Natalie Portman shows off her trim pins in denim shorts as she steps out to grab coffee in Sydney

She began filming scenes for her new Marvel blockbuster ThorL Love and Thunder earlier this month. 

But Natalie Portman took a break from her hectic filming schedule on Sunday as she stepped out to grab a take-away coffee from a local cafe Sydney’s eastern suburbs. 

Joined by her nine-year-old son Aleph, the Black Swan actress, 39, showcased her trim pins in a pair of denim shorts, while covering up her lithe torso beneath a loose-fitting white T-shirt. 

She completed her look with a pair of black-and-white sneakers, and a set of sunglasses, which she removed once inside the cafe. 

The down-to-earth star went makeup-free and allowed her brunette locks to fall loosely around her shoulders in natural curls.  

Natalie relocated from the US to Australia with her family in September, months ahead of filming scenes for the latest instalment of the Thor franchise. 

She is now living in Sydney with her husband Benjamin Millepied, 43, and their children, son Aleph, nine and daughter Amalia, four.    

Thor: Love and Thunder will see Natalie’s character, astrophysicist Jane Foster, take up the mantle of Thor after transforming into a female version of the Norse god. 

In October, Natalie revealed her excitement on returning to the franchise during an interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.   

‘It’s going to be really silly and funny and great. We’ve got [director] Taika Waititi. He’s wonderful, so I’m very excited,’ she said. 

Natalie was absent for 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, but was a key player in the first two Thor films in 2011 and 2013. 

Thor: Love and Thunder is scheduled to be released in February 2022.
