The 26-year-old actress was reportedly too thin for the part
and there were fears should would make co-star Russell Crowe look bad during
some of the intimate scenes. Crowe, 44, has not shed the four stone he gained
for his role in the recent Body Of Lies, where he played a former journalist
who hunts down terrorists from his armchair.
Fearing his older, gutsier Robin would look 'laughable'
alongside her petit Marian, Miller was canned from 'Nottingham', a £110million
remake of the Robin Hood tale. An insider told the New York Post: 'It is a
mess. Russell never lost the weight he put on for Body Of Lies and so the love
scenes between him and Sienna would have been laughable. He's so old and fat
and she's so young and gorgeous.
'Word is that producers are "looking for an older,
plumper actress to play the role so Crowe doesn't look like a paunchy grandpa.
Someone in her late 30s or early 40s".' Things just seem to be going from
bad to worse for Sienna Miller of late.
In November she was dropped from Guy Ritchie's movie Sherlock Holmes - apparently after her ex, Jude Law, agreed to play Dr Watson. She also faced a torrent of criticism over her affair with married billionaire Balthazar Getty, 33.]
Oh, what a difference a year makes! Is it ironic that Jude and Sienna reunited in time for the Sherlock Holmes premiere (though, admittedly, he didn't take her to the red carpet event)? I guess she didn't hold any hard feelings about being dropped from the film. She's getting something else hard from Jude, so I'm sure that cancels out the grumpies! Now, my only question is - how does recasting the role of Maid Marion with Cate Blanchett fulfill the "older, plumper" requirement?
Well, I was going to comment but then I realized vicious little blogs like this. Really. Aren't. Worth. The Effort.
