Mark Hamill meets his ‘Star Wars’ mom Natalie Portman at the 2024 Golden Globes
Luke, she is your mother.
Mark Hamill finally linked up with Natalie Portman, who plays his “Star Wars” character, Luke Skywalker’s mom, Padmé Amidala, in the franchise, on Sunday at the 2024 Golden Globes.
“Now I have finally met my ‘mother’, thanks to the @goldenglobes,” Hamill, 72, wrote alongside a picture with Portman, 42, on X, the platform previously known as Twitter.
Portman was nominated at the Globes for her role in the Netflix film “May December,” while Hamill was in attendance to present “Barbie” with the Cinematic Box Office Achievement award.
The Post has contacted reps for Hamill and Portman for comment.
In 2018, Hamill revealed in a tweet that he “never met” Portman. Hamill famously portrayed Skywalker starting in 1997’s “A New Hope” while Portman joined the franchise with the space opera prequel “The Phantom Menace” in 1999 where she was revealed to be Luke and Leia’s (Carrie Fisher) mom.
The “Black Swan” star addressed Hamill’s tweet in a 2018 appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” saying, ” “I know, It’s such a shame, I would love to meet him. Mark, I would love to meet you. Where are ya? Come over!”
In June, Hamill told CBS’s “Sunday Morning” that he sees no reason to ever reprise his role as Skywalker.
“I had my time, and that’s good,” he said. “But that’s enough.”
“I just don’t see any reason to,” Hamill admitted after some coxing from reporter Tracy Smith. “Let me put it that way: I mean, they have so many stories to tell, they don’t need Luke anymore.”
And in December, Portman told the story on “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen” about the time she played along as King (then-Prince) Charles thought she was in the original “Star Wars.”
“I remember Prince Charles asked me — he was then Prince Charles — if I was in the originals.”
“I was like, ‘I’m 18,’” she joked. “But he was very friendly.”
