LOS ANGELES: Israeli-born actress Natalie Portman says she feels nervous as a Jew living in France, where she moved last year, two months before the Charlie Hebdo attacks.

In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, the 33-year-old said living in Paris has made her realize how “deeply culturally different” it was.

“It’s been really interesting... I’ve been to Paris so much in my life that I felt (at first) like it’s very similar,” the Oscar-winner told the trade journal, in an interview conducted in Los Angeles.

“And then when you live in a place, you start realizing how culturally different we are, deeply culturally different,” she said in the cover story interview. Asked if she feels nervous about being Jewish in Paris, she replied: “Yes,” adding: “But I’d feel nervous being a black man in this country. I’d feel nervous being a Muslim in many places.”

Portman won a best actress Golden Globe and her Academy Award for 2010’s “Black Swan” — on the set of which she met her dancer and choreographer French husband-to-be Benjamin Millepied.

The couple wed in 2012 and moved to Paris last November, after Millepied got a job with the Paris Opera Ballet — two months before the massacre at the offices of satirical weekly magazine Charlie Hebdo.
