Sienna Miller’s gracious congratulatory message to ex Rhys Ifans

LONDON - English actress Sienna Miller is said to have sent her ex-boyfriend Rhys Ifans a congratulatory message for landing a part in new movie ‘Nottingham’.

Miller, 27, who had been set to play Maid Marian in the Robin Hood remake, but was shortly replaced by actress Cate Blanchett before filming began, also praised him for his achievements since they broke up.

“Sienna couldn’t help but send a witty letter to Rhys when she heard the news of his involvement,” the Daily Express quoted a source as saying.

“She wrote it on this jokey pink romantic paper he’d once bought her and said the role of King Richard was perfect for him, as he’d always fancied himself as kingly.

“She also admitted to being impressed by Rhys as, since they’d broken up, his career had gone from strength to strength,” the source added.

Ifans, 40, who had been devastated after he split from Miller, will be playing King Richard alongside Russell Crowe in the 80 million pounds Ridley Scott movie. (ANI)
