Natalie Portman graces the January 2010 issue of Vogue even better than the skillful ballerina she plays in Black Swan.

The actress reveals she is currently eating vegetarian at home and vegan when she goes out. Seems like it would be easier to find vegetarian options out, but perhaps Nat’s standards for cheese and eggs (non-rennet, cage-free) make it difficult to feel okay about eating simply vegetarian at restaurants where she doesn’t know the source of the food. If there’s a restaurant that serves hummus, however, it’s sure to get her business, as she’s a chickpea lover in public or behind closed doors.

“I consume my own weight in hummus every day,” Portman jokingly told Vogue.

Contrasting her personality with her anorexic character in Black Swan, Portman explained, “I’d never get to the point where I would starve or injure myself like Nina does. I’m the opposite—when I’m hungry, I eat, and I always make sure I’m eating something delicious. I’m tough on myself in terms of the standards I want to live up to, but that’s also part of my pleasure: knowing you are being your fullest self. Being your fullest self is a lot of work.”

We’re sure the producers made it a priority to stock Portman’s dressing room with plenty of the roasted red pepper, baba ganoush and roasted garlic spread.

What flavor of hummus do you devour in copious amounts?
