The 28-year-old actress thinks that her co-star in 'Brothers', Jake Gyllenhaal, has a lot of great things as a man but she finds him unattractive.

Natalie Portman personally thinks that her co-star in upcoming movie "Brothers", Jake Gyllenhaal, is perfect yet unattractive. The 28-year-old star jested in a recent interview that the boyfriend of actress Reese Witherspoon is flawless, before jokingly adding, "Too bad he's ugly".

"Jake is the kind of guy who can do a spot-on impression of someone you work with that will make you giggle," Natalie pointed on Jake's positive sides. "He knows home remedies for distressed hair. He can build a cabinet from scratch. He plays guitar and has a great voice. Kids and dogs love him. He loves his mom and sister and girlfriend."

While Natalie spoke about what she thinks of Jake, her co-star Jake talked about one of the reasons he agreed playing in the movie, revealing that he wants to prove that he and co-star Tobey Maguire are not identical looking. He recalled, "People have very often said to me that I look like Tobey. To all those cab drivers in New York, I'm not Spider-Man!" The "Brokeback Mountain" actor moreover added, "We really just made the movie so I could say I look a little different than Tobey."

In "Brothers", Natalie Portman portrays Grace Cahill, while Jake Gyllenhaal plays Tommy Cahill. As Grace, she will be seen portraying a mother of two who has an affair with her brother-in-law after her husband goes missing overseas on his fourth tour of duty. The two will be supported by Tobey Maguire who portrays Sam Cahill. The movie is scheduled to be released in U.S. on December 4.
