A Video History of David Letterman Flirting with Natalie Portman
Portman came back to the Late Show in 1999 to talk about a little indie project that she was working on called Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. After about 10 seconds talking about Star Wars, Letterman pretty much begs Portman to ask him to prom, then follows it up with a Hummer joke.
Portman was back on Letterman in 2004 to promote Garden State. Letterman starts the interview by showing a photo of her first appearance -- which Portman incorrectly identifies as her promoting Beautiful Girls. Letterman then immediately asks Portman is she's married.
I'm starting to sense a theme here. Every time Portman makes an appearance on Letterman, after telling her she looks tremendous, he opens by talking about how young she was on her first visit. This 2008 visit was highlighted by Letterman explaining to Portman that when he pulls the curtain to vote, he takes off his pants.

Hi Mike,
Excellent post, as always! You missed out on one of the more scandalous Natalie and Dave interviews - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUoIb2Tsn84 - where she's promoting Closer and talking about her experiences doing character research at strip clubs and dance bars. Enjoy!
Seems that Letterman has pretty much always been a puke!
Drat! I didn't see that one. Thanks for posting!
this is a case of "perspective" . I am a man and I can tell that he's into her (sexually of course) , but just like all the other men .
the thing about her and the need to play "dumb" ('cause girls know that men like that -men will say that they don't but they do, bbbelieve me)
now from a different perspective her behavior is a lil' too dumb (too much .. ya know?) : lemme put it in this way: another girl will immediately see her as "dumb" to please men..
that's what I meant by "perspective"
B-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oring!!!!!!
Yea I used to love Dave but now he's just a creepy angry old man.
Go Coco!
Dave's a creep. Has always been a creep. It's quite obvious that he "likes" women a little too young... His cringe-inducing distasteful interview style borders on pedophilia.
@mark
really? personally, i don't think she's acting dumb at all. if anything, she seems eager to prove that she can be taken seriously (understandable since most people think actresses are stupid). she talks about "on the road", politics, etc.
As a woman, I have to say to Mark - agree 100%
