MELBOURNE welcomed Hollywood to Gosch’s Paddock on Wednesday, with Academy Award winner Natalie Portman attending its training session.

The actor, who was made aware of the Demons by her Melbourne-supporting friend, was all smiles as she watched on.

Coach Simon Goodwin introduced Portman and her friends to the playing group, before her son, Aleph, and his friend, Miles, joined in on the warm-up.

The visitors were also presented with red and blue merchandise, with Portman being gifted a personalised Melbourne AFLW guernsey.

The trip was then followed by a visit to the MCG, where they had a kick of the footy on the Demons’ home ground.

Portman is in town on holidays, attending a friend’s wedding.
