British actor Jonathan Rhys-Myers said there is, indeed, some value to all of the media attention paid to the baby - but not to the movie. “You know, I’m sure it’s very, very exciting because it’s a media moneymaker,” he explained. “Of course, how many magazine articles, magazine pages will be devoted to Tom and Katie and the baby? You know, it’s an industry. I just hope that they give Tom and Katie time to be new parents, and give that little girl the space she needs to grow up and be a little girl.”
