There’s a saying in America that goes “the less you do, the more you make.” In Natalie Portman’s case, it’s 100% true. After using a dancing double in Black Swan, she now admits to using an ass double in Your Highness. Does she actually do any work in these movies?

Natalie Portman has denied rumours that she stripped naked for a skinny dipping scene in her new movie Your Highness. Portman is seen baring her bottom in the movie but the actress admitted that she used a body double for the shot as she didn’t want to get into the freezing cold water.

She told a tabloid: “There’s one shot that’s me and the shot of her diving into the water is a body double, because I didn’t wanna go in the water – it was really, really cold.’”

Really, really cold? So I checked out some things and going on the facts that an A-list actor typically can get 10-20% of the total budget as pay PLUS another 15-20% of gross profits for the film, and judging by the fact that that film had a $49 million budget – you took home somewhere in the ballpark of $5 million (at the lowest end) even if the film never made a cent, and the water is too cold? Such bullsh*t! And the body double who actually had to bare her ass probably made less than $700 for her day.
