Sienna Miller loved being "a proper villain" The 'GI Joe: The Rise of the Cobra' starlet - who played The Baroness - enjoyed indulging her evil side for the big-screen comic book adaptation.

She said: "The script was brilliant, the role was brilliant. She's a proper villain!" However, Sienna says the director Stephen Sommers initially said she wasn't tall enough to make the role a success.

She explained: "I think the first thing he said to me was, 'God, you're really. short! But then, of course, with the wardrobe and the make-up. I don't look like a villain when you meet me, but I do in the film."

Despite enjoying the movie, the 27-year-old beauty - whose past projects include 'Camille', 'Stardust' and 'The Edge of Love' - says she surprised herself when she accepting the role.

She explained to Total Film magazine: "Well, I'd always intended to do the more artistic, independent projects that often require an emotionally gruelling performance. But I think I got to a point where I just wanted to go and see. I'd really avoided doing anything of this magnitude before but it felt right at the time.

 "I definitely think I'm an indie girl at heart, but I want to have the freedom to be able to hop between the stage and big movies and smaller ones."
