Moby was a hate-target for ‘Star Wars’ “nerds” when he dated Natalie
Portman.

The ‘We Are All Made of Stars’ musician briefly romanced the stunning
actress - who played Queen Padme Amidala, Luke Skywalker’s mother, in three
of the sci-fi movies - in 2000, but admits the relationship angered some
hardcore ‘Star Wars’ fans.

He told Spin magazine: “I guess in some people’s eyes, nerds might be mildly
sexy - and, as a nerd, I’m certainly happy to enjoy some of the effects of
that.

“But as far as the very brief affair that I had with Natalie, it’s made me a
target of a lot of nerd wrath. You don’t date Luke Skywalker’s mom and not
have the fans hate your guts.”

Moby previously admitted his relationship with Natalie quickly fizzled out
as the pair realised they were better suited as friends.

He added: “We dated so briefly that you almost can’t call it dating. She’s
one of my close friends, and has so much more character and substance than
most people I know. At this point, she’s like my cousin. If we were to find
ourselves making out again, it would feel a little incestuous.”
