As you know, I’m slowly updating the biography page so it’s a better reflection of who Natalie is today. In trying to work out who Natalie’s favourite actors and actresses might be, I got a bit stuck. I guess once you reach Natalie’s level of stardom, interviewers don’t really ask “so who is your favourite actor?” anymore.

You’ll also know that I have a source who would likely know these answers, but I try not to be annoying (quite a difficult feat for me) and only email when it’s important. Like a new film rumour.

But given how frustrated I was, I decided to bite the bullet and ask. I’m glad I did because I got a heap of names, and these are just the first names that my source could think of.

So, after the jump, take a look at the actors and actresses that Natalie is a fan of…

First the ladies, starting with her “huge admiration” for…

Meryl Streep, Isabelle Hupert, Julia Roberts, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, Laura Linney, Julianne Moore, Annette Bening, Olivia Thirlby, Kat Dennings, Rooney Mara, Greta Gerwig, Emma Stone and Michelle Williams.

As for the guys, my source said she liked all these actors, but one name in particular was not just a “like” but a “she loves…”. Take a guess who it is in the comments section. First person to get it right wins a virtual cookie.

Michael Fassbender, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, Jude Law, Clive Owen, Mos Def, Chris Hemsworth, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jonah Hill, Eric Bana, Sasha Baron Cohen and Brad Pitt.
