Sienna Miller says she's not bitter about losing out on Robin Hood role to Cate Blanchette
In a rare flash of actress un-bitchiness, Sienna Miller has magnanimously declared that she is not upset about losing out on the role of Maid Marian in the upcoming Robin Hood film to Cate Blanchette, saying that she thinks the Aussie Oscar winner will be better than her.
The actress, who was rumoured to have been passed over for the part because she made Russell Crowe look podgy and old (a pretty nice reason to lose out on something), said: "There was nothing salacious. The script kept changing and evolving, to the point where I was no longer appropriate for it. Cate's ten years older than me, which is more suitable for the script.
"If they'd recast it with Keira Knightley, I'd have been heartbroken, but they've gone for something different - and better, in my opinion. If I had the choice between Cate Blanchett and me, I'd go for Cate Blanchett!"
