Arriving straight from the set of Nurse Jackie, Peter Facinelli joined a room full of guests at FINCA’s 25th Anniversary Event at Capitale as they were served dessert. That didn’t stop him from wanting to meet Natalie Portman – as the two exchanged hugs, Peter grabbed the camera from the nearby photographer to take photos of Natalie!
