In between promoting The Other Boleyn Girl all around the world, Natalie Portman found time to pose for another stunning photoshoot, this time for the April Marie Claire UK. With all Natalie's acting success it can be easy to forget she has a Harvard degree to go with that pretty face. When asked about it, she said, "I can be pretentious and talk about books for hours, but I’m not hyper-intellectual or anything. I mean, I like to read, but lots of people do. I’m not the hard, brainy girl at all. I’m really mushy. [Laughs.] I’m much more mush, I think, than anything else!" While Natalie should never be ashamed of being smart, it's nice to know she loves her soft side too. Also, in case you missed any of PopSugar UK's conversation with Natalie and Scarlett about life, love, politics and their movie — check out their last installment today!

Yay! Intelligent, educated, talented, and beautiful--and all without the scandals and stupidity. I love her.
1I've always liked Natalie she's someone I think is "down to earth"
2and purdy to boot! ^ _ ~
so perfect it's almost disgusting.
3Love the Natalie!
4NaPo beats ScarJo anyday.
5love her. why so blond?
6Beautiful as always.
7Oh how I love Natalie!
8She is just so beautiful. And smart! A great role model for young women.
9so pretty!
10she is easily one of my fav. actresses
11she's boring
12but at least she's intelligent
beautiful...and i agree with Fiore!
13she does come off pretenscious and for some reason i'm tired of her.
14Natalie, is very beautiful as always.
15that cover shot is gorgeous!
16She is super super beautiful!
17I love her sense of style and the fact that she doesn't apologize (much) for being smart. It's really refreshing.
18Agree with TashSpice: boring, but at least she's intelligent. Good to see someone not flashing her bits to the paps and stuff.
19love her!
20She's FAB. I'm such a big fan of hers!
21She's sooo beautiful and an amazing actress as well. I love that she's smart. Dumb people are annoying. =)
22She looks gorgeous here - love the lighter hair.
23I agree with Pop - she should never be ashamed that she has brains as well as beauty.
I don't think she's too boring ,i just think that she has done a good job of keeping her personal life out of the tabloids.
she's pretty rad. i bet i'd be able to get along with her and have a fun shopping outing.
24i love that she didn't sacrifice her education to be an actress. i remember when she first decided to go to harvard and did all that - and you can see that she's no worse for ware about it. there are so many actors that fear if they take the time off - then they won't have a successful career and you can see with her that she's just as busy if not busier now than she was when she was younger.
25whats not to love about this girl
26my thoughts exactly zaharapitt...this chica rocks!
27so stunning
28perfect lips amazing brownie eyes and a beautiful skin that's what makes Natalie one of the hottest girls in Hollywood!
29She is just flawless
30i love this girl. she doesn't sound pretentious at all, but more self-deprecating than anything, but very humble and sweet. i can see where she's coming from, i love how she is genuinely nerdy about books and politics and helping people in general. it's always nice to hear about someone who talks about books and sounds worldly and very educated.
she's great. i hear her movie didn't do too well, but who cares. it's natalie portman, she'll find another movie that will do well and even if it doesn't, she is still number 1 to me. just by the way she is.
i don't necessarily agree with her on a lot of things, either, but the fact that she comes across as engaging, serious, nice, and humble is the best package i've seen so far.
31the perfect blend of intelligence, beauty & grace - and an environmentalist & vegetarian to boot - what's not to love?!
32I love how she always comes across as being gorgeous, sexy in an understated way, and always always intelligent.
33WHy don't we get her on the US Marie Claire? I just got mine and it's Kate Bosworth. I'd rather have Natalie over the Bos any day! Boo!
