‘OMG it’s Katie Holmes!” I want to scream as she materialises on my computer screen, smiling beatifically in a smock top, her unadorned face and wet hair making her look far younger than her 45 years. “It’s dry adjacent,” she says with a laugh when I ask about the hair. “I got caught in the rain today without an umbrella. But it was warm rain so it was funny.”
Speaking over Zoom from her New York apartment, Holmes seems significantly more relaxed and happy than most people you speak to over Zoom, which either makes her a relaxed and happy person or a good actor. You’ll already know she’s a good actor if you’ve watched Batman Begins (2005) or all 128 episodes of Dawson’s Creek
