Natalie Portman covers EllE magazine April 2008

Natalie Portman has vowed to use her celebrity status to benefit others by talking only about her charity work in her interviews.

The actress is convinced that her status will give her extra influence, and she is also keen to use it to help change the world - one interview at a time.

Portman has addressed the U.S. Congress on behalf of her favourite cause - the Foundation for International Community Assistance (FINCA) - and is determined to continue to use her celebrity status to benefit others.
