Natalie Portman: "Lesbian Sex Scenes Draw Viewers"

Ballet movies are appealing to both women and men - but only if there’s a lesbian sex scene in it.

The recently released “Black Swan” film features Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in an intense girl-on-girl scenario, which is helping to draw in the male crowd.

Ms Portman told Entertainment Weekly, "I remember them being like, 'How do you get guys to a ballet movie? How do you get girls to a thriller?' And the answer is a lesbian scene. Everyone wants to see that."

The film is in theaters now and is already stirring up some Oscar buzz.
