Benjamin Millepied Defends Natalie Portman's Dancing

Natalie Portman takes her dog, Whiz, for a walk on Thursday (March 24) on a chilly day in New York City.

The 29-year-old expectant mama was spotted taking Whiz out yesterday, too.

Nat‘s fiance, Benjamin Millepied, recently defended her dancing in Black Swan after articles questioned how much footage from the movie showed a body double and not Nat herself.

“There are articles now talking about her dance double that are making it sound like [her body double] did a lot of the work, but really, she just did the footwork, and the fouettes, and one diagonal phrase in the studio,” Benjamin told the L.A. Times. “Honestly, 85 percent of that movie is Natalie.”
