Art often imitates lives, and one can’t do much about it. Netflix’s new
courtroom drama Anatomy of a Scandal has a story that no one believes could be
true. However, for actress Sienna Miller, the whole show was a trip down memory
lane, and she even addressed that she surely could see the similarities between
her past and the show.

Let us see what the actress was talking about.


SIENNA MILLER AND HER APPREHENSIONS TO JOIN THE SHOW

Sienna Miller co-stars with Rupert Friend in the latest Netflix drama Anatomy of
a Scandal. She confesses that her personal history, notably being a major media
target in the 2000s, made her hesitant to join the cast.

Miller’s personal life was widely in the news over two decades ago. Most notably
when her engagement with actor Jude Law came to an end. The reason for ending
the engagement was his affair with the nanny of his children from a previous
marriage, which quickly became public.

So while talking about the uncanny similarities between the show and her past.
Sienna says, “I think I was hesitant to perhaps insert myself back into a
somewhat familiar scenario of the snooping press and the feelings of dread when
a story that’s very personal is about to be made very public.”

She says that all these feelings were something she went through at a very young
age. But the reason she feels she did the show was because of the character of
Sophie. She says that she isn’t anything like Sophie.

“I’ve never really played anyone who was that adept at hiding their emotions and
that felt like a challenge at this point in my career,” she admitted

“In the end, that was the challenge that made me accept the role, was the idea
of, how do you humanize someone that you think is a bit of a git?” said Rupert
while talking about what drew him towards the show.
