Movie stars steal from their own sets all the time — especially Star Wars cast members.

That includes Natalie Portman, who told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show what she's thieved from set, while promoting her new heist adventure Fountain of Youth.

“I took the lighter from Jackie, that was cool, it was monogrammed," Portman said. "I took one of Anakin’s braids from Star Wars," she added. "They had that clip-on, and there were like, 30 of them because he had to have a new one every day, a freshie."

"Did anyone know you were doing this?” asked Colbert. “Did George [Lucas] know? So this is how he’s finding out.”

"I lost it, so I can’t give it back," Portman replied.

Glad to know there's one of Hayden Christensen's Attack of the Clones Anakin Skywalker clip-on braids floating around in the world somewhere. One of 30 at least.
