#I'veGotYouCovered

#VogueJanuary2015

Sienna Miller covers the January 2015 issue of Vogue Magazine in Burberry Prorsum coat photographed by Mario Testino.

Sienna Miller is on an undeniable hot streak. Staring in the wrestling drama Foxcatcher, in which she has a supporting role. Next up is American Sniper, a gripping real-life story of the late decorated U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, starring Bradley Cooper as Kyle and directed by the flinty American icon Clint Eastwood. After that comes Unfinished Business, a comedy with Vince Vaughn, and the Boston-mobster saga Black Mass, with Miller the moll to Johnny Depp’s Whitey Bulger. Somewhere in there is Mississippi Grind, with indie auteurs Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, and High-Rise, a J. G. Ballard drama with Jeremy Irons. Miller is also signed on for the upcoming Amazon mystery The Lost City of Z, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Pattinson, and Live by Night, Ben Affleck’s much-anticipated follow-up to his Oscar-winning Argo.
Miller says conspiratorially. “I’m trying to be cool about it. But secretly inside, I’m dancing.”

“I was overwhelmed by how normal it felt,” she says of motherhood. “It was like, ‘There you are—that’s what I have been missing.’ Like we’re both in on something only we know. An amazing sense of being complicit with a little being.” There is also Marlowe’s father, actor Tom Sturridge, 29, whom Miller began quietly seeing in 2011. She describes Sturridge as a “grounded, intelligent, kind, and intact person. . . .“That’s amazing to be around,” she says. “That’s the father of my child. There’s no drama.”
“I’m painting it as very boring! No, it’s not,” she says. “It’s a living hell!”
She continues. “We go to the country. I like to cook and go to Whole Foods. I have a dog”—a Newfoundland—“not a dog but a bear, who when I walk pulls me over flat on my face into the mud. My baby pukes on me. It’s life. It’s very much a normal life.”
She smirks. “I really don’t want to sound boring,” she says slyly. “It’s completely crazy and illicit behind closed doors.”

On social media: Is it Twittering or Tweeting?” Sienna Miller asks, before answering her own question. “Tweeting. I find it weird, that word. It just sounds babyish. There’s something so ridiculous.” Trying to explain her aversion to the modern madness of social media. Miller does not have a Twitter feed, which is a loss for the Internet. Famous people on Twitter tend to be morbidly boring—140 characters of self-promotional drywall. Miller is not that. At 33, she is witty and brash and occasionally foulmouthed and famously prone to speaking her mind, even when that might not be wise. “It would be a minefield,” Miller says, shaking her head. “If someone attacked me, I definitely would retaliate.”
She did have a brief fling with Instagram. But, she confesses, it “fueled the worst part of my soul.” “It was the most addictive thing,” she says. “Every morning I’d wake up and there would be a thousand more followers or whatever and there would be these amazing greetings like ‘Welcome! We love you!’ ” She laughs nervously. “I’d be inflated by this nonexistent, intangible love. I was like, ‘I need to get off this.’ ” “Ultimately it leaves you feeling incredibly lonely,” Miller says. “I know friends who are prolific on social media, and it gives them a lot of anxiety. That level of exposure. . . .”

 

 

On overcoming a perception problem in Hollywood: “It’s undeniable that I did have a reputation as someone who was a little bit wild, maybe,” she says. “Not with anyone I worked with. I was never late to work, and when I was on set, I was very professional. But . . . I think for a while, my public perception was a hard thing to overcome because people had such a strong preconceived idea of who I was.”
To overcome it, she would have to go out and grab opportunities. Miller had more than ten years’ worth of film and stage work, movies like Layer Cake and Factory Girl and The Edge of Love, and a 2009 turn on Broadway in Patrick Marber’s After Miss Julie. Two years later she appeared on the London stage opposite James Purefoy in Terence Rattigan’s Flare Path. Then, in 2012, she played Hitchcock muse Tippi Hedren in the HBO film The Girl, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination. But Miller wanted more. Good parts, good films, good directors.
