London, Nov 5 (PTI) She may be all of 28 years, but Hollywood beauty Natalie Portman says that she will not rule out plastic surgery to salvage her acting career in an ageist Hollywood. The ''Star Wars'' actress dreads the day when wrinkles will start showing on her face and worries that she will be brushed aside by producers looking for younger talent, reported V magazine online.

"You see people who were stars five years ago and already they''re waning. As actresses approach 40, it starts becoming really, really difficult," said Portman who also posed for the cover of the magazine sporting a smoky eyed androgynous look.

"I would hope not. While wrinkles aren''t a problem yet, she admits, if I have a pimple I want to get rid of it," said the Israel-born actress when asked about going under the knife to maintain her looks.

While she is clear about plastic surgery, the actress still struggles with nude scenes over fear that images of her will be used on pornographic websites Portman who has always shied away from nude scenes, will appear in the buff in a lesbian sex scene in her upcoming film ''Black Swan''. "I''m not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I''m very opposed to pornography sites and you''re pretty much giving them material if you do any of that.

It''s always a big dilemma for me," she said.
