Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal said she got confused when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were in town as she thought the press attention was for her.

The 32-year-old told how she and husband Peter Sarsgaard, 38, were at a cafe in New York earlier this year during a break in rehearsals for their production of Uncle Vanya when they were swarmed by photographers.

She said “There were a ton of paparazzi in the cafe with their huge cameras and laptops. I was like: ‘Peter, oh my God, they are so into us. They’re swarming us. We are so important.’”

However she added: “It turns out Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were living on that street. It was the winter, so the photographers would go into the cafe to download their pictures.”
