Selma 'mistaken for Tom Cruise'

Selma Blair has revealed that she is frequently mistaken for Tom Cruise since cutting her hair.

The actress, who starred in Scream 2 and Cruel Intentions, had her waist-length dark hair cut into a short crop in 2006.

But she said there is a downside to the style as people now think she bears a striking resemblance to Cruise.

She told Elle: "I had long hair for a while. Almost down to my waist but I wanted to go back to my Tom Cruise cut. I told my hairdresser to shave the back and leave the front long.

"Then someone thought I was Tom from the back. I guess I'd better wear heels."

The 35-year-old added that she is on the lookout for a new man, saying: "I love European men - British men. Maybe what I need is an older, British investment banker."

She divorced Frank Zappa's musician son Ahmet in 2006 after two years of marriage.
