Natalie Portman loves listening to "really obscene hip-hop".
US actress Natalie Portman. Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favourite things, so combined it's great. I've been listening to 'Wait (The Whisper Song)' by the Ying Yang Twins a lot lately, where the lyrics are like, 'Wait 'til you see my d*ck' - which is just amazing because it's whispered. I listen to it like I'm a five-year-old, like, 'Oh my God! I can't believe he just said that!' " EPA/ANDREW GOMBERT
The actress enjoys nothing better than nodding along to bass-heavy tunes with explicit lyrics.
Being quizzed by her 'Brothers' co-star Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, she said: "In my current state... I'm trying to think of a song that feels like sleepwalking. I don't know. I've mostly been listening to dirty rap lately. That's sort of my scene.

The 28-year-old actress is also a fan of the ongoing global economic crisis as she thinks it will lead to a new burst of creativity.
Natalie insists people will soon stop being motivated solely by money, and will become more interested in pursuing personal goals which really make them happy.
She said: "I think it's kind of an exciting time. I mean, everyone is cutting back. It's happening in every industry - including our own.
"All of a sudden, people are doing jobs that they hate and they're not making as much money as they thought they would or they've lost their jobs entirely. I've started to see people looking more toward their own passions and what really excites them."
