Sienna Miller was recently dumped from Nottingham ‘because she’d make co-star Russell Crowe look old and fat’
It is a role that traditionally lends itself to women on the thin side.
But after being hired to play Maid Marian in a forthcoming Robin Hood remake, Sienna Miller has now been dumped from the role.
The 26-year-old actress was reportedly too thin for the part and there were fears should would make co-star Russell Crowe look bad during some of the intimate scenes.
Crowe, 44, has not shed the forty pounds he gained for his role in the recent Body Of Lies, where he played a former journalist who hunts down terrorists from his armchair.
Fearing his older, gutsier Robin would look ‘laughable’ alongside her petit Marian, Miller was canned from ‘Nottingham’, a $160 million remake of the Robin Hood tale.
An insider told the New York Post: ‘It is a mess. Russell never lost the weight he put on for Body Of Lies and so the love scenes between him and Sienna would have been laughable. He’s so old and fat and she’s so young and gorgeous.
‘Word is that producers are “looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so Crowe doesn’t look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s”.’
Things just seem to be going from bad to worse for Sienna Miller of late.
In November she was dropped from Guy Ritchie’s movie Sherlock Holmes – apparently after her ex, Jude Law, agreed to play Dr Watson.
She also faced a torrent of criticism over her affair with married billionaire Balthazar Getty, 33.
Nobody for Miss Miller was available for comment.
