Sienna Miller protects parents

Thursday, 23 July 2009

Sienna Miller censors her films for her parents.

The 'G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra' star gets embarrassed if her mother and father see raunchy scenes in her movies and goes to desperate lengths to stop them watching.

She admitted "My parents are very supportive of my work, but they hate seeing me die or have sex on screen. I have to cover my dad's eyes for those parts."

The actress has previously admitted she accepted her role in the big budget action movie to spare her family from having to see her portray another drug addict or troubled character.

She said: "I've never done a huge studio movie like 'G.I. Joe...', and I felt like it was time to do something where I wasn't having a breakdown or addicted to heroin or dying at the end - something that was really great fun and that people went to see and actually just had a great time seeing and weren't left damaged. I think my parents were also like, 'Please just stop doing these films - you're killing us.' "

Sienna - who played Andy Warhol's tragic, drug abusing muse Edie Sedgwick in 'Factory Girl' - is delighted she accepted their advice, because she had a fantastic time shooting the movie - which is inspired by a range of military-themed toys.

The 27-year-old blonde said: "It was a huge budget and a huge crew with things blowing up all around you all the time. I think initially I was completely overwhelmed. I'd never done fight training let alone been to a gym, so this was like a whole new experience. Once I realised what I was doing, it was really fun to make a movie that was just pure entertainment."
