Portman set for Paris ballet role

Natalie Portman is taking her ballet skills to Paris.

The 32-year-old star is relocating to the French capital with her family, including her husband Benjamin Millepied and their two-year-old son, Aleph.

Quizzed about the move, she told HELLO! magazine she was "very excited".

"My husband has made me director of dance at the Paris Opera Ballet and starts next year. I love Paris," she said.

"I've worked there for a few months at a time, but neither of us ever lived there before - my husband is from Bordeaux. It's everyone's dream to live in Paris at least for a while, so there is a wonderful opportunity for us."

The Black Swan actress said she is also worried about the availability of vegan food in the European hot spot.

"I've been vegetarian since I was nine and vegan on and off," she said.

At the moment we live in Los Angeles near Thai Town so we eat a lot of good vegan Thai food and there are also great pasta places nearby - a good pasta is probably my favourite dish. Paris is getting better for vegans - you can get anything there if you know where to look."
