways you would get such recommendations without even watching anything directly related to her anyway.
That was one long sentence.
Same reason everytime older videos get reccomended. KZhead's algorythm ignores date of upload. It just suggests videos that have the same tags as popular one, and people now is searching for "Natalie Portman" because of Thor.
Adult : il never smoke again Kid : I believe you
It was stressful on the set, so he quit after the filming. :) It wasn't good for him, or his kids.
1994 child actors wear a jumper and a tshirt. 2020 child actors wears clothes/fashion that were tailored for ages 30-45.
you are right. I just searched up "millie bobby brown 2017 interview" on youtube and the results speak for themselves. I don't understand what the marketing idea is there, cause I don't believe those fits were her own idea. Was her PR management trying to make her more appealing to her audience, which was actually alive in the 80s?
more specifically, tailored for 30-45 year old hookers
but at the end of the day the responsibility is all on the parents
Also compare to what the teens were wearing on Nickelodeon shows under Dan Schneider
Strange to think she's now older than Conan was during this interview.
Ye kinda creepy tbh
That just made my head explode.
By several years, too. Conan was only 31 here I think, and Portman is late 30s now. Wild stuff.
@@toddpinkstonisgod Yep, she hits 40 in a few months...as does Jessica Alba. 😮
@@billyc768 same
I like how she innocently told the joke about Larry King's head between Andy's legs.
It was cute, her innocence
it was joke about bj?
@@14types Conan and Andy evilly tried to twist it so it appears like that, but needless to say that Natalie wasn't meaning that at all, she's just a kid, she watched how Andy took off Larry's head, and when Conan told the joke about Andy's hands being busy (one with a cigarette and one with a rabbit) she thought the joke would be more funny if Andy was holding the cut head between his legs.
@@MAbduser i think after Leon she knew about bj and head between legs. And maybe she wanted to joke like adult man and she thought that Andy was gay and he wanted Larry's head between legs.
13 year olds were innocent back then? Damn.
She's a little gem, what a bubbly personality for a 13 Yr old, lovely woman she's turned out to be. Leon was great film.
Oh yes💖👍😘
She's 40 not 38
Like millie without the smugness
Will Henderson millie isn’t “smug” at all? i met her at a con and she’s super friendly, stop acting like you know people
@@featheredcanine1897 stop acting like you know someone just because you saw them shilling at a con
This should be titled as “A Conversation between Harvard alumns”
Conan is a genius. Dodging awkward moments constantly with on-point punchlines, and witty remarks.
That's somebody in show biz with talent, like how they use to be!!!So please don't ask how Jimmy Fallon or these other sorry Tonight hosts got their positions.
I caught on to that too, he could definitely keep a conversation going
Yep
Except for the part when Natalie told the joke about Larry King's Head between Andy's legs@6:52. That took some time to adopt to.
@@CarlosDiaz-sc4iw Jimmy Fallon is a joke. A talentless hack who must have sucked his way onto TV. Suck in more ways than one.
Omg the way she giggles 😭
It's hard to believe that she is 38 now. But her cuteness is never changed ❤️

Sometimes TV shows can be fake but not 13-year-old Natalie Portman. She is so real here.
conan: we will get you out of school natalie: graduates from harvard
Harvard is overrated imo lol
@@musicman76enator sure!!!when u cant get into it,then say it overrated!!p.s:dont say u have gone to harvard
And conan graduated from harvard too
@@abcsin6526 I'm not talking about getting into Harvard or attending Harvard. I'm referring to the fact that there is so much hype about the school itself. People brag about it's reputation when really at the end of the day it's just a college. You can get a similar education, maybe at not such a rigorous pace as Harvard, at any other school in the country. Plus when you go to look for a job, or even go to grad school, it's not necessarily which institution you went to for undergrad but rather which courses you took, your grades, and if what you studied will apply for what you are trying to pursue. So again it's not just about the school itself. Sorry I should have been more specific.
@@shubhamdas12 Yeah and I think he also gave a commencement address at Harvard one year. I forget which year it was though.
She is adorable.
Her smile and laugh such cute 😍
This video makes me realize that she would have been a good Eleven.
Cosmic Odyssey 2001
a better one even
Well they look very similar to each other
Natalie Portman @13 >> Alissa Milano @13 >>Millie Bobby Brown @13...Natalie Portman actually won a well deserved Oscar for Black Swan. Alissa Milano never has, Millie Bobby Brown never will.
open the door hal
You can see why she was cast by watching this interview alone. The energy she gives off is powerful and she's obviously smart for her age. It's been great to watch her career develop over the years since this movie.
Yah
Your youtube name is what Leon was. Ronin
In fact, if Leon were compared to a wandering samurai it'd be Jin: kzhead.info/sun/kr16irWvoneLqp8/bejne.html
This movie was her high point. Unfortunetly it went downhill from there.
She's definitely smart. Natalie has an iq of 150.
Jean Reno, needs to be protected at all costs man. A truly unforgettable masterpiece, and a touching film. With such a perfect cast of the Underrated Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Gary Oldman, and so many others, it literally created a film that was perfect with such a strong emotional, action-packed storyline and what a soundtrack. Honestly, one of the very few films, that you can truly say has no flaws, and one that everyone can agree is perfect. With such a low budget to work with, created a true masterpiece, A film, that'll never be forgotten.
my fave film of all time
I really liked the simplicity of the locations. sometimes you don't need much more than some cheap flats and the streets of a big city.
@@glarcier4398and Luc Besson who write and direct.
Jean Reno, one of the all time great actors, true gentleman, fantastic voice
Conan legit hasnt aged at all
Your eyes aren't working. Probably something to do with you being asian.

He's super recognizable and his overall facial structure looks the same 25 years ago, but I would say he has a lot more wrinkles, slight balding, etc. now that show he's older.

A jolly, happy, precocious kid! What an awesome girl she was & how stupendous a lady & fantastic an actor Natalie turned out to be. Love this interview. She is so joyful & unabashed as a kid with no pretence or hollywood fakeness to her whatsoever. And that laughter is an elixir.

George Lucas really didn't know how to use her properly. And Hayden Christiansen had no chemistry with her at all.
And was fantastic in it. The Prequels are better movies than you deserved.
They were both great and the Prequels are better movies than you deserved.
My gosh what a lovely amazing young lady at 13! You can tell when a child is raised by good parents! There's young adults that are a pleasure to have around because they wear their souls on the outside and emulate kindness. It's a real gift to make others smile just by entering the room!
*Natalie Portman is beautiful.*
Oh man she was such a little cutie pie! Loved her then and still love her now!
She's so naive and pure. Weird how I'm 18 talking about my current elder, but am talking about her younger self...
What?
Sorry Mag, you’re talking way above the heads of the YT crowd. Drop your IQ about 20 points and you’ll fit right in.

Me too!
Me too I was 14 in 94
Oh Natalie, you're so adorable. You were born to connect with others. The beautiful energy coming from you is off the charts. I hope you feel free to still laugh like this. And I hope when you're in the moment, your eyes light up like they do here.
Love Natalie and Conan! What an adorable interview! Class acts.
Natalie really is adorable... I would have been visably nervous in front of a camera at that age
Too cute and smart at the same time.
You sissy
She studied at Harvard...
Less than five years later she would be cast in Star Wars. What a career.
Natalie Portman was what every teenage girl think they are.
true -coming from a 16 year old girl
She was what every teenage girl should be.
@Russian Bot It's only annoying to Russian bots.
Even adults want to be what she was 😂😂😂
I'm from Russia. Please translate what did she say 6:42. Thank you so much! America forever!

I laughed so hard was not expecting that
"Outbreak" word tickled the Matrix.
Oh shit, well spotted :D. Makes me think. Probably the algorithm actually does recommend clips that contain words that fit certain trends. The statistics showed it: Vid already popular, conan is always liked and natalie too, contains "epidemic". Voila.
the thing about the algorithm is if we figure out how it works they'll just change it
@@arthurvice503 Yeah. And they probably constantly do anyway so youtubers cant abuse it.

young NP physically reminds me of Millie Bobbie Brown
You mean Millie Bobbie brown reminds you of young Natalie Portman.
'Leon' is always in my top 10 fave movies.....
yup. I was in love with that girl already haha
Same. 100% fell in love with the movie
This is my first time watching Natalie Portman at age 13. Wow, what an incredible and talented person! Time to go and watch The Professional.
Yes watch it brilliant movie ..really gets to u
She's 4 years older then me, I remember I had a crush on her when I saw her for the first time in a StarWars film 20 years ago lol. She's almost 40 now, def still looks great. Haven't seen her in any film for ages though.
Same. Me and my buddies all had our celeb crush and they liked jennifer Aniston and sarah Michelle gellar. Im 35 and fell in love with her in star wars, and she turned out to be a powerful educated crazy talented woman.
watch Black Swan, V for Vendetta, Thor, Closer, Jackie, etc lol
6 years older than me
@@jhoang861 Annihilation
Best thing she ever did was that skit on SNL where she did a profanity-laced rap.😂
After all the years I still think that "Leon" was her best performance ever
Conan really knows how to interact with kids around Natalie’s age. I wish interviewers were that playful and light today.
She's adorable then; she's adorable now.
.
She is such a happy, confident & joyful kid. Great screen presence. 7:28 That is some A Grade acting in changing expressions! Wow.
Conan looks like a senior in high school.
Well he was young he was only 31 here
She has always been that adorable....
It was only in 2018 that Ms. Portman finally spoke out about being sexualized early in her career, saying that she experienced “sexual terrorism” from the age of 13. Portman was speaking at the Los Angeles leg of the Women’s March 2018 when she opened up about her experiences after appearing in first film Léon: The Professional in 1994. During her speech, Portman revealed how her first fan mail involved a “rape fantasy” written by a man, that a local radio station launched a countdown to when she was “legal to sleep with” and how critics wrote about her “budding breasts” in reviews. Her candid honesty has only increased the deep respect I have for this artist.
She should blame her parents, not society or Hollywood. They're the ones that had her audition after all.
@@charlesdjones1 couldn't disagree with u more...while her parents might be at fault but it's every single individual's responsibly to act like a normal human. And not lingering rapists here n there, by your definition children should be protected but it's okay if someone raped adult
U know unlike so many of hollywood stars.... Emma Watson and natalie Portman have proper education...
@@charlesdjones1 no, it’s the responsibility of everyone on the set.
@@CJ-ft9yo well, I would never let my daughter do something like that, what did her parents expect? It was a role based on sexual connotations between a grown-up and a 12 year old minor, what could possibly go wrong with that role? If you don't see it that way it's not my concern.
Natalie and Jean Reno made one of the greatest stories i've ever seen in a movie, what a masterpiece.
Natalie was such an intelligent young woman. She's already so aware of social dynamics at age 13. Notice how she laughs to make others feel comfortable and well-received, and not just laughing because a joke is funny. Very sharp
She’s so precious 🥺
One of the best movies I saw in my life! great story, cast, and director!
Natalie Portman at age 13 is a delight! What a wonderful personality!
Too bad she had to grow up 😢😢😢 She and Conan have faces that are photogenic at any angle lol

A little girl that Conan interviewed back in the day is now one of the most celebrated and well-know actresses of the country, also a mother of 2. That's how absolutely legendary Conan is.
Well no..Natalie Portman doesn't owe anything to Conan but thanks to her amazing talent she's one the best Holliwood actress!

She's a role model for all age groups
30 years ago! So young. So Smart. An incredible actress. I just finished watching The Professional again. What a great movie!
29…
I was 14 in 94
Look at that cute baby Natalie Portman, she grew up to be such a star.
Funny how I expected them to say research a topic from Wikipedia, only to remember that this was the 1990s :)
Yeah it's weird to think there was no internet back then, and people were still using floppy disks.
Before internet there were only books and papers
Incredibly a very talented actress...A Spectacular interview.
Heart just melts for her
She made Jean Reno quit smoking, how could anyone say no to that angel. What a promising teenager, she turned into a wonderful woman... wow.

She’s very cute and beautiful and talented I love her so much 🥺💖💖
I love her from 13-41. I love her smile, everything of her ❤
So pure and humble!❤️
what a nice interview!! so full of energy
Everytime I listen to conan, I feel like I need to learn something from him. He has that charm of keeping a conversation going and making awkward situations felt like it was intentional, etc. blablabla and yeah... you get my point.
She had so much more personality than I did
Those piercing eyes and the giggling! Conan can just invite her and just giggle during the whole show and i wouldn't mind. ❣️❣️❣️

She is very pretty, funny , courteous , cute and , most importantly, caring. Why do so many people feel a desire to criticise her or analyse her. A pocket-full of sunshine! ....and her advocacy for animal rights and kindness towards innocent creatures says everything about her. A lovely person....
The professional is such a good movie I remember seeing it and going man that little girl is a great actress
"The guns are not real guns, they are fake guns." "I would hope so." Haha.
What a doll. I just saw The Professional for the first time the other night, but her performance in Beautiful Girls is among my favorites. Tremendous talent.
She is adorable there and did a fine job in The Professional. Definitely the spark that ignited her career moving forward.
Oh wow never saw her this young on an interview. She was the most bubbly adorable kid here.
