How fame

Maggie Gyllenhaal says that she feels sorry for her actor brother Jake because his celebrity lifestyle has changed him. The ‘Dark Knight’ actress explains, “of course, everybody does change as they grow up, but I think it’s really hard for anybody who has to figure out a way to manage it in Los Angeles.”

Maggie says she isn’t always swamped by fans and photographers, but it’s harder for her brother, who’s in a high profile relationship with Reese Witherspoon. “They chase him in their car and it’s just different for him. More than anything, I feel sorry for him that he has to deal with that.”

Maggie (31), her actor husband Peter Sarsgaard and their two-year-old daughter Ramona split their time between Britain and the US to avoid the glare of being in the public eye. She explains, “They never bother us in London. We were at Wimbledon, walking around with sausages and champagne, and we thought, ‘We are so lucky we can do that.’ I don’t want to give it up.”
