milablackswan230.jpg Mila Kunis is weighing in on the controversy surrounding Natalie Portman's dancing in Black Swan, and the actress insists that her co-star gave it her all when it came to the film's complicated choreography.

Kunis told Entertainment Weekly, “Natalie danced her a** off. I think it’s unfortunate that this is coming out and taking attention away from [the praise] Natalie deserved and got."

Mila added, “She’ll tell you [that], no, she was not on pointe when she did a fouette [turn]. No one’s going to deny that. But she did do every ounce of every one of her dances ... [Her dancing double] wasn’t used for everything. It was more like a safety net. If Nat wasn’t able to do something, you’d have a safety net. The same thing that I had - I had a double as a safety net. We all did. No one ever denied it.”

Interestingly enough, it was Black Swan choreographer (and Portman's fiance) Benjamin Millepied who started the firestorm when he told The Los Angeles Times last week that "85 percent of that movie is Natalie [dancing]." After his interview was released, body double Sarah Lane fired back and told EW, "On the full body shots, I would say 5 percent are Natalie ... I mean, from a professional dancer's standpoint, she doesn't look like a professional ballet dancer at all and she can't dance in pointe shoes. And she can't move her body, she's very stiff."

After that, Fox Searchlight Pictures and director Darren Aronofsky released statements backing Millepied's claim, and while Portman herself hasn't commented on the matter, it seems as though no one else is on Lane's side...
