Shia LaBeouf has a crush on Natalie Portman. The 21-year-old actor has a "strange attraction" to the 'Star Wars' actress and would have loved it if she had been cast alongside him in 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.'

He said: "I thought it would have been cool to see Natalie Portman in this movie as the daughter, but that didn't happen. But I was on that bandwagon. I was in the Natalie Portman fan club. I have a strange attraction to Natalie Portman."

The 'Garden State' actress is close friends with director George Lucas - who she worked with on the three 'Star Wars' prequels - and the veteran movie-maker has cast her alongside Harrison Ford, who is reprising his role as the daredevil archaeologist.
