New lingerie ads of Maggie Gyllenhaal have left the actress stunned – because she had no idea they’d be plastered all over New York.

The Secretary star is now having second thoughts about signing on as a spokesmodel for underwear giant Agent Provocateur last year after realizing what became of something she viewed as “an art project”.

She says, “I was looking at (my) Agent Provocateur ads with (husband) Peter (Sarsgaard), saying, ‘I don’t think I look like that. That underwear really is good!’ I couldn’t believe how it made me look. When they came out, though, I was a but surprised. Somehow I hadn’t understood that there’d be all these pictures of me out there in my underwear. I did it as an art project.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal almost rejected her role in upcoming film The Dark Knight – until she was assured her casting was approved by Batman predecessor Katie Holmes.

Gyllenhaal – who plays the superhero’s love interest Rachel Dawes – stepped in after Holmes turned down the chance to reprise her role in 2005 film in Batman Begins.

The actress admits she was hesitant to accept the part until she knew she would have the freedom to create a new character for the role with Holmes’ blessing.

She says, “I wanted to be sure, first of all, that I had her blessing. And I was assured that I did. I’m a big fan of hers, I think she was really great in the first movie. And yet I felt like it wouldn’t have done anyone any good if I tried to imitate her. Really what I decided was that it had to be a whole new woman. If I’m going to do what I do well, I have to be free to do it.”

New mom Maggie Gyllenhaal’s maternal skills came in handy on the set of her new movie Farlanders when she had to calm screaming baby twins.

The actress plays a hippie mom in the Sam Mendes film – her first project since becoming a mother in October 2006.

And when her tiny co-stars threatened to ruin filming by screaming through take after take, she decided to try to calm them.

She explains, “I get to working with a five year old and two 11-month-old twins, who screamed through the entire day.

“If I had not been a mom and known how to calm a baby, talk and hold the baby, the whole day would’ve been wasted. I thought, ‘Thank God I’m a mother.’ But I didn’t feel like I’ve gone to work and expressed myself and now I’m ready to go home to my baby. I felt like I was a mother all day on that movie.

Maggie Gyllenhaal has hit out at the media for their reporting tactics after the death of fellow actor Heath Ledger – branding the industry “disrespectful”.

The Secretary star blasted journalists for their style of reporting after the tragic death of the Australian actor, insisting she was “shocked” by the way they tackled the sensitive issue.

Gyllenhaal starred opposite Ledger in his final full film, The Dark Knight, in which he stars as Batman’s nemesis, The Joker.

And the actress – whose brother, Jake Gyllenhaal, featured alongside Ledger in 2005’s Brokeback Mountain – reveals her co-star and friend’s untimely death has taken its toll on her.

She tells Britain’s Empire magazine, “It’s hard to talk about how it’s (Ledger’s death) affected me personally. It’s been really hard for me.” (And) the media has shocked me with the way that they’ve been disrespectful in some ways.”

Ledger was found dead in his New York apartment in January. Toxicology reports released a month later state he was killed by an accidental overdose of prescribed medication.
