Natalie Portman provided some of the information used in the newly-released The Social Network, according to reports on Thursday.

Portman attended Harvard between 1999 and 2003 and provided some details to the film’s creators on what was happening in the student body, the Entertainment Weekly reported.

“Natalie Portman got in touch with me when she heard that I was doing this to say, ‘Listen ... come over for dinner and I’ll tell you some stories,” the film’s screenwriter Aaron Sorkin told Harvard students during a screening of the film. “I would’ve come over for dinner under any circumstances. But that was really helpful.”

Mark Zuckerberg, in the film, creates Facebook using models of some of Harvard’s elite clubs.

The clubs are secretive and so Portman, who dated a Harvard student in the Porcellian club, disclosed some insider secrets about the happenings at the Ivy League school.
