The "Black Swan" star jetted straight from Paris to Vienna to shoot her latest film with top director Guy Ritchie in Austria. Around Schwarzenbergplatz was the first filming hotspot on Friday afternoon. And you can see that the exceptional actress is feeling very much at home.

Together with her film colleague John Krasinski (who is not yet in town), Natalie Portman is now standing in front of director Guy Ritchie's camera. The ex-husband of pop icon Madonna is filming his latest prank, the adventure film "Fountain of Youth", at many neuralgic points in Vienna's city center, as previously reported by the "Krone ".

Vienna becomes a Hollywood backdrop
While still in Paris on Wednesday, Oscar-winner Portman kicked off in the Austrian capital on Friday. Numerous (delighted) passers-by witnessed a real Hollywood shoot in the middle of the city. The actress appeared very focused, and was sometimes closely shielded by security guards.

Stars stay in posh accommodation
The crew itself is staying partly at the Bristol, partly at the Hotel Le Meridien, but there is also a good chance of catching a glimpse of the world stars at the Imperial (where Portman is said to be staying) and the Sacher until next week.
