A Very Pregnant Natalie Portman Stars In James Blake’s New Music Video
Holy baby bump, Batman!
Natalie Portman—snubbed Oscar nominee nobody talked about—has shed her Jackie O Chanel ensembles for a different role: the star of James Blake’s “My Willing Heart” music video.
The actress and her very large baby bump are shown intimately in black-and-white, swimming and floating in water and lying down on the bed. Portman’s son, Aleph, also makes a brief appearance. As does new-to-the-world baby girl Amalia—who is now outside of her mother’s stomach. Well, sort of. At one point, we see Portman’s stomach move Alien-style as she’s being filmed. Blake, meanwhile, croons over the shots: “The first time your name was used/ It was beauty and I knew.”
The video is a love letter to the young girl and was shot “just days” before Portman gave birth, according to a statement. How the two-times-over mother managed to look as beautiful and prim as she did while on the verge of giving birth is beyond us. Someone get the girl (another) Oscar!
