PARIS: Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman says she is "shocked and disgusted" by a video in which designer John Galliano says he loves Adolf Hitler.

Portman says in a statement that "as an
individual who is proud to be Jewish, I will not be associated with Galliano in
any way." Both stars work with Christian Dior. Portman is spokesmodel for
Miss Dior Cherie perfume. Galliano has been suspended as Dior's creative
director pending an investigation into an alleged anti-Semitic incident in a
Paris cafe last week.
Portman's statement was provided Tuesday to the
Associated Press after a video posted online showed Galliano, in a different
incident, drunkenly telling a cafe patron, "I love Hitler." Portman
won the best actress Oscar on Sunday for "Black Swan."
