Natalie Portman is one of our favorite leading ladies, and we already knew she was a very versatile actress, but these shots taken by legendary photographer Mario Testino for V Magazine totally have our jaws on the floor!

Not only does Natalie let loose her inner rock star, but she opens up about her first (lesbian!) sex scene in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan, proving herself as a legit actress and what it was like balancing her studies at Harvard with her film projects.

Of the aforementioned sex scene, Natalie says, "It's not raunchy - it's extreme," and she also chats about her upcoming flick Brothers, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire. When asked about how she's chosen her roles over the years, she tells the mag, "Going to school was a great barrier to doing too much. I had one slot open every summer. That makes you really, really picky."

We think she's done a great job choosing her roles, and we definitely see more Oscar nominations in her future!
