Portman’s Fiance Defends Her Black Swan Role


Actress Natalie Portman’s fiance Benjamin Millepied has denied allegations that most of the work on the movie was done by her body double.

Portman won an Oscar for her portrayal of Nina, a psychologically troubled ballerina obsessed with perfection.

Millepied, who shares some scene with Portman in the movie, also choreographed the movie. The choreographer, who met Portman while working on the movie denies that the American ballet theatre dancer, Sarah Lane did most of the work, the Los Angeles Times reported.

“It was so believable, it was fantastic, that beautiful movement quality. There are articles now talking about her dance double that are making it sound like Lane did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork and one diagonal in the studio. Honestly, 85 per cent of that movie is Natalie,” Millepied said.

She and Millepied are engaged and are expecting a baby later this year.
