Sienna Miller Confronts Ageism While Promoting Sky Drama War

She says she filmed War at 35 weeks pregnant, a disclosure that underscores how pregnancy can intersect with scarce roles for women over 40.

Overview

  • In recent interviews linked to promotion of the Sky series War, Miller said fellow actresses warned her that many women became ‘obsolete’ when they turned 40, framing her comments as a critique of persistent industry bias.
  • Miller confirmed she completed shooting War while heavily pregnant, reporting she was about 35 weeks by the end of filming and describing long, tiring days on set.
  • The series, in which Miller plays Carla Duval opposite Dominic West, is scheduled to debut on Sky/NOW and already has a second season commissioned, a sign of the show’s commercial backing before broadcast.
  • She spoke candidly about motherhood and identity, saying she now ‘feels less like I have to prove something’ and joking about missed roles such as Juliet as an example of changing opportunities with age.
  • Miller noted that co-star Phoebe Fox’s pregnancy was written into War’s plot, highlighting how production choices can adapt to actors’ lives while also raising questions about how the industry treats pregnant performers and older women.
