I think two of my favorite actors have to be Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman. In the September 2009 issue of Interview magazine Jake gets a chance to interview Natalie. I read the interview and it was so adorable and of course I had to share.

GYLLENHAAL: So let’s begin. Mount Rushmore honors four U.S. presidents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. If you could add any person to Mount Rushmore, who would it be and why?
PORTMAN: This is an amazing question. Gosh . . . I have to think about that one. [laughs] Let me stew on it for a little while . . . I’m trying to think of someone who has amazing enough features, but it also needs to be the face of a person who is a meaningful human being. Obviously, when you think of Mount Rushmore, you think of Lincoln.
GYLLENHAAL: That’s hard. I don’t know why I started off with that question.
PORTMAN: Do you have an answer to that one?
GYLLENHAAL: No, I don’t. I was just thinking that because you do so much wonderful work in the world, you must have met so many amazing people.

PORTMAN: [laughs] I remember as a kid being really scared of the Smurfs.
GYLLENHAAL: The Smurfs?
PORTMAN: Because that bad guy, Gargamel, was so terrifying. I was scared of a lot of cartoons. I’m kind of wussy like that.
GYLLENHAAL: That’s interesting because you seem so fearless.
PORTMAN: Really?
GYLLENHAAL: Yeah. Looking at all these things that you’ve done and contributed to the world so far, I would have thought that the evil wizard Gargamel would’ve been something you could have very easily stepped over.
PORTMAN: Thank you for saying that, but I’m far from fearless. I’m afraid of everything. But maybe when you’re afraid of everything, it sort of seems like you’re scared of nothing.

GYLLENHAAL: What song best describes your current state?
PORTMAN: My current state . . . I’m trying to think of a song that feels like sleepwalking. [laughs] I don’t know. I’ve mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. That’s sort of my scene.
GYLLENHAAL: Your affection for dirty rap is something that people really don’t know about you, which I think is fascinating. You do incredible things for the world, and then you listen to just completely obscene hip-hop music.
(the rest is too graphic to put on this site but man, I was laughing so hard I was crying!)

I have a couple things to note about this interview: Jake is really awesome and I need him to help me with my next interview, he used to have Garbage Pail Kids cards (I had those too!), he said bada** in the interview, and even though this interview was long it was actually the first one I read all the way through!
