Portman vows never to marry

Mon 18 Feb 10:20 AM

Hollywood star Natalie Portman has vowed to never get married because she doesn't "need a piece of paper'.

The Star Wars actress, who has been romantically linked with Moby and Jake Gyllenhaal in the past, is reportedly dating male model Nathan Bogle. But it looks unlikely Portman will be walking down the aisle anytime soon.

She told Hollyscoop.com, "I'm into monogamy. But I'm not really into marriage. I sort of hate the legal aspect of it. What does the state have to do with it?

"Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they're foreign or share my health care benefits because I'm straight - but if you're gay, you can't have that?"

But it's not just the government Portman has been rallying against. She is becoming tired of only getting stripper scripts following her famed pole dancing scene in 2004s Closer.

She said, "I have recently been getting frustrated with the number of roles for strippers or prostitutes I get.

"I want to find a character who is complicated. I also love comedies, but every time I read a comedy, the girl is in fashion and really into clothes and just wants to get married."

And that's a big no no in Portman's book.
