Natalie Portman on Her Astronaut Movie's Disappointing Lack of Diapers
Natalie Portman's upcoming astronaut movie, Lucy in the Sky, is loosely based on the story of Lisa Nowak.
INowak was an astronaut whose boyfriend cheated on her with a younger woman. Nowak became obsessed with her rival and drove 950 miles across the country wearing a diaper. She wore a wig and had duct tape, mace, and rope to attempt to abduct her.
But... Natalie's movie does not have any diapers in it. Why??? Natalie says:
"That detail just didn’t fit into the story.”
“[The diaper] seemed so radical to all of us listening to it, but actually it’s part of an astronaut’s life.... It seems a lot nuttier if that’s not something you do every day.”
“I guess I still have a diaper movie in my future to fulfill everyone’s expectations.”

The film comes out in the U.S. on October 4th.
