Natalie Portman's Son Drops Star Wars Bombshell to YouTube Star

Natalie Portman had an interesting and unexpected FaceTime interaction with a YouTube star and it was all due to her 13-year-old son

SHOCKING MOMENT: Natalie Portman Leaves YouTuber Speechless After 13-Year-Old Son Reveals Jaw-Dropping Truth!

The world was left stunned when Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman's 13-year-old son Aleph dropped a bombshell on social media star Marlon LuGu. The unsuspecting YouTuber, who has a whopping 395,000 subscribers, was left speechless after Aleph revealed his mom is none other than the iconic Star Wars character Padme Amidala - aka Natalie Portman herself!

The incident took place during an impromptu video stream when Aleph asked Marlon to give his mom a shoutout. But little did he know that his mom would actually pop up on screen and chat with him! The 44-year-old actress, who was in the midst of getting her hair done, couldn't resist saying hi to the popular YouTuber.

Portman's 13-year-old Aleph walked up to the YouTuber who goes by the name of Marlon while he was out in Paris

As Marlon held the phone, Portman's face appeared on the screen, and she greeted him warmly. "Hi, I'm sorry for disturbing you, I just want to say hi real quick," she said with a smile. The social media star was left starstruck, exchanging pleasantries with the Hollywood A-lister before bidding her adieu.

This shocking encounter has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, leaving fans wondering if Portman's children will ever be fully exposed to the spotlight. It's no secret that she values her privacy and has kept her kids largely out of the public eye since moving to France in 2014.

In a recent interview with Net-a-Porter, Portman credited French culture for giving her family the gift of anonymity. "They're very good at privacy here," she said. "I feel like the biggest compliment is 'elle est très discrète' ['she is very discreet']".

'You know Star Wars ? Padme Amidala?' the teen asked the social media star while he was making some content

The actress has also praised the way French children are raised. "All the kids that come to my house are like, 'Bonjour Madame,' and give me the [cheek-to-cheek kiss]," she said. "And before they leave, they say, 'Thank you for having me.' If I'm not nearby, they'll come find me to say it."

Portman's dedication to her family's privacy is admirable, but this unexpected encounter has raised eyebrows and left fans eager to learn more about her personal life. Will she ever reveal more about her children or keep them firmly out of the spotlight? Only time will tell.
