Natalie Portman’s rarely seen son sweetly flaunted his famous mom to impress a Twitch star.
Portman’s 14-year-old child, Aleph, was seen FaceTiming the “Jackie” actress in a video shared by gaming streamer Marlon Lundgren Garcia.
In the short clip, Aleph was seen excitedly approaching the internet personality to ask if he knew who Portman was.
“No, I don’t think so, why?” the gamer, who goes by Marlon, responded to the child.
Aleph explained that the actress was in “Star Wars,” prompting Marlon to reply in shock, “That’s your mom?”
The video then transitioned to Aleph video-calling Portman on his iPhone so Marlon could give her a virtual shoutout.
“You want to say hi to Marlon?” Aleph asked Portman. The Hollywood star then greeted Marlon with a laugh.
“How are you doing? Hi! I’m sorry for disturbing you,” Marlon told Portman as he took the phone from Aleph.
“I just wanted to say hi real quick,” he added.
Portman, who was seen getting her hair done on the phone screen, told him it was “nice to meet” the YouTuber.
Marlon explained that he was with her son “about to play a little football.” However, Portman had trouble understanding what he was saying.
“I’m sorry, I like, can’t hear anything but I hope you’re having a great day!” Portman said with a smile.
Marlon told the “No Strings Attached” star that it was nice to meet her and thanked her for her time before hanging up the phone.
The internet star, who boasts 2.3 million TikTok followers, explained that Portman was his “biggest crush” growing up.
“Very beautiful woman, very good son, I just want to respectfully say that,” he said. “But that’s insane.”
Portman, 44, shares Aleph as well as daughter Amalia, 8, with her ex‑husband Benjamin Millepied.
The “May December” star recently explained why she keeps her kids relatively out of the spotlight in a conversation with Jenna Ortega for Interview Magazine published in April.
“I’m not a particularly private person in real life — I’ll tell you anything — but in public, it was so clear early on that if you tell people how private you are, your privacy gets respected a lot more,” she explained.
“I set up a little bit of a barrier to be like, ‘I’m not going to do photo shoots with my kids,’” she added.
Portman and the French choreographer tied the knot in 2012 — but they divorced after 11 years of marriage when the movie producer allegedly had an affair.
