The exact date of birth of the first son of Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied is not known. Even so, months later, the press found out that the two also tied the knot in an intimate ceremony, but no further details were made public. A few months after she gave birth to Aleph Portman Millepied, Natalie Portman was seen out and about in New York City. As she was running errands, the paparazzi observed that the actress was in perfect shape, a few months short after having her son.

Not even a year after birth, Natalie Portman looks amazing and her body bounced back perfectly.

Dior couldn’t have chosen a better ambassador than Natalie Portman.

Her job in The Black Swan did not only brought her an Oscar, but also a fiancée.

Short after the ceremony where the actress received her first Academy Award, she gave birth to her first child.

She named the baby boy to honor her Jewish heritage and plans to teach him Hebrew, too. Although there were rumors that Natalie Portman married Millepied, the actress did not respond to them.

In fact, Natalie Portman met her now fiancée and father of her child on the set of Black Swan, the choreographer Benjamin Millepied.

Considering her descendants, no wonder that she speaks both English and Hebrew fluently. Natalie Portman is very close to her parents, and she loves them a lot. She even said that later in her life, she would like to become a doctor, like her father. Natalie Portman was not your average child, as she was a promising kid even since she was only a little girl. At the early age of 4, she started taking dancing lessons, and she never stopped ever since. Natalie Portman is a vegetarian, and this is not a strange thing, but what people do not know is that she has been a vegetarian since she was only 8 years old. Natalie Portman is a strong animals’ rights advocate, and as you could see, she became aware of this situation when she was little. This is not the only proof of her intelligence, though.

Throughout the years, Natalie Portman turned down many roles, in movies like ‘The Ice Storm’ and ‘The Horse Whisperer’. This is because she does not want to be a typical American actress and to have small and insignificant parts. Natalie Portman has always been interested in roles that would say something to the audience, because she wants to be a role-model for girls her age. Her beauty is not to be ignored, either, as Natalie Portman was voted one of the sexiest and most beautiful women in the world for many times, by many publications, and she even inspires designers like Zac Posen. There are many more things that people do not know about Natalie Portman, but there is no doubt that she has it all and that she is someone to look up to.

 Fortunately, Natalie Portman did not lose any of them. She was a successful lecturer, research assistant and a co-author of two research papers. Even since early childhood, Natalie Portman started taking dancing lessons and she spent her holidays participating in theater camps. She said that she worked a lot and she was a very ambitious child. She was also very serious and she knew what she wanted. She acted in beautiful movies such as Where The Heart Is, Garden State, Closer, V For Vendetta or My Blueberry Nights.

Natalie Portman movies are very difficult, but she has an amazing talent that impressed both the producers and the audience. In 2010, Natalie Portman demonstrated once again that she is a very talented actress by acting in Black Swan movie. In Black Swan, Natalie Portman gave one of her best and unforgettable performances. For this role, she had to work a lot and the daily workout was very exhausting. Fortunately, Natalie Portman knows what working very hard means, so she gave the best of her talent. She won an Oscar for this movie, but controversies arose. However, in 2011, Natalie Portman acted in No Strings Attached, but she was also the producer of this movie. She has a son with Benjamin Millepied, a ballet dancer. Natalie Portman is a talented actress and also a smart woman who will be an important part of the American movies history.

Natalie Portman received the best reviews for her performance and we can surely say the same thing about Mila Kunis, who starred alongside Natalie, the Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis sex scene being highly appreciated by many fans. Well, soon after Natalie Portman got nominated in Best Actress category for the Oscars, the scandal broke, as a ballet dancer claimed that Natalie was not the one who performed the scenes on the movie, dancing scenes for which she was mostly appreciated, as the professional dancer did them all, while Natalie only performed during the most simple dancing routines. The woman, Sarah Lane, also claimed that only about 5 percent of the dancing scenes were filmed by Natalie Portman, while the rest was all her. And in fact, this was the aspect most appreciated when it comes to Natalie Portman’s Black Swan role, and the one that brought her the Oscar. Natalie declared that she took a year off to prepare for the movie, time in which she trained to be able to dance the way she did. Natalie had been doing ballet also as a child, so getting back into shape was all she needed. However, Sarah Lane claimed that Natalie could not dance the way we all see her in the movie only after a year of practice, as for professional dancers it takes more than 20 years of hard work to be able to perform perfectly during so complicated dance routines.

Well, Natalie Portman never claimed that she made herself all the complicated dancing scenes that we see in the movie and she actually admitted to have had a double, thing which really is a normal one. Still, the scandal was huge at the time of The Oscars, but despite all that, Natalie Portman deserved the title of Best Actress with her Black Swan role. And Natalie Portman Black Swan performance also helped the actress find love, as she now has a child with Benjamin Millepied, who she met while working at the movie.

2010 Started Her Momentum

2010 was a big year for Natalie Portman. Her two movies for this year were Hesher and Black Swan.

Many people aren’t familiar with Hesher. The reason is it actually wasn’t widely released until May of this year. While it probably won’t get the attention of her other movie, it put her in a challenging role and allowed her to share the screen with the just as talented Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Black Swan was Portman’s huge movie of 2010. This movie was directed by Darren Aronofsky, who was also responsible for The Wrestler, Requiem for a Dream and Pi. Natalie starred in this movie alongside Mila Kunis.

This movie was a smashing success at the box office. Although it had a budget of only $13 million, it went on to make over $310 million at the box office!

2011 – Oscar Victory and Three More Movies

Not only was Black Swan a huge hit at the box office, but it lead to her winning her first Oscar on February 27th. Although she had been nominated for best supporting actress in 2005, her lead actress role in Black Swan resulted in her first actual win.

As if this wasn’t enough, Portman is in three more movies this year. Her contribution to No Strings Attached resulted in the film pulling in $147 million. Although her second film Thor had a huge budget of $150 million, it went well into the black by pulling in $411 million.

And while her third movie of the year didn’t do well at the box office, it did give her the chance to work with James Franco and Danny McBride.
