Listen up, Natalie Portman.

Just because you play one bonkers ballerina in Black Swan, it doesn't make you any less fit to play a mother in real life.

Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky assures us that the Golden Globe-winning actress will make for one perfect parent...

"She'll be an amazing mom," Aronofsky told us at last night's Director's Guild Awards in Hollywood, "Because she's very organized. She's very considerate. She's feeling. She'll be amazing."

As for Portman's on-set romance with hubby-to-be Benjamin Millepied, Aronofsky says, "I don't know where their chemistry starts or ends. I'm just happy it worked out. And it's nice, [because] I introduced them. I didn't introduce them for that! But I introduced them to work together."

Sounds like the Oscar-nominated actress has a lot to thank her Black Swan director for!

"Exactly," he laughed. "I gotta start taking advantage of that!"
