OK!: Ben Affleck is ‘really impressed’ with Sienna Miller, thinks she’s ‘gorgeous’

milleraffleck
I put the source right there in the title so you can make of it what you will, but we know that Ben Affleck is co-starring with and directing Sienna Miller in Live By Night, which is not yet in production. We also know that both Affleck and Miller have a flexible view of fidelity, and that they’re both split from their respective partners. So even if this is pure speculation on OK!’s part, it’s entirely possible. They don’t flat-out say that Affleck and Miller are hooking up, they just claim that Affleck would be into it. Of course he would. He’s part of OK!’s story:

An insider says that with his divorce from Jennifer Garner in progress, sparks are flying [between Ben and Sienna Miller]. “Ben is thrilled to have his freedom,” the source says, adding that he’s “really impressed” with Sienna and thinks she’s “gorgeous.” But watch out, Sienna: Ben has two more movies – and leading ladies – slated for 2016!

[From OK! Magazine, print edition]

Remember all the glowing crap that Affleck said about Blake Lively after he cast her in The Town? Remember that fawning joint interview he did with her? Affleck strikes me as the type of guy who goes for convenience (the nanny) and who needs a lot of admiration and ego-stroking until it gets too serious to handle. Sienna doesn’t give a crap and she doesn’t get too serious. She’s around Ben, so she’s just his type.

Meanwhile there are rumors that Ben Affleck is so good in Batman v. Superman that they gave him more screen time than Henry Cavill’s Superman. Director Zach Snyder told The Daily Beast that Batman necessarily gets more time for backstory because “you just had a whole Superman movie… [and] you need to understand where Batman is with everything.”

    It’s a match made in heaven. Both are equally gross.

    • Luca76 says:

      Eh of the two I like her much better, I also think she’d chew him up and spit him out in seconds. She might even be too smart for him at this point.

    • Heather says:

      Affleck wishes. He is far too basic for her.

      • Kitten says:

        Yeah but he’s separated. Where’s the fun in that?

        Well, maybe when Sienna gets into a serious relationship, Ben will suddenly seem appealing to her.

        We know how this girl rolls.

      • Luca76 says:

        Eh I know about Balthazar Getty but I think in general people are way too harsh on her. Like the fact that Jude Law cheated on her gets glossed over and somehow she is the one that gets the heat for that. And almost no one gives Daniel Craig hell for his ways. Seems like they all just played musical chairs for a while an Sienna gets all the hate while the men go blithely along ( Jude making a baby in every port). And she’s been single and quiet for months now so while I’m not going to say she’s a saint now can’t everyone give her a break?

      • KB says:

        IIRC Jude Law got a whole lotta heat after he got caught cheating. As far as Daniel Craig goes, didn’t that come out years after it happened? Or maybe I just didn’t know of him when it initially came out. Balthazar Getty got hell for it too, they wrote him off of his show.

        I think the difference with Sienna was that she was a tabloid fixture for a while, going out to clubs and becoming known as a party girl or whatever. Daniel Craig, not so much, even if he is a cad.

      • anon33 says:

        How are people “way too harsh” on her? “Barf-a-zar Get Me a Bucket” (name we made up for him when we were teens; it’s still relevant) was married with multiple children and they openly flaunted their relationship. Seems like she got exactly what she deserved.

      • perplexed says:

        Wasn’t she topless on a boat while making out with Balthazar Getty? Maybe the photo was on D-Listed? She was pretty brazen when she was with attached guys.

        I assume Jude Law cheated with everyone, but she seemed to want people to know in a very precise way that she and Balthazar were cheating around. She made Ben Affleck’s nanny look subtle. I assume that’s why she got so much flak – it’s almost like she wanted PR for cheating with someone, which is kind of weird. Maybe she’s really unconventional in her thinking though. Which I personally find odd. But might be normal for her crowd.

      • anna says:

        ha. i was thinking the same thing.

    • Ana says:

      She is too vanilla and kind of bitchy looking.

      Both are well known for serial cheaters in the gossip world.

      • Kosmos says:

        She’s known for being with men who are still married or attached to their partners, so I don’t give her a break here. I think that’s bad form, as they would say in England. And her marriage didn’t last long. If she and Ben did get together, it wouldn’t be long lasting either, just time enough for them to fulfill their lust together then move on to the next one.

    • Denise says:

      Am I missing something re: Sienna and fidelity? I know she was with Balthazar Getty when he was married with (I think) four kids, but unless I’m forgetting something, if that’s the only dodgy relationship she’s had I give her a pass since he was the married one and was likely telling her it was over and done. She was also quite young. She’s been to hell and back with the NoTW wire tapping scandal (never mind dating Jude Law twice). Let’s give her a break.

      • perplexed says:

        I think she gets some flak because of how they both flaunted the relationship. They were sort of tacky about it. I can never remember what her actual face looks like, but for some reason I can remember how tacky she and Balthazar were.

        I don’t know if she was really that young either. Wasn’t she about the same age as Ben Affleck’s nanny is currently? I don’t see anybody saying that the nanny is quite young and that’s why she made a mistake with Ben, and decided to flaunt the relationship.

        That said, I don’t really have any opinion about her career. She hasn’t affected my life so I just kind of shrug when I see articles on her. But I can see why people would judge her.

      • chick b says:

        I think Sienna started to get a bad rep during Jude Law’s marriage. Sadie Frost thought she and Law were trying to work things out but Law kept very publicly going back to Sienna Miller, then Miller acted all butt-hurt when she found out about Jude & the nanny, but then (several years later) it came out that Miller was actually ‘spending time’ with Daniel Craig when Law was with the nanny.

        Also, weren’t there stories about the Primrose people (whatever that is) having orgies and that’s how Miller and Law (with Frost present) initially hooked up? Or did I just make this up in my head because clearly my life is SIGNIFICANTLY duller than any subject of speculation on Celebitchy?

      • Ysohawt1 says:

        The men deserve to be raked over the coals too.

      • perplexed says:

        I think Balthazar Getty did. Didn’t he get fired?

  2. littlemissnaughty says:

    Hahahahaha! It would be glorious. They would implode within 3 months.

  3. L&Mmommy says:

    This would be a delicious pairing. *Rubbing trainwreck genie while cackling.*

  4. perplexed says:

    I can never remember what her face looks like, even though she’d be considered technically pretty (I guess?).

    • HeySandy says:

      Me neither. I remember a local reviewer did a write up on a movie of hers and said something like…”Sienna Miller, someone I wouldn’t recognize if she came in the theater and stole my soft pretzel.” She is beautiful, but not more beautiful then many actresses and not really charismatic imo.

      • Naddie says:

        Yes to that. She’s gorgeous for a woman who passes you by in the street, but on tv she’s pretty, but basic. I can never remember who she is when I watch a film with her, and the lack of talent and charisma doesn’t help either. Plus, she always looks wasted.

    • WinnieCoopersMom says:

      I agree. She is like a poor man’s Naomi Watts.

      • laura in LA says:

        Exactly. Naomi Watts is a standout, a real actress and an interesting one at that. Sienna Miller? I couldn’t pick her out of a lineup.

    • lucy2 says:

      I’ve always felt that way about her too. I remember watching an entire movie with her in it, and at the end thought, well, that part could have been played by anyone. She doesn’t stand out, IMO.

  5. Joni says:

    I feel like he could do a lot better looks wise.

    • Shambles says:

      Funny, I was thinking SHE could do a lot better looks-wise. She’s a radiantly beautiful woman. He’s a moob-tastic douchecanoe who isn’t aging very well. I’m done with these grimy guys getting all the beautiful women.

      • Heather says:

        She’s not only better looking, but more worldly, vibrant and charming. He’s a mass-hole through and through and his cultural education is informed primarily by Vegas cocktail waitresses and 3 day gambling and drinking binges.

      • Kitten says:

        “Worldly”? LOL

        I like Sienna but she’s sketchy as hell. This must be similar to the nanny situation where we give a free pass to women who are serial cheaters.
        Very odd how that consistently happens around here..

      • Naddie says:

        Vibrant? I think she’s quite the opposite. Always looking tired as f**k.

      • Ysohawt1 says:

        Sienna is making a flim with Charlie Hunnam, that’s who I’d go for if I were her.

        🙂

      • sarah says:

        @Heather
        meh, give credit where credit is due. Affleck IS a douche canoe but he’s quite articulate when he wants to be, also a New England/East Coast upbringing & EXTREMELY educated (& liberal) parents. Sienna’s worldyness is less fact and more impression (her boho look & “carefree” personality).. she’s gorgeous tho.

    • Ysohawt1 says:

      She’s beautiful,IMO
      He’s a handsome guy to me, but I think no one should go near Ben for about four years on a serious level.

      • Lauren II says:

        Sienna was gorgeous in Layer Cake – with Daniel Craig.
        There is no bloody way in hell Sienna is as gross as Affleck.
        Ben has zero boundaries in any area of his life. Benny is Lord of the Douches.

  6. Tiffany says:

    Sienna. You in danger, girl.

    Shut this story DOWN.

  7. LSC says:

    Wouldn’t she have been more interested before he split from his wife?

  8. BooBooLaRue says:

    I could see this.

    • Blue says:

      Me too he chose her for his next movie and she is also going through a divorce right now just like him nanny is probably a cover for sienna.

  9. FingerBinger says:

    Ben Affleck was good in a film? That’s laughable.

  10. QQ says:

    LOL … OH OF COURSE Affleck.. You are The Captain No Shit Sherlock of dudebros

  11. Jayna says:

    They are on set together and single. Why not have a fun fling of their chemistry is good. I’m sure it happens all the time.

  12. Mia4S says:

    Too early tabloids! We will be bored of the story when/if they do hook up! Amateurs.

    We need more screen time to understand Batman? Are they stupid? OMG guys! Did you know Batman’s parents were murdered?!? Stunning new information there!

  13. cr says:

    The top of the blue outfit in the last pic is distracting, it looks like she has inverted nipples.
    As for a potential hook-up, it would be great gossip wise.

  14. DarkSparkle says:

    That @sshole from Fashionable Male?

    • Milygu says:

      The Mallrats reference just made me so happy. I don’t think I’ve liked Ben as much in anything since.

  15. meme says:

    I like Sienna…she’s a good actress and that face is gorgeous. So what if she hooks up with Ben?

  16. Shitler says:

    I need this coupling to happen

  17. Sayrah says:

    No surprise. The nanny looks like her in some of the pics.

  18. Hazel says:

    Is Ben auditioning for Sponge Bob? Because he looks so square – with arms attached.

  19. Tig says:

    Those photos of her with the hands around her waist-! Understand the pic is cropped, but such a funny visual!

    You think Sienna will revert back to her partying past? She does have a 2/3(?) yr old now. I’m sure stories like this will make Jennifer believe the divorce is better happening sooner than later. Maybe Batfleck
    can start hanging out with Jon Hamm.

    OT-why no story on the Blake Shelton/Gwen S attraction stories? Sure, prob made up, but 99% of this stuff is! That would be fun to speculate about!

  20. Stacey says:

    She keeps trying to make that stid Swiss milkmaid hair style work. It isn’t.

  21. PixieWitch says:

    Yes, she is gorgeous but Ben, for God’s sake, do you have to stick your dick in everything? It needs a nap.

  22. Freddy Spaghetti says:

    Ha! If this did happen it would be an epic disaster. I don’t know if either of them are that dumb, though. (I can just picture their respective publicists with their fingers in their ears yelling “la la la not happening!”)

    • kay says:

      Both of them have shown to step into situations that everyone else would avoid. He continuously shits on his chances that are given to him all the time and she was allowed a come back which is rare for women but I very much doubt she’ll be able to hide her party nature.

  23. Corrie says:

    While I appreciate the lengths the tabloids go to in order to keep rehashing her past, let’s try to use reality and facts – that was before she turned 30 and before she had a kid and re-emerged career. Can we not as women refer to her as a piece of meat or trash. Let’s see her commit the crime before actively accusing her of already sleeping with Ben. I believe this film got pushed back after nanny-gate. Sienna is on set now with Charlie Hunnam with her kids dad around all the time. I do think Sienna majorly screwed herself over before but I can see how much she paid for it. And to repeat it with Ben, she might as well quit the business because her career would be over. Actors can sleep around with all the costars and nanny’s but actresses cannot and maintain respect and roles in the industry. Never happens.

    • Ana says:

      Didn’t she just end her relationship with her baby daddy?

      Yes, the release date of Live by Night was pushed back to 2017 but filming will start in November.

  24. Chinoiserie says:

    He looks so strange with arms on the sides like that.

  25. Heat says:

    And so begins the never-ending reports on Ben hooking up with every single woman who comes within 10 feet of him (carrying their ten-foot pole).

    • laura in LA says:

      It would probably help if he didn’t gush over them so much, though, just makes him look like a dog in heat.

      (See what I did there?) 😉

  26. Mark says:

    If he starts datin Matt Damon, I would call it newsworth.

  27. Cindy says:

    Uh-oh. Here we go……the speculation on this guys love life will be endless. I think she is too old for him ( in Hollywood years). Also she has a child and I think he is going to want someone under 25, no kids. But I think he will hide who he dates because he doesn’t want to be known as a cliche.

  28. Vampi says:

    Anyone here ever watch “Dora The Explorer”? If so, do you remember the song she sang “backpack, backpack”?
    Well….every time I see Ben I start singing in my head, “Batfleck, batflack…batfleck BATFLACK!”
    *cracks another beer*
    One of those days y’all…lol!

  29. Fran says:

    Casey A. outshines Ben in every way. We need to hear about him more, not bloaty Ben.

    • Jayna says:

      I guess you never read about his sexual harassment lawsuits against him. Casey had his own issues, that after reading about it actually puts Ben above him.

    • lucy2 says:

      Casey is a much more interesting actor, but sounds like an a-hole IRL.

  30. Jeanette says:

    Seems plausable..I also think she would chew him up and spit him out..he is a tool but not a Jude Law level tool and she made that work for how long???

  31. Betti says:

    I can see an affair coming a mile off – she’s def his type, a good time party girl. They are both similar personalities (selfish and self destructive). She will use him to get back into the Hollywood fold – she’s still just circling at the moment.

  32. JenniferJustice says:

    Really?! Who cares what Assfleck thinks of anybody. He scrumped that mediocre sub-par woman who was his children’s nanny, so I don’t give much credence to his taste. He probably does think Sienna is gorgeous. So.

  33. Diane says:

    You know, as a family man – he’ll always have kids, if not a wife – I do hope that he will maintain discretion in how he conducts himself in future. The man has daughters and a son for whom he IS and will continue to be an example. Man-ho is not a good look on a dad. Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to see him in anything because he still makes me shudder.

    • DodieTn says:

      His father didn’t set a good example so doesn’t look like Ben will. His children bless them will have to read all about daddy online when they get older.

  34. belle de jour says:

    I think you can read a lot about their personal character coming through in both their faces. If I were in one of those lab studies and shown these photographs for reaction, my first impression would probably be something like ‘untrustworthy’ or ‘unpleasant’ or ‘off-putting.’

  35. Know-it-all says:

    For Sienna sake I hope she does not go near him infact no woman should let him stay with saint Jen will be punishment from God.

  36. JoJo says:

    They’re both single now, so if they hook up, they’re not doing anything wrong. That said, I honestly think all of this media speculation is going to have the opposite effect on Ben. He cares what people think and worries about his image, so now that the world is watching his every move and speculating about man-whoring, I think he’s going to try to avoid that image and keep it under wraps, whatever he does. In the past, all cheating rumors about him were pure speculation, no real proof – until the nanny, and even then, what has really been proven? But since the nanny has blown up publicly in his face, I think he’ll make an effort to be discreet for a good while until all of this dies down.

    • laura in LA says:

      JoJo, I think he’s a flirt who just can’t help himself from laying on the charm, especially around the ladies because it feels good, like an addict’s high. So even if he doesn’t hookup with one co-star or another, everyone will always assume that he did.

      As long as everyone’s single and copacetic, though, no accidental pregnancies for crissakes, then who really cares? The only problem with having this reputation is that people may still not take him seriously, no matter how much career success he has.

      • JoJo says:

        @Laura – I agree with all your points. And to your last point, I do get the impression he worries obsessively about being taken seriously in his career, which makes me think he’ll try extra hard – for a while at least – to do the opposite of what people are expecting him to do (I.e. he’s not going to jump into a series of flings (but I could be completely wrong!) 🙂

  37. Chantal says:

    I am not the fan of either of those people, but Sienna does not need another man with nanny issues. Stay away Sienna!

  38. perplexed says:

    Maybe no one else wants to be linked with him. I was expecting reports of him hooking up with J-LO and Gwyneth, but maybe he’s so gross now, they were both “heck to the no.”

    • Jayna says:

      Why do people think he will go back to an old flame? It died out for a reason, the bloom off the rose. He loves the newness of a crush. He will have plenty of women to date that he becomes infatuated with. He’s a Hollywood acclaimed director, an A-list actor, at the peak of his power in Hollywood, nice-looking and rich. No one wants to be linked with him? That’s not the way it works no matter how messy some of his life is.

      • perplexed says:

        I was just kidding about the “no one wants to be linked to him” claim. Sienna Miller wasn’t who I was expecting he’d be linked to in the wake of his split from Jennifer, and, uh, the nanny. I’m sure he’ll always have dates since he’s famous and rich (and not ugly).

        I think people speculate about J-Lo and Gwyneth because he talks about them in interviews for some reason I don’t really get. (And Gwyneth, in particular, is someone who doesn’t mind reminding us of who she’s dated). And celebrities in general get linked to old flames by the tabloids, not just him.

  39. HoustonGrl says:

    I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but she just looks so bitchy!

  40. DodieTn says:

    I can see this but I don’t see him hooking up with someone who has children. He has to have all the attention. My contenders are: Jennifer Lawerence, Margot Robbie. Gal G. for a fling as she is married and has a child. I am amazed he can get it up with all the liquor issues. Only so much Viagra can do.

  41. Bridget says:

    Oh good, I’ve been wondering what Batman’s backstory is. Glad someone’s finally delving in to that.

    • chick b says:

      I know, right? Batman’s story is so fresh and new I can’t wait to watch it unfold onscreen for the first time ever.

      Clearly the most amusing PR quote to come out of this whole Batfleck mess,

  42. YvesWestwood says:

    Well she is gorgeous. Fair call.

    “Ben is thrilled to have his freedom”
    That I can believe!

  43. GByeGirl says:

    Going from Daniel Craig to Affleck is such a downgrade.

    • Dinah says:

      Did she or did she not sleep with James Franco while they were making a movie in Canada a few years ago? I read somewhere that Sienna would’ve but that James was bi/more-gay-at-the-time and had his lover, VInce Jolivette, on the set acting like a bitch (the dude who is supposedly Jimmy’s baby mama).

  44. Lindy says:

    Just popping in to wonder what to call them if they’re indeed a thing:
    BeSenna? SiBenna? BeniEnna? SienBen?

  45. KNOW-IT-ALL says:

    when Ben Affleck gets his act together he and Jlo will go at it again the power couple shall be back and Garner can go back to keep pleasing the minivans

  46. darlene says:

    Well she does go for Nannyf*ckers!
