Gyllenhaal: 'London always surprises me'

Maggie Gyllenhaal has admitted that she is often left confused when she visits the UK.

The Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang star told Bang Showbiz that she struggles to understand people in the country.

"You know, I have been here so much," she said.

"We shot The Dark Knight here, my husband [Peter Sarsgaard] shot An Education here, but I think it's funny; we speak the same language and so many things are similar about New York and London but culturally there are huge differences."

She continued: "I have to do a lot of translating, 'What do they mean by that?' But I love London, like, love it."

Gyllenhaal also revealed that she is worried about what she says in the UK because she is aware that certain words mean different things in America.

"London surprises me and continues to surprise me," she added. "And when I'm here, I'm always a little on guard of what I say, exactly for that reason."
