Sienna Miller recalls 'insidious' fascination with Jude Law relationship - Yahoo Entertainment
Sienna Miller slips into an unfortunately familiar role in Netflix's upcoming show Anatomy of a Scandal, playing a woman who's husband confesses he had an affair. The 40-year-old actress wasn't cheated on by her husband years ago, but by her fiancé: Jude Law.
The actors, who met in 2003 filming Alfie, were tabloid fodder before Law had an affair with his children's nanny. Law publicly apologized to Miller in 2005 "for the pain that I have caused," adding he's "deeply ashamed and upset that I've hurt Sienna." Miller told Elle U.K. the role was "was familiar terrain, because I’ve experienced some of the things that she experienced."
"And the feelings were familiar. [But] her way of dealing with what's thrown at her is the absolute antithesis of what my way is. And so, in a kind of twisted, tourism sense, I just wanted to see how it would feel to react differently. I know that sounds weird," she explained, "because you’d think it would be deeply unpleasant to sit in that space."
Filming the scene where the husband confesses to the affair elicited a big reaction from Miller.
"I had a mic on my chest and there's a heartbeat that comes in. It was my actual heartbeat being picked up by the monitor, getting faster and faster," she recalled. (The unscripted moment is apparently kept in the show.) "It made me think, remember and put myself back in that position." The actress laughed, "I really must need help, if this is what I enjoy doing!"
Miller added, "There is something cathartic, I suppose, about spending time in an ugly space that's familiar. And maybe reclaiming it? I don't know what the psychology of it is. But there is something where maybe you can substitute a memory with something else."
The American Sniper star recalled the media frenzy surrounding her and Law's relationship as "frenzied" and "insidious."
