Devendra Banhart stars alongside girlfriend Natalie Portman in his latest music video, for the song "Carmensita." In the Bollywood-style video, Banhart portrays a prince with a "rebellious" beard who is trying to win (what else) the love of a princess, played by Portman, whose dad is a real stick in the mud.
This entertaining video reminded us of previous instances in which musicians have featured their girlfriends in music videos.
By including Portman in his video, Banhart joins these illustrious ranks:
Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley – "Uptown Girl" Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minillo – N/A The Cars’ Rick Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova – "Drive" Whitesnake’s David Coverdale and Tawny Kitaen – "Here I Go Again" Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson – "Welcome to Planet Boom"
Thanks to Ria for some of these suggestions (I had no idea how tospell "Nick Lachey," let alone professing any degree of familiarity withhis work).
