Have you ever wanted to see Sienna Miller’s side-boob? No? Well, you’re in luck! Sienna Miller decided to go braless in an inappropriate sequined blouse on Regis & Kelly yesterday, and she flashed the audience and the cameras her side-boob. The blouse really was a bad call – the “sleeves” were oversized, so when Sienna lifted her arm even a little bit, you can make out “the full side-boob”. Huffington Post has the footage.
While promoting G.I. Joe in New York yesterday – which, by the way, is so bad the studio isn’t even showing it to reviewers – Sienna Miller got some questions about her ex-fiancé Jude Law and his baby-mama drama. To her credit, Sienna defended Jude and urged privacy, saying, “I don’t think it’s any of our business to talk about that. It’s not mine and it’s not anyone’s. It’s a very private matter, I think.” I’m actually a little shocked that she didn’t reference the nanny, or how she, Sienna, is the real victim. So, yeah. I’ll give her credit for being nice and respectful about her ex.
In other Sienna news, she sat down for a pretty tough interview with the Guardian recently, and the person interviewing her really didn’t let her get away with anything. First, the Guardian journalist declares that G.I. Joe is “insultingly inane, cynically commercial, and almost unwatchably awful.” So, of course, once Sienna found out that the interviewer didn’t like the film, Sienna had to bad-mouth her paycheck a little too, saying “Well, if these films are well done I can find them quite entertaining… But no, I prefer indie, arty films really. It’s not the kind of film I’d normally go and see.” Here are some of the highlights from the Guardian interview:
On Balthazar Getty and being called a “homewrecker”: “I don’t really want to talk about it,” she says quietly, when I bring up the rumpus of last summer. “I just don’t need that, I really don’t. It was like, I – well, I experienced the judgment of a lot of people – and deservedly so.” She stares at the floor, twisting her shoulders. “So that’s it.”
How it would all be different if she was a man, or, say, Johnny Depp : “Well, it is different… It’s difficult being a woman in this – in any – business. I don’t think we live in a particularly equal society. But sometimes that’s down to our own behaviour.” I ask in what way. “Oh, this is such a deep conversation!” she exclaims, throwing her head back. “And I just know I’m going to say the wrong thing. I can feel it coming… I’m not complaining… I just think it’s, uh, interesting. The truth is, if you’re a man it is a lot easier. I would love to be, you know, Johnny Depp; be a great actor and do great choices and be very private, I would love that. But it’s just not – well, you become a target for a certain kind of attention, and it’s hard to shake. And I’ve done a lot of things that have probably inadvertently attracted attention. All sorts of things – just generally the way I live my life, going out, getting pissed, being seen. So I suppose my behaviour, if you look at it from the outside, would seem as if I’ve somehow contributed towards it, or wanted it.”
On “playing the game” with the paparazzi: “They don’t leave you alone. I’ve tried it, and they still follow you all day.” She pauses and then, to my surprise, she admits honestly: “I don’t know. I just don’t want to play the game. Which is stupid, probably, and has caused me a lot of problems. But I just found it really difficult, as a person. Because I didn’t want to adapt, I didn’t want to conform. I didn’t want my life to change. I was probably greedy in thinking that I could have a career and work and stay exactly the same, and have my life and do what I wanted in it. And, actually, that was really naive. I think I was very naive… I’m basically a mass of contradictions. I’ve said things and meant them, but I’m obviously a very confused person who has no idea how they feel about things.”
On being called a hypocrite: She laughs. “I know, I just worry because I know I say a lot, often. I’ve been so careless and loose lipped. Whatever I say, I get myself into trouble. And you know, it doesn’t bother me – but my mother reads it, and just goes, please! It’s more about the people that get affected around me. I think I’d like to protect myself maybe a little bit better, because the repercussions are often quite upsetting – the repercussions of my own mouth upon myself – and I get bollockings. It’s just a lot of drama for – you know, I could keep my opinions to myself, or share them with people who aren’t writing them down. And not change my personality, but be a little bit more guarded and self-protective. But I’m not . . . I try, but I’m not very good at it.”
On taking a media-training course: The producer of GI Joe, she joked last year, had threatened to get her lessons in how to conduct herself in an interview – “and he was only half-joking”. I’m starting to wonder if he saw it through. “They did talk about media training, but,” she adds quickly, looking embarrassed, “I didn’t do it.”

The Johnny Depp part made me angry. It reminded me of the Jessica Biel-Meryl Streep thing. Yes, I get that technically Jessica Biel was trying to say how much she admired Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett, but I was left with the impression that, in Jessica’s mind, she wouldn’t ever have a Meryl Streep-type career because she’s so gorgeous. I feel the same way about Sienna name-dropping Johnny Depp. Obviously, Johnny is an actor adored by other actors, and of course Depp’s name will be repeated over and over by his fellow actors. But taken in context in Sienna’s interview, she sounds like she’s saying that her behavior would be taken differently if she were a man. That’s sort of true, but there’s something else there: that Sienna doesn’t really see the difference between Johnny’s conscious decision to take himself and his family out of the spotlight for the past decade, and Sienna’s “anything goes, especially if you’re married” philosophy.
