Just days before Natalie Portman gave birth to her daughter Amalia, she was the subject of an intimately shot, black and white music video.
Set to James Blake’s song “My Willing Heart,” the video features a very pregnant Portman revealing her bare belly as she swims, lies in bed wearing silky pajamas and shows off her soon-to-be born baby’s kicking feet.
Anna Rose Holmer, the video’s director, took to Twitter to call Portman “generous” for starring in Blake’s song about “love+wonder.”
Directed a video w/ the generous #NataliePortman to an ethereal @jamesblake song about love +wonder. Shot by the brilliant #NatashaBraier.? https://t.co/QVfXTnjAMt
