Child Actors Who Played Very Adult Roles As Kids

- By

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman was just 12 years old when she played Matilda, an orphan out for revenge in the 1994 action drama The Professional. Prior to her first role, Portman was an understudy on an Off-Broadway play, a far cry from handling automatic weapons while on a mission out for blood. Sixteen years after her film debut, Portman would win an Academy award for the 2010 film Black Swan. Portman has maintained she performed most of her dance routine herself in the film while her dance double says otherwise.
