Don’t be fooled by the British accent, Sienna Miller is a Native New Yorker — albeit not in the biblical sense. The maneating star, who moved to London with her British-born parents shortly after birth, is getting back in touch with her roots in America’s largest city on the pages of the new issue of Gotham Magazine.

“When I lived in New York it was one of the happiest times of my life. I think you always have an affinity for the place you’re born,” says Sienna, 28 — who admits there’s a downside that comes with moving to the UK early in life. “When people find out I was born in New York they think I’m faking my British accent,” she laments.

The G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra star is back in the Big Apple to star in the Broadway production of After Miss Julie.

“To be on Broadway was an absolute dream, since I was little. I always wanted to do theatre.”
