AceShowbiz - Natalie Portman has been granted her request for a restraining order against an alleged trespasser calling himself John Wick.
The actress called in the authorities after the man, who has not been publicly identified, reportedly gained entry to her gated community in Los Angeles on 31 January and showed up at her front gate.
A police report of the incident, obtained by The Blast, reads, "(The man) rang the intercom/doorbell multiple times but said nothing when attempts to engage him were made over the intercom."
When cops showed up to investigate, they confronted the intruder, who claimed his name was John Wick - the same moniker used by Keanu Reeves' assassin character in the 2015 movie of the same name.
However, officers found a Colorado Driver's License in his possession, which provided them with his real identity, and then had him placed on a mental hold after telling cops he "had spoken to the reporting person several times, telepathically, and that he had traveled from Colorado to Los Angeles to meet the individual".
The suspect was also slapped with a firearms restraining order by the lead detective.
Meanwhile, Portman filed legal papers requesting the temporary restraining order in court on Wednesday, February 20, and now her motion has been granted.
Under the terms of the protective order, the alleged stalker must stay at least 100 yards away from the "Black Swan" star, her husband, choreographer Benjamin Millepied, and their young children, Amalia and Aleph.
A follow-up hearing has been scheduled to take place in March, when Portman will likely seek to make the restraining order permanent.
