I once met Natalie Portman at a cafe in Bondi when she was filming one of the Star Wars films. It was a group table and I noticed this very small Jewish girl who looked familiar. But I just thought she was someone I knew from around the Sydney Jewish community.
It was only when my male friend (we were there with our wives) pointed out it was Natalie Portman that we made conversation.
While she is a great actress with a strong screen presence, she is quite unassuming in person.

Did she seem annoyed that you were talking with her or was she cordial? That's a pretty cool story either way! I know some famous folks make you just wish you had left them alone sometimes.
She was quite friendly & normal. We chatted about the filming. Not annoyed at all.

Saw her once on the NYC subway after having seen her on Broadway two years prior. She is quite striking.
