Jude Law asked the News Of The World to ‘back-date’ his girlfriend’s affair with Daniel Craig so it would appear she cheated on him before he betrayed her, it was claimed yesterday. The actor’s publicist asked the newspaper to make it seem like Sienna Miller cheated first – before Law’s fling with his children’s nanny – saying: ‘That’s the thing he [Law] wants the most’. Meanwhile Miss Miller, 32, insisted she had never sought to manipulate Press attention and complained she had been vilified over the affair. Giving evidence to the phone-hacking trial by videolink yesterday, the actress sought to play down her fling with the James Bond star, saying it was a ‘very brief encounter’.
