Portman hates travelling for work

Actress Natalie Portman has to travel from one place to another for her work commitments, but if she had her way, she would love to live and work in one place.

The "Black Swan" actress, who lives in Los Angeles and often shoots in London, does not like so much travel.

She is envious of her British co-stars who can live and work in the same city as most of the Hollywood productions are now making use of London's production studios, femalefirst.co.uk reports.

"I love working here in London and I'm envious of British actors and British crews because American actors, we end up like gypsies - movie to movie, moving cities every time," BANG Showbiz quoted Portman as saying.

She feels being based in the same city as her work will help her career too.

"You can have such a fulfilling, wonderful, rich career here (in London) between the theatre, the TV, and the film all in one place. It's pretty cool to get to live and work in the same place," the 32-year-old added.
