Sienna Miller was "terrified" of handling the guns in her new movie. The 27-year-old actress - who plays villain The Baroness in "GI Joe" - looked so worried when she held a pistol she was taken aside by film bosses to make sure she was alright.

Sienna is quoted as saying: "It was scary. I got taken away from the group! They said, 'Sienna, you're a villain in this film and you look like you're terrified of the gun.' And I said 'I am!' But we were shooting live ammunition that could kill someone."

"It's a powerful piece of machinery, and it takes a lot of strength to pull that thing back. I was trying to do it with two hands because I wasn't strong by that point. But then I got my MP3 rifle and you put it on automatic and it gets 14 rounds out per second!"

Sienna has previously admitted she couldn't get into character on the set of the movie until she was handed a firearm.

She said: "I didn't feel like a big villain until I got my machine gun. But then I thought 'I can get into this!' The Baroness is fundamentally a villain, a femme fatale. A nasty piece of work."
