Another genre that Portman has spoken about regretting is thriller. In a 2012 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Portman said that she "never really enjoyed" doing thrillers and that she "didn't feel like [she] was good at it." She cited her role in "The Other Boleyn Girl" as an example of a movie she regrets doing, saying that she "didn't feel like [she] had the skills" to do it justice.
Despite these regrets, it is worth noting that Portman has received critical acclaim for her performances in both action and thriller movies. In "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones," Portman's portrayal of Padmé Amidala was praised for its depth and nuance, with some critics noting her ability to convey a sense of vulnerability and strength in the role. Similarly, in "The Other Boleyn Girl," Portman's portrayal of Anne Boleyn was praised for its complexity and nuance, with some critics noting her ability to convey a sense of ambition and vulnerability in the role.
While Portman may have regrets about certain genres, it is clear that she is a talented and versatile actress who is able to deliver powerful performances in a wide range of movies. Whether it is action, thriller, or any other genre, Portman continues to be one of the most respected and sought-after actresses in the industry, and her contributions to the world of cinema will continue to be celebrated for years to come.
