Maggie Gyllenhaal Is No TomKat

We’d certainly be just as excited to spot Maggie Gyllenhaal on the street as we would to see Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. The paparazzi however…not so much. Gyllenhaal recently told E! that one day when she and hubby Peter Sarsgaard were sitting in a café in New York, the paparazzi seemed to hover around them. “There were a ton of paparazzi in the café 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.’”

Turns out though that none of the shots the paps were taking were of the low-key indie couple, they had their sights set higher. Gyllenhaal explained, “Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise were living on that street. It was the winter, so the photographers would go into the café to download their pictures.”

Gyllenhaal flies under the radar as it is and didn’t mind the lack of attention. Besides, she’s allowed to have the last laugh – she gets to live a relatively tabloid-free life, and she replaced Katie in The Dark Knight. Sounds like a win-win situation to us. [Photos: GettyImages]
