CROWE: ‘I DIDN’T AXE MILLER FROM ROBIN HOOD’
RUSSELL CROWE has spoken out about SIENNA MILLER’s dismissal from new mov= ie ROBIN HOOD - insisting he had nothing to do with the decision.
Miller was originally signed on to play Maid Marian, but she mysterious= ly left the project last year (09) amid rumours she had been dropped beca= use she was too young to play 45-year-old Crowe’s love interest.
Cate Blanchett, 40, was later drafted in to take her place in the film,= which is due for release later this year (May10).
Now the film’s star Crowe insists he played no part in axing Miller, wh= ile defending Blanchett’s performance in the upcoming film.
He says, "It wasn’t my call, actually, it’s more that I’m too old and f= at! But Cate brings something else. The way we changed the character, we = needed somebody who was going to be resilient. And Cate is superb in this= film. She was excellent to work with and a great partner in crime." (KD/=
