Actress Natalie Portman and dancer Benjamin Millepied arrive at the 83rd Annual Academy AwardsNatalie Portman's beau Benjamin Millepied is taking his turn as a fragrance spokesmodel.
The dancer and Portman's co-star in the Oscar-winning film "Black Swan" will be the face of Yves Saint Laurent's men's fragrance L'Homme Libre.
Portman is the face for the Christian Dior's fragrance Miss Dior Cherie.
Millepied, 33, told Women's Wear Daily that he hadn't taken the idea of modeling seriously because dancers don't usually get the chance to star in tony ad campaigns.
"It wasn't one of my preoccupations at all," he told WWD at an event at N.Y.C. restaurant Indochine to celebrate his new role at YSL. "The positive thing is that I'm a dancer, and it's not usually the sort of thing ? it's always actors and models."
Benjamin Millepied posed for Club Monaco for its fall 2010 campaign.
Millepied said that he learned a bit from fianc�e Portman who starred in Dior's print and television ads for the fragrance.
It's not his first time working as a professional mannequin.
The New York City Ballet principal dancer lent his good looks and athletic frame to Club Monaco for its fall 2010 campaign.
He said that he was getting ready for impending fatherhood.
"Yes, yes, yes," he said.� "As prepared as I could be but looking forward to it very much."
Portman, who is near the end of her pregnancy, was notably absent from the YSL event, WWD reported.
