Ashton Kutcher Always Wanted To Work With Portman

Ashton Kutcher has admitted that he has trying to work with Natalie Portman for years.

And now the actor has got his wish as he is all set to star alongside her in their new comedy No Strings Attached, which is directed by Ivan Reitman.

Speaking to USA Today the actor said: "I've been trying to get her to do a movie with me about six or seven times. Every time I have a new one, I ask, 'What if we do it with Natalie Portman?'"

And while Kutcher has been keen to work with the actress he has also revealed his admiration for the project's director.

"I was basically raised by Ivan Reitman, me and hundreds of thousands of millions of young and easily influenced young boys.

"Everything I didn't learn in school I learned from him."

Kutcher has already had box office success this year as part of the ensemble cast in Valentine's Day before going on to star alongside Katherine Heigl in Killers.
