Sienna Miller would allow her son to play American football for a living.

The 44-year-old actress gave birth to a baby boy in April, and Sienna has revealed that she wouldn't stop him from pursuing a career in gridiron football.

The British actress - who has a boy and a girl with Oli Green, as well as Marlowe 14, with actor Tom Sturridge - told Extra: "I gonna say yeah, if he wants to, you know, with a helmet.

"You're asking the wrong person. I could talk to you about soccer all night long, but I need to brush up on football."

Sienna stars in Madden, the biographical sports film about the life of American football coach and commentator John Madden.

Asked what drew her to the project, Sienna explained: "Listen, any proximity to Christian Bale, Nicolas Cage, Kathryn Hahn, John Mulaney, David O. Russell ... I would have happily made the tea on this set, so I was just thrilled to be in the same sentence as those greats."

In the movie, Sienna plays Carol Davis, the wife of Al Davis, the principal owner of the Oakland Raiders franchise.

Discussing the challenges of playing Carol, Sienna shared: "I loved any amount of transformation. The voice was very specific Brooklyn, and I worked really hard on that and I had the time of my life. I don't think I've had a happier experience making a film than this."

Sienna gave birth to her daughter in December 2023 and previously described the reaction to the birth as "unbelievably misogynistic".

The actress told ELLE: "I now have a 12-year-old [Marlowe] and a 14-month-old. I think there’s a whole load of noise and people have a lot to say and it’s incredibly gendered and unbelievably misogynistic and anti-feminist. It’s insane.

"If your body is capable of it, have the baby. Have a wonderful baby."

Sienna also claimed that her parenting skills have improved.

She said: "I’m a better mother now, and it’s a much more grounded experience.

"Have all the babies at any time you want to have the babies. And no one has anything to say about - and I love these people, and they’re friends, which I like to name-drop - Al Pacino and Robert De Niro having kids in their 80s. Forget about your age! It’s irrelevant. It’s absolutely irrelevant."
