Natalie Portman wishes her May December co-star Julianne Moore a happy 63rd birthday… after reuniting at NYC screening
Natalie Portman publicly wished her fellow May-December star Julianne Moore a happy 63rd birthday on Sunday.
It was a rare social media shout-out from the 42-year-old former child star, who gushed throughout Instastory: 'And the happiest birthday to this legend @juliannemoore! I enjoyed making @maydecember with you.'
The Oscar-winning duo had never worked together before Natalie played actress Elizabeth Berry, who investigates sex offender and baker Gracie Atherton-Yoo in order to play her more authentically in an indie film.
Julianne's character is a thinly veiled version of Mary Kay Letourneau, who served six years in prison for the second-degree rape of her 12-year-old student Vili Fualaau.
The controversial couple eventually married for twelve years until their divorce in 2019 and Mary died at the age of 58 from colorectal cancer in 2020.
