Actress Sienna Miller has said her 2008 legal victory against the paparazzi “absolutely changed” her life. Sienna Miller has said she’s glad successfully sued a pap photo agency as it ‘absolutely changed her life’. Miller took legal action against Big Pictures in 2008 after they breached privacy rules by taking topless shots of her on a secluded beach with ex-boyfriend Balthazar Getty. “I’m the first person to sue and win against the paparazzi on harassment charges. It’s absolutely changed my life. I didn’t want to shut down and hide myself away,” Miller told GQ magazine. “I didn’t want security, I didn’t want a driver, I just wanted a normal life, but I felt myself being pushed to a place where I felt afraid. Constantly.” The actress went on to say how fame had changed her life, “It was literally one day to the next. One day I was anonymous, the next day people were outside my flat. It was quite intense but initially it didn’t feel aggressive or scary. And I was so in love [with Jude Law]. It was the first time I’d been crazy in love like that, just intoxicated by it, so really every experience I was having at that time was wonderful. It was a complete whirlwind, the most exciting time of my life. When you’re going to your first premiere and there are photographers and a red carpet and your mum’s there, it’s really exciting. Anyone who says it isn’t is lying. But then it all changed.”
