A screenwriter says actress Natalie Portman turned down a film role as she “didn’t understand celibacy”.Star Wars star Natalie Portman turned down the chance to work alongside screen great Meryl Streep because she could understand the concept of celibacy. The actress, who has a Harvard degree, was offered the part of a nun in the film version of playwright John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt but according to the writer turned it down because she couldn’t see herself as a virgin. “We asked Natalie Portman, and Natalie was very interested but kept saying she had a problem,” Shanley told GossipSauce.com. “And we finally nailed down as to what the problem was: she basically said she didn't understand celibacy.”
