A video of Natalie Portman’s fourteen-year-old son Aleph meeting popular livestreamer Marlon LuGa in France has gone viral all over social media. In the one and a half minute long clip, the fourteen-year-old bravely walks up to the content creator to ask for a shoutout to his mum.
“Do you know Natalie Portman?” Aleph asked, and when Marlon responded negatively, he briefly mentioned his mother’s work, which helped the social media personality connect a face to the famous name.
“You know Star Wars? Padmé Amidala? Yeah, that's my mum. Can you do a shoutout to my mum?” he asked.
Marlon was shocked about meeting the actress’s son and immediately agreed to give the actress a quick shoutout. One could feel his excitement as he exchanged pleasantries via video chat with the 44-year-old Star Wars actress.
“How are you doing? Hi, I’m sorry for disturbing you. I just want to say hi real quick. Nice to meet you, I’m here with your son. We're about to play a little football.”
The actress asks if they are both enjoying themselves, and LuGa responds affirmatively, expressing his love for the actress again just as the clip ends.
“Appreciate you. Thank you. Nice meeting you, of course, nice meeting you!“
