Method acting may be seen as controversial, but accordingly to Natalie Portman, it's not available to adopt for some actors.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Portman suggested that the strict technique is only limited to people whose job as an actor is seen as more important than the other roles they hold in life (i.e. men). “I’ve gotten very into roles, but I think it’s honestly a luxury that women can’t afford," she said. "I don’t think that children or partners would be very understanding of, you know, me making everyone call me ‘Jackie Kennedy’ all the time,” she said, referring to her Oscar-nominated role in the 2016 biopic “Jackie.”
