BEIJING, July 25 -- Natalie Portman plays a
Bollywood princess in her boyfriend Devendra Banhart's new music video.
The V for Vendetta actress - who has been dating the
Venezuelan folk singer since April - wears full Indian costume, complete with a
bindi, and must be saved from peril by Devendra's "rebellious beard" in the
promo for Carmensita.
Natalie is seen pouting, fluttering her eyelashes and
giggling throughout the tongue-in-cheek video. Subtitles appear at the bottom of
the screen, including: "The princess whose golden beauty sang through the soul
of heaven waited three full eclipses for her love to return."
By the end of the film, Natalie's character is
reincarnated as an octopus.
Since they began dating, the couple have holidayed in
various locations, including New York and Israel. Before getting involved with
Devendra, Natalie was romantically linked to stars including, Jake Gyllenhaal,
Orlando Bloom, Zach Braff, Moby and Gael Garcia Bernal.
It was recently reported Natalie left movie bosses
fuming after quitting her role as Cathy Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights, the big
screen adaptation of Emily Bronte's classic 1847 novel, despite having "seduced"
them into giving her the part.
A movie insider said: ¡°It's fair to say we were
seduced by her and we should have been on our guard."
