Natalie Portman recently passed on the role of a nun in the upcoming movie Doubt based on the hit play. Playwright John Patrick Shanley reveals why Natalie skipped out on the role: She’s not down with celibacy. Page Six reports:

“I’m trying to think of what the etiquette is on this,” Shanley chuckled, blushing a bit. Urged on by a blogger for gossipsauce.com, he continued, “Well, we asked Natalie Portman, and Natalie was very interested but kept saying she had a problem. And we finally nailed down as to what the problem was. She basically said she didn’t understand celibacy.”

I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Star Wars geeks suddenly cried out at once “GEH! My lightsaber won’t go down!”
