"I love milk so much! I make a point of drinking a glass of milk every day. So now anyone who did those milk ads with the milk mustaches, they're my heroes"
About this Quote
The sly subtext is how she elevates a very corporate artifact - the milk-mustache ads were peak 90s/early-2000s marketing - into genuine heroism. Calling ad participants “my heroes” isn’t a literal coronation; it’s a playful collapse of the distance between star and audience. She’s placing herself on the consumer side of pop culture, fangirling the same mass-media ephemera everyone else remembers. That reversal works because it lets her be famous without acting “famous.”
Context matters: those campaigns sold milk as wholesome Americana, a one-size-fits-all health story. Portman’s line echoes that nostalgia, but it also inadvertently shows how advertising lodges in memory as identity. Her enthusiasm is both personal and perfectly pre-shaped by a media moment, which is why it feels so culturally legible: it’s a celebrity confession that doubles as a time capsule of what “healthy” used to look like before everything became a lifestyle ideology.
