Natalie Portman Thinks Her Twin Millie Bobby Brown Is 'Magical'

Once Twitter blown up with eerily similar side-by-side photos of young Natalie Portman and Millie Bobby Brown, both actresses noticed.


"I had met Millie at the Golden Globes a number of months prior and she came up to me and was like, 'People keep telling me I look like the kid version of you!'" Portman told MTV News at a press junket for her latest movie, Annihilation.


However in spite of the fact that the actress is "so flattered" by the comparisons, she reacted like only a true Stranger Things fan would. "I visualize that there's something there, nevertheless I also find her, like, much more magical than I visualize myself," she mentioned. "She's really wonderful."


Portman might not directly get to play Eleven on the Netflix hit, but the vocal Time's Up supporter does continue to do some pretty magical things for the sci-fi genre, most recently starring as Lena in her upcoming female-led film.


"It was really, really fun to create she mentioned of Alex Garland's film adaptation of Annihilation. "Unfortunately, it's very rare to get to work with so several girls and it also was a really incredible possibility to get to spend time with Jennifer Jason Leigh and Tuva Novotny and Tessa Thompson and Gina Rodriguez and watch their incredible talents and spend time with them and meet them and get to know them better."


Leigh, who plays Dr. Ventress, also gushed about the "incredible humor" and good, incredible conversations" that bonded the five actresses throughout the making of the film, and noted that despite it being irregular, the experience of working with so many badass females actually wasn't unlike working with male-dominated casts, like 2015's Hateful Eight.


"I would have thought it could be so entirely different, yet it wasn't because this was another fantastic categorize of people," she mentioned, later adding, "It didn't feel like Alex was building a political [statement] or saying something about our times or anything. It just felt like this was the movie that Alex wanted to create and these were the people he cast and that he habitually saw it as being these five women."


Annihilation hits theaters on Friday, February 23.
