Natalie Portman Beach Pictures With Christian Bale on Set

Natalie Portman and Christian Bale held hands on the beach in Malibu yesterday as they filmed Knights of Cups. The duo met up for the sunset shoot and got playful in the sand, including one scene where Christian put Natalie's hair in a ponytail. Christian is switching gears to his next project ahead of the Summer release of The Dark Knight Rises. While doing press for the action film, Christian opened up about dating Drew Barrymore, though their relationship apparently only lasted one night.

Natalie, meanwhile, has been busy focusing on family. Natalie and her son, Aleph, hung out at an LA park last week. Last month, though, she was in NYC to join husband, Benjamin Millepied, for a night at the NYC ballet.
