Kyra Sedgwick "didn't get invited back" to Tom Cruise's house after accidentally calling police to the abode.

The 55-year-old actress and her husband Kevin Bacon were invited to a star-studded dinner at the home the Mission: Impossible  star shared with his then-wife Nicole Kidman around the time of filming 1992 movie A Few Good Men, and she admitted her curiosity got the better of her and she couldn't resist pressing a curious button she'd discovered.

Speaking on The Drew Barrymore show, Kyra recalled: "It's a pretty good story. It was a sad moment, but it was a funny story. 

"So I was pregnant, I was very pregnant, and we got invited over to dinner. I had worked with Tom [on 'Born On The Fourth Of July'] but Kev was doing [.A Few Good Men' with him].

"So we got invited over for dinner with lots of famous people like Demi Moore and Bruce Willis because she was in the movie. Rob Reiner was there. It was a flow, and Nicole was there. 

"It was one of those nights that I often don't get invited to and so there was this like fireplace mantle and I was looking around and there was this little button underneath the mantle."

The Call Your Mother star - who has Travis, 31, and Sosie, 29, with Kevin - admitted she hoped something "interesting" would happen if she pressed the button, but when nothing happened, she began to worry.

She continued: "I was like, 'Oh what is that little button?' So I pressed the little button because I thought maybe something interesting will happen," she shared, noting her curiosity got the better of her.

"Nothing happened and then I got a little nervous. I was like, 'Oh nothing happened that doesn't seem right. So I tapped Tom on the shoulder, who was in the middle of a story, and I said, 'I pressed this button down here.' 

"And he was like, 'You pressed that button?' And I was like, 'Yeah, I pressed that button.' And he goes, 'That's the panic button.'"

Before long, the dinner was interrupted by the arrival of multiple police cars.

Kyra added: "And so the cops came, they had to stop the screening, they had to see Tom….I think there were more than like five cop cars, it was something… I didn't get invited back."
