According to a report in Emerald City, Natalie enrolled her two children in the same school as Hollywood pals Isla Fisher and Sasha Baron Cohen.

Thor is only just starting to take shape as filming began at Fox Studios in Sydney earlier this month.
The film will see Natalie’s character, astrophysicist Jane Foster, take up the mantle of Thor after transforming into a female version of the Norse god.
‘It’s going to be really silly and funny and great,’ Natalie recently said of the project.

Explaining how she was approached for the film, she told ET last year how exciting the project was to her.
‘They came to me with the idea and said, ‘We have this idea for you that was a storyline in some of the comics where Jane becomes Lady Thor,’ and I was like, ‘This is very exciting!”
Natalie was absent for 2017’s Thor: Ragnarok, but was a key player in the first two Thor films in 2011 and 2013.
