Sultry blonde and serial heart stealer Sienna Miller is taking time for a bit of fun, writes Donna Walker-Mitchell.
Sienna Miller is laughing at her reputation as one of the world's most stylish women.
"Glamorous?" she asks in her English accent, her blue eyes widening.
"Name me one woman who doesn't have insecurities about herself. I definitely feel insecure at times."
Not that you'd know it today. Dressed in grey pants by Topshop and a black silk top that finishes just above the hip, Miller wears two silver Chanel chain bracelets on her right wrist and fluorescent-yellow Christian Louboutin flats that resemble '50s wing tips. She looks every inch the style maven.
"I can assure you, most mornings I don't feel fabulous and glamorous," she says, looking out at the view of Los Angeles from her window. "But I think that's part of being a woman, don't you?"
She takes a sip of her coffee, then quickly adds: "I'd love to meet a woman who does feel fabulous and glamorous every day, though. I don't think I've ever met one who wakes up in the morning and goes, 'Yes!"' she laughs, pumping her fists in the air. As she does, her top lifts up slightly, revealing her tanned and toned stomach.
Bubbly and self-deprecating, the 27-year-old star says the times she wakes up feeling "OK" are usually when she's on holidays.
"You know those times when you're on holidays and you've got a bit of a tan?" she asks. "That's good. But in the climate I live in, it's hard to feel anything other than cave-like in the depths of winter."
Miller calls England home and she recently bought a 16th-century thatched cottage in the picturesque Cotswolds, about a two-hour drive from London, where she also has a place.
When she talks about her cottage, her eyes light up. "It needs cleaning right now," she laughs. "But I love it."
Miller says she wants her home to be self-sufficient. "I'm planting a vegetable patch and a garden. That's what I've been working on and that's what I find really relaxing. I like having the balance of that amidst all this craziness."
The craziness Miller is talking about, among other things, is her life as a paparazzi magnet. Primarily, it's her relationships that have created the most headlines. Back in 2006, she split with fiance and fellow actor Jude Law after two years. He cheated on her with Daisy Wright, the nanny of one of his children, and Law publicly apologised to his fiancee, expressing his "sincere regret" for hurting her. Miller then dated Welsh actor Rhys Ifans for a year, before moving on to Brothers And Sisters star Balthazar Getty, which sent the tabloids into overdrive as he was married with four children when they met.
Mention the paparazzi to Miller and she rolls her eyes ("Don't get me started"), although she says her life is remarkably different since she successfully sued London's Big Pictures agency in a landmark case last November, winning $108,000 and stating her life had been made "intolerable" by them.
"It's the difference between night and day for me now," she says. "I actually have a life now. I can walk around and take my niece out to the park and not have 20 men calling me names in front of my little niece. It's illegal for them to follow me in cars or sit outside my house."
Now, Miller says, she can concentrate on what she loves most, which is acting.
"Ever since I was a little girl, this is what I wanted to do," she says.
The daughter of Edward Miller, a US banker turned Chinese art dealer, and South African mother, Jo, who ran the Lee Strasberg Acting Academy in London and was a former secretary to David Bowie, Miller says she remembers a time when acting on the big screen seemed a far-off dream.
"I was the girl who did the school plays but never got the good roles," she says. "They would always invent ones for me. I remember I was in Joseph And The [Amazing] Technicolour Dreamcoat and I was Potiphar's helper. I sat on stage with a big leaf fanning it for three hours, thinking: 'I'm being wasted."'
After getting her first film role in South Kensington in 2001, Miller went on to star in movies such as Layer Cake, Alfie (opposite Law) and Factory Girl.
In her latest film, G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, Miller stars as the leather-clad Baroness, a mix of naughty and nice.
"I think I got to a point where I really just wanted to make a film that was really entertaining," she says of her preference before G.I. Joe for more independent films.
"You know, I put myself through quite a lot doing the roles that I'd done and it gets pretty emotionally exhausting after a while. I just wanted to have fun."
Despite enjoying Los Angeles when she's in town, Miller describes herself as "definitely an English girl".
"I have a great time when I'm here but I do miss a good pub," she laughs. While many actors have moved across the pond, Miller says she isn't about to follow.
"I was brought up in England and that's where my family and friends are, so I'd miss them too much," she says. "Besides, I like cooking up a good old organic roast on Sundays for everyone and having them over at my home, just hanging out."
G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra opens on August 6.
NOTES
Spend any time with Sienna Miller and it's obvious why men fall in love with her.
She is prettier in person, with her elfin face and tanned skin. A male colleague spots her in the hallway of the Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles and as she walks past with the energy of a hummingbird, flitting from one room (hair and make-up) to another for interviews, he seems to have forgotten how to form a sentence. "Wow," he says.
Talk to Miller about her effect on men, though, and she seems unaware.
"Oh, come on," she says, brushing it off quickly and shaking her head.
