Supposedly Russell Crowe’s ego has just got his “Nottingham” co-star, Sienna Miller, fired. Miller was going to play Maid Marion to Russell’s Robin Hood, that was supposed to start production in February but is now set to kick-off in April.

Sienna Miller was dropped from the cast of new movie Nottingham after Russell Crow demanded script rewrites that effectively forced her out of the flick, it has been claimed.

According to the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, the British actress – who was to play Maid Marian – left the movie yesterday after being “put on hold” while shooting was pushed back from February to April.

A source says, “It is a mess. Russell never lost the weight he put on for Body of Evidence – and so the love scenes between him and Sienna would have been laughable. He’s so old and fat and she’s so young and gorgeous. It’s just . . . gross. Producers are now looking for an older, plumper actress to play the role so [Crowe] doesn’t look like a paunchy grandpa. Someone in her late 30s or early 40s.

“Originally the movie was about a love triangle between Maid Marian, Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham. It is now all about Russell’s Robin Hood. Literally, 40 pages of script were redone and now are just devoted to him and his massive ego. It’s amazing.”

A studio rep acknowledged that Alfie actress Miller was “released” but flatly denied “these rumors”, insisting “Nottingham is moving ahead with Russell Crowe and Ridley Scott.”

So, what do you think? Was she fired, did she quit or was it Crowe’s ego that pushed the actress out?
