* {{Jossed}}:[[invoked]] A tabloid rumor dogged her that she and Hayden Christensen actually had sex on screen for a scene in ''Film/FactoryGirl''. Her publicist denied them, saying that it was merely "good acting". For what it's worth, performing un-simulated sex on screen is illegal via SAG-AFTRA rules, and would render the film pornographic.

She took the role of TheBaroness in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' because, after having to do so many gritty dramas...


Added DiffLines:

** She did the comedy ''Downsizing'' precisely because she rarely gets to do comedies, and the script made her laugh "a lot".


Added DiffLines:

* OldShame:[[invoked]] She's described ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' as a disaster, and feels she wasn't able to properly play a villain.

Her career began in the 2000s, with supporting roles in various British comedies, and the short lived police series ''Keen Eddie''. Notable roles in ''Film/LayerCake'' and ''{{Film/Alfie}}'' brought her to prominence, along with her well-publicised relationship with Creator/JudeLaw. She quickly became tabloid fodder and earned a reputation as a MsFanservice wild child, especially when the relationship ended with infidelity on his part and her next was with married actor Balthazar Getty. This scandalous public image tended to eclipse her screen work, despite getting good critical reviews; her roles in ''Film/{{Stardust}}'' (as an AlphaBitch pitting two men against each other) and in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' (as TheBaroness) were almost LeaningOnTheFourthWall.

She ended up taking a break for a couple of years to get away from the tabloids' obsession, honing her craft on the London stage and Broadway. In TheNewTens, she of course returned to the big screen, now enjoying newer freedom to play more varied parts - including getting to play Creator/TippiHedren in HBO's ''The Girl''. In the middle of the decade, based on her roles in ''{{Film/Foxcatcher}}'' and ''Film/AmericanSniper'', it became something of an internet joke that playing Sienna Miller's husband in a biopic was a death sentence.

As usual, The Other Wiki has [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sienna_Miller more details.]]

!!Tropes associated with her work:

* ActorInspiredElement:[[invoked]] A scene in ''Film/FactoryGirl'' where Edie tells The Musician about her brothers' deaths was completely improvised by Sienna - based off what she knew about Edie's life.
* ApprovalOfGod:[[invoked]]
** Creator/TippiHedren gave Sienna her approval, and said ''The Girl'' was very accurate. They even became good friends during pre-production.
** Taya Kyle did likewise for ''Film/AmericanSniper''. She initially wanted Creator/SandraBullock and worried Sienna would be "too British", but changed her mind after meeting her.
* AwesomeDearBoy:[[invoked]] She took the role of TheBaroness in ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' because, after having to do so many gritty dramas...
--> "I felt like it was time to do something where I wasn't having a breakdown or addicted to heroin or dying at the end, something that was just maybe really great fun and that people went to see and actually just had a great time seeing and weren't left damaged."
* {{Biopic}}: She's actually done quite a few:
** ''Film/FactoryGirl'' - as Edie Sedgwcik, an 'It Girl' from the 60s and 70s associated with Creator/AndyWarhol.
** ''The Girl'' - as Creator/TippiHedren, star of ''Film/TheBirds'' and ''{{Film/Marnie}}''.
** ''Film/AmericanSniper'' - about Chris Kyle, who became the deadliest marksman in US military history. Sienna plays his wife Taya, an author and activist in her own right.
** ''Film/{{Foxcatcher}}'' - about eccentric wrestling enthusiast John du Pont. She plays Nancy Schultz, wife of Dave Schultz, who is hired as a coach [[spoiler: and later murdered]] by John.
** ''Film/TheLostCityOfZ'' - about Percy Fawcett, explorer of South America. Sienna plays his wife Nina.
* CareerResurrection:[[invoked]] The tabloid circus surrounding her private life ended up overshadowing her acting career, so she took two years to appear on the stage instead. The HBO series ''The Girl'' marked a new phase in her career - where she earned more attention for her acting talents.
* CreatorBreakdown:[[invoked]] The paparazzi's obsession with her personal life and the scandalous public image she had ended up affecting her so badly, she took two years away from films.
* DeletedRole:[[invoked]]
** ''Film/{{Foxcatcher}}'''s original cut was four hours, so in the 130 minute cut, a lot of Nancy's screen time is reduced.
** Her part in ''Black Mass'' was entirely deleted due to "narrative choices".
* DyeingForYourArt:[[invoked]] For ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'', she dyed her blonde hair black, weight trained for four months and learned how to box and fire live ammunition.
* EnforcedMethodActing:[[invoked]] In ''Burnt'', she and all the other actors playing the chefs had to prepare food with all the hazards of a real kitchen. They had real chefs as extras in the scenes, adding to the pressurized environment.
* EverybodyLovesBlondes: In the 2000s, this was her initial image; that of the sexy, GoodBadGirl.
* FakeAmerican:[[invoked]] Although born in New York, she was raised in the UK and speaks with an English accent naturally. Half her roles are Americans though.
* HowsYourBritishAccent: There's a scene in ''{{Film/Alfie}}'' where her character Nikki (who's American) briefly imitates an English accent.
* {{Jossed}}:[[invoked]] A tabloid rumor dogged her that she and Hayden Christensen actually had sex on screen for a scene in ''Film/FactoryGirl''. Her publicist denied them, saying that it was merely "good acting". For what it's worth, performing un-simulated sex on screen is illegal via SAG-AFTRA rules, and would render the film pornographic.
* MetaCasting:[[invoked]] Around the time she was enjoying a reputation as a promiscuous homewrecker, she did ''{{Film/Stardust}}'' - playing a RichBitch who plays two men off each other. Notably in the book, Victoria was SpoiledSweet instead.
* MsFanservice: As a former model with a 'wild child' public image, she found herself doing this a lot. She was able to transcend this in TheNewTens.
* RomanceOnTheSet:[[invoked]] She and Jude Law got together while making ''{{Film/Alfie}}''. It ended with infidelity on his part, but got rekindled for a couple of years later.
* SoBeautifulItsACurse: As she was a beautiful young celebrity in the 2000s, she of course was dogged by the paparazzi. At one point, she recalls being chased down an alleyway by ten photographers. The tabloids likewise secretly photographed her doing a nude scene for a film, and published the pictures without her consent
* StarMakingRole:[[invoke]] ''Film/LayerCake'' and ''Alfie'' brought her to prominence.
* ThoseTwoActors:[[invoked]] Not as egregious as most examples, but she and Creator/BradleyCooper literally went from ''Film/AmericanSniper'' to ''Burnt'' together.
