She is one of the most famous actors in the world.
But instead of playing the role of Nina in Black Swan or Padme in Star Wars, Natalie Portman was playing track watcher at Melbourne’s training session on Wednesday.
The Academy Award winner is in Australia to attend the National Gallery of Victoria’s prestigious annual gala, and was last week spotted in Byron Bay with her family.
But on Wednesday she took time out to see what the Demons were up to at Gosch’s Paddock - donning the No.6 AFLW jumper made famous by Daisy Pearce, no less.
Melbourne confirmed to foxfooty.com.au Portman was a guest at the club, with the star posing with coach Simon Goodwin for photos.
But we cannot confirm whether Portman had yet shown the same ability as Meghan Markle to handball. Stay tuned.

Seeing these photos of Natalie Portman at Dees training is giving me PTSD of the time she was in front of me at the queue in Tesco’s for a good two minutes and I didn’t ask for a selfie. It remains a moment of regret
