    Sienna Miller thinks people "still fetishise" older women dating younger men

    The 44-year-old star - who is expecting her second child with 29-year-old partner Oli Green - has opened up on the way society views age gap relationships when the woman is the older person in the romance.


    She told Grazia magazine: "I remember being 21 and auditioning to be the love interest of a 45-year-old man.

    "Things have moved on since then, but the idea of an older woman with a younger man, for example, is still fetishised rather than normalised - there's a disparity there that I would love to see disappear."

    Sienna was frustrated early in her career when she became more famous for her high profile romance with Alfie castmate Jude Law than her acting career.

    She said: "There were these preconceptions about who I was because of the way that I became famous very quickly, very young, and those preconceptions were much more powerful than anything that I could manifest or create artistically.

    "I was pigeonholed as someone's fashionable girlfriend and I was capable of so much more than that - there was a much more violent lens shining on women back then."

    Thankfully, Sienna has noticed a change in the way women are becoming more accepted in the entertainment world.

    She explained: "I think the whole world is embracing women as they age in a way that is unprecedented.

    "I'm thinking of Dame Maggie Smith in that Loewe campaign, Charlotte Rampling for Givenchy and Massimo Dutti, we're celebrating ageing in a way that we've never done before - you were kind of obsolete at 30 and that's absolutely not the case any more."

    Sienna previously revealed she froze her eggs in order to future-proof her fertility because she felt under pressure to have more kids while she still could.

    Speaking to ELLE UK magazine in 2022, Sienna explained: "Biology is incredibly cruel on women in [their 30s] - that's the headline, or it certainly was for me.

    "Then I got to 40 and I froze some eggs. Having been really focused on the need to have another baby, I'm just like, if it happens, it happens. That kind of existential threat has dissipated."
