Natalie Portman, 44, usually keeps her family life private while living in Paris with Aleph and eight-year-old Amalia, who she shares with her ex-husband Benjamin Millepied, 48.
While out in the French capital, Aleph approached Swedish star Marlon who was filming content, and casually dropped a surprising fact.
He asked, “You know Star Wars? Padmé Amidala? Well, that’s my mom.”
Then he cheekily added, “Can you give a shoutout to my mom?”
To back up his claim, Aleph pulled out family photos from his phone.
Marlon, clearly taken aback, asked, “That’s your mom?!” to which Aleph confidently replied, “Yeah, that’s my mom.”
Taking full advantage of the moment, Marlon asked Aleph to call Natalie herself.
Moments later, the actress appeared on screen as Aleph said, “Mom, do you want to say hi to Marlon?”
Natalie, who was getting her hair done at the time, greeted the YouTuber warmly: “Hi, I’m sorry for disturbing you, I just want to say hi real quick.”
Marlon replied, “Nice to meet you,” adding, “I’m here with your son real quick, we’re about to play a little football.”
Natalie wished them well despite not being able to hear much, saying, “But I hope you’re having a great day.”
After some small talk, she said goodbye with a friendly, “Have a good one.”
Sharing the story with his 395,000 subscribers, Marlon admitted he was blown away.
“When I was growing up and watched Star Wars really heavily, she was my biggest crush,” he said.
“Very beautiful woman. Very good son. I just want to respectfully say that. That’s insane.”
Natalie, who has lived in Paris since 2014, divorced Benjamin Millepied after 11 years of marriage in 2024.
She met Benjamin — a dancer and director — on the set of 2010 film Black Swan.
He choreographed the ballet-themed movie, for which Natalie won a Best Actress Oscar.
The couple married in 2012 and have two kids.
Israel-born American actress Natalie filed for divorce in 2023, and it was finalised earlier this year in France, where the couple lived together.
And Natalie, who made her acting debut aged 12 in Leon, revealed this year that Rihanna shared some kind words to help her through her divorce.
The Star Wars actress met the 36-year-old for the first time at Paris Fashion Week in January and, after fangirling together, the singer told Natalie something that created a "formative moment."
In the clip, caught on camera, Natalie, 43, told Rihanna, “I love you" who in return, received the reply, “I am a f**king fan.”
The Black Swan star continued, "I’m gonna faint. I’m gonna black out.
"I love you and I listen to your music all the time… You’re just such a queen. Thank you," Natalie continued to praise the Fenty founder.
On Monday, Natalie told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that Rihanna had called her "one of the hottest b****** in Hollywood.
"I think every woman going through a divorce should get to have Rihanna say to her that she's a bad b****," she said.
Jimmy then got to his feet and gave her loud applause.
After they showed the clip of her with Rihanna, Natalie said, "It was exactly what I needed.
"It was a formative moment in my life," she added.
