Eric Bana Does The Gentlemanly Thing And Steps Into ScarJo Vs Natalie Catfight; Loses Eye, Dignity

Our Eric Bana continues to prove what a top bloke he is on his rounds in Hollywood, today taking the time out to let everyone know that the rumoured feud between his The Other Boleyn Girl co-stars Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson is, in fact, not true (although he could have just shut up and stepped aside while the pair pashed on the red carpet, but you know, whatever).

The homegrown hunk went out of his way to insist the screen sisters got on famously while pressing the flesh at the Berlin Film Festival.

“I hate to break it to you but actors really do love each other,” Bana said.

“It’s a crazy job and we put ourselves in vulnerable positions.

“I don’t care if it sounds corny but it’s true – you’re part of a brotherhood, and protect each other.”

While we’re not sure just how Scarlett and Natalie would feel at being called members of a brotherhood, we’re sure they appreciate the sentiment behind it.

However, there is one thing that has been troubling us about this story, and it isn’t Eric’s gender-blind ways or Scarlett and Natalie’s kiss. It’s the photo of the pair of them on the red carpet, in which Natalie reminded us rather alarmingly of someone we haven’t seen for a while. Our Photoshop whizzes have whipped up a little ‘Separated At Birth’ for your delectation:

We don’t want to scare you, Natalie, but you might want to go and get checked out for nodules, you know, as a precautionary measure.

We’ve just got a strong feeling about this, and our grandmother once predicted that the old woman across the road would come down with terrible haemmorhoids, so this sort of premonition stuff is in our blood.
