Sienna Miller says shes reached a point of nihilism in her acting career – The Independent

Sienna Miller has revealed in a new interview that she has reached a point of nihilism in her career due to peoples perceptions of her acting capabilities.

Miller, who turned 40 last December, was catapulted to Hollywood fame after her performances in Layer Cake and Alfie, both ofwhich were released in 2004.

However, in part due to her deep-rooted interest in fashion, the British-American actor struggled to win over some viewers and journalists despite several critically acclaimed performances in films such as American Woman, Foxcatcher (2014) and High-Rise (2015).

In a new interview with Elle magazine, Miller admitted that, while she has previously grown frustrated at the fact that her acting talents have repeatedly been underestimated, shes now reached a point of nihilism.

Miller told the publication she isnt sure what else she has to do to be taken seriously as an actor.

I feel like, from a young age, Ive proven myself, she said. Without sounding arrogant, because Im riddled with insecurity and the lowest self-esteem and thats the truth, Im not just saying it but I think Ive reached a point of nihilism, which Im quite happy about.

I dont know whether thats [because of] Covid, but I just dont really care. I do just wish that people would be a bit more original in their thoughts, the Golden Globe-nominated actor continued.

The actor will next be seen in the Netflix drama Anatomy of a Scandal, which is scheduled for release later this month.

In the six-part limited series, Miller plays the role of Sophie Whitehouse, the wife of a politician, whose world is thrown into turmoil after her husband James (Rupert Friend) is accused of rape by a colleague with whom hed had an affair.

Anatomy of a Scandal will be released on Netflix on 15 April.
