Sienna Miller has admitted her relationship with Jude Law was “chaos.”
The pair had a public romance from 2003 to 2006 after they met on the set of their 2004 film, Alfie.
Now, the actress has reflected on the media madness surrounding the two at the time.
The 42-year-old spoke on This Life of Mine with James Cordon and confessed: “[It] was just the most surreal experience.
“I got photographed with my new boyfriend, very famous at the time, Jude Law. We were working together.”
“It’s so surreal to look back and imagine, or even to look back sometimes and see pictures of the amount of people that were there in my life all the time,” she added.
“It makes you go completely mad, which is ideal for them.”
She continued: “The more you spiral, the better it is in terms of selling papers, that English thing of just wanting to tear people down. It felt so celebratory.”
She confessed she was “so madly in love and it was, in many ways, the most exciting moment.”
“I just started working and I was in a big film and in love with this idol, and very, very happy but the flip side of it was so dark, so quickly.”
She recalled that she learned “so much” about herself from the experience, saying she feels “very lucky to kind of still be here.”
“I think that it can incur just madness and chaos. It is chaos. You are dealing with aggression, and violence, and you are a piece of prey and you’re being hunted every day, so you are paranoid,”
“The response to that is, for me, I was like, ‘I’m not changing. I’m not gonna give up my life.”
“I’ve always been relatively the same person, but you escape. I was drinking too much. I was probably going out too much. I’d also watched people behave in the ’90s in a way that I thought was how you behaved,”
” [Everyone was] having a lot of fun, but that also breeds more panic. It was just an ouroboros of kind of mess,” she added.
The pair got engaged in 2004, however, news of Jude’s affair with his children’s nanny broke.
The couple called it quits in 2006, before rekindling their romance in 2009.
They ended things for good in 2011.
