Oh crap, Natalie Portman’s double,Sarah Lane, is speaking out and taking all of Portman’s thunder for the expectional role she played as a dancing ballerina in Black Swan. Portman’s double is pissed at the amount of attention and credit Portman has received and is making it known that she did the majority of the work dancing on screen and portman only did teeney bit.
Sara Lane tells us how much was Natalie Portman, here is what she said:
“Of the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie. All the other shots are me.”
But, but, that is not what the instructor has been saying, the number given was 85%
Lane doesn’t agree with this and had this to say:
“The shots that are just her face with arms, those shots are definitely Natalie,” she says. “But that doesn’t show the actual dancing.”
Lane went on to say that the producer, Ari Handel, informed her not to say a word in saying:
“They wanted to create this idea in people’s minds that Natalie was some kind of prodigy or so gifted in dance and really worked so hard to make herself a ballerina in a year and a half for the movie, basically because of the Oscar,” says Lane. “It is demeaning to the profession and not just to me. I’ve been doing this for 22 years…. Can you become a concert pianist in a year and a half, even if you’re a movie star?”
Having said all this we thought Lane is angry at Portman for claiming the art of ballerina dancing as though it was hers, but doesn’t appear so, here is what Lane had to say:
“I do give her a lot of credit because in a year and a half she lost a lot of weight and she really tried to go method and get into a dancers head and really feel like a ballet dancer. [Natalie] is an amazing actress, for sure,” she says. “I know that it’s not a personal thing against me. I know that it’s just a political thing. It’s just unfortunate that I kind of lost credit.”
Having said all that and
