Taking a walk on the wild side! Maggie Gyllenhaal and daughter Romana both rock animal print trousers as they step out with baby Gloria

She's been tipped to play the lead in the upcoming movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey.

But Maggie Gyllenhaal looked far from the sexually charged heroine Ana Steele as she passed through Los Angeles airport with her two daughters on Friday.

The 35-year-old actress, who shot to fame in raunchy movie Secretary, held 11-month-old baby Gloria Ray in a papoose, and was accompanied by her six year old daughter Ramona.

Juggling mum: Maggie Gylenhaal, 35, managed to hold on to her two daughters, six-year-old Romana and 11-month-old Gloria Ray as they passed through LAX on Friday

The Dark Knight star wore a light denim shirt shirt over some loose fitting brown zebra print trousers.

The star shielded her eyes with oversized shades as she pushed the stroller through the airport.

It seems there had been a mother-daughter pact to wear animal print, as Ramona had leopard print leggings on.

The six-year-old completed the look with long red socks worn over her leggings, and lilac polka dot shoes. She wore a checkered blanket to keep warm.

The Crazy Heart star's entire family is in the entertainment industry, including Brokeback Mountain actor Jake Gyllenhaal and director dad Stephen Gyllenhaal.

Her actress mother, Naomi Foner, directed Maggie's husband Peter Sarsgaard in Very Good Girls, alongside Dakota Fanning, Elizabeth Olsen, Demi Moore and Richard Dreyfuss.

Peter plays Amanda Seyfried's abusive husband in the hotly anticipated movie Lovelace.

Ramona was born in 2006, and Maggie and Peter Sarsgaard wed in Italy in May 2009. They welcomed their second daughter, Gloria Ray, into the world in April 2012.

Soon after the birth of her little daughter, Maggie told Jimmy Fallon:

'We thought of her name when we were at this concert that Patti Smith played at...she played a cover of Van Morrison's Gloria,

'It was a couple of years ago and we just thought, maybe we'll name our daughter that one day.'

Busy: The Dark Knight star has been filming Frank with Michael Fassbender

Before giving birth to Gloria's older sister Ramona in 2006, Gyllenhaal admitted that she 'didn't have a clue' how rewarding, or challenging, motherhood would turn out to be.

'There's no way to prepare for the challenges, the immense joys, the surprises, the disappointments, and the shocks,' she told The Orange County Register. 'Your heart just rips open.'

'It teaches you how to manage the unmanageable, and accept that you can't be a perfect mother all the time. If you try, it will bring you to your knees.'

Love her hair! Even more impressively, both of her children's faces are pixilated, and in the US. Katie Holmes, are you paying attention?

She looks none to pleased at the intrusion. There ought to be some kind of law stopping them photographing children.

I hardly think she is being considered for 50 shades. She's too old. Just because she did the secretary does not mean she will do every sado macho film. I personally hope this film isn't made. The worst book I ever read. Utter tosh. Give me ASOIAF etc any day

She's 35, way too old to play Ana, who is like 21 or 22 I think. Though I don't think she'd ever do it and I don't blame her, I picture Emily Van Camp as Ana.
