Natalie Portman can rest a little easier after a judge on Tuesday granted her a permanent restraining order against a man who allegedly showed up at her house and claimed to be fictional assassin John Wick.
Portman's restraining order against the man will last for five years and bars him from coming within 100 yards of her, her husband, and their two children.
As The Blast first reported, on January 31, 2019, Natalie Portman reported a man trespassing on her property. The officer who filed the report claims the man “rang the intercom/doorbell multiple times but said nothing when attempts to engage him were made over the intercom.”
According to the petition, when officers made contact with the man, “he identified himself as John Wick, even though officers had his Colorado Driver’s License which confirmed his true identity.”

The officers say the man told them “that he had spoken to the reporting person several times, telepathically, and that he had traveled from Colorado to Los Angeles to meet the individual.”
In the petition, the detective says when he and his partner tried to speak with the man and call him by his name, he would not respond; but he did respond when they called him “John,” but “his responses were limited and delayed.”
The man was eventually placed on a mental hold and the detective filed a petition for a firearms restraining order, which was granted.
