Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman lends her voice to iconic Australian kids' show Bluey
Australian children's show Bluey has consistently been a favourite with audiences, and even has a few A-list fans.
Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman, 40, lent her voice to an episode this week titled Whale Watching, where she narrated a whale documentary on the show.
The popular ABC Kids series follows the adventures of 'a loveable, inexhaustible six-year-old Blue Heeler dog (Bluey)' along with her family, which includes her mum, dad and younger sister (Bingo), and her friends.
