'The O.C.' star Rachel Bilson has taken an apparent swipe at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for being so public about their love life.

The beautiful actress, who plays Summer in the hit TV show, has been dating co-star Adam Brody, who plays her on-screen boyfriend Seth, since the first series.

But the pair kept their romance a secret for months - unlike Tom and Katie, who have proudly flaunted their love for each other at premieres, on TV talk shows and in magazine interviews.

Rachel said: "We were a little quiet about it at first. You want things to develop on your own without everyone watching.

"I think that's what everyone wants, isn't it? Unless, of course, you're Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes."

Meanwhile, Rachel has confessed she has a crush on Johnny Depp.

Despite dating Adam, the brunette babe has admitted the 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' star would be her ideal dinner date.

She said in an interview with Britain's Night and Day magazine: "I love, love, love him."
