OlderCate Blanchett: Queen Cate
Cate Blachett stays soaked in a wet shirt on the October 2007 cover of W Magazine. Here are some highlights from her interview with W:
On not being easily persuaded on accepting the role in the highly anticipated Bob Dylan biopic, I’m Not There: “The script was verging on impenetrable. It’s like an algebraic equation. You think: This makes sense in the mind of the mathematician. I knew that if you assembled it, somehow Bob Dylan would emerge, but only Todd knew how.”
On what she calls her two songs Dashiell, 5, and Roman, 3: “Sweet-smelling little dumplings”
On enrolling Dashiell in what she calls “a proper school”: “He’s five now. He needs to be settled, and I need to respect that.”
On a couple more children being part of the larger plan: “We’re not going to wait forever. God, I’d love it to be now. I’d love it to be next week.”

lol i didnt know morons posted on blogs other than perez hilton…
a. cate blanchett has never had any work done.
b. she is the meryl streep of my generation and she pretty much ***** on any working actress i dare you to name.
c. just because she won an academy award for her spot on portrayal of katherine hepburn does not mean that she spends all her time trying to imitate her. whens the last time you saw her wear a pant suit? lol
and i really dont see what you all are saying about her nose, or her “trying too hard”. in fact, if you read the interview she talks about how relaxing it was to just sit down and take pictures. she nearly fell asleep.
you look brilliant cate.
can’t wait till you win your next oscar.
for future reference, lets save the “overrated” title for the nicole kidmans and angelina jolies of the world
Since when does a 5 year old need to be “settled”? i don’t think 5 year olds even know what being settled means.
Beautiful! The cover photo hardly looks like Cate but I don’t think it’s Botox or anything. She’s always had the ability to change her look completely for each of her movies and many photo shoots. These shots are sexy. She’s such a talented actress- I can’t wait for the new Elizabeth.
Finally a woman in Hollywood that is truly talented. Classy, clever and talent all wrapped up in one.
And most of all a smart parent that puts her childs needs before her own. She is an inspiration and all the other parents in Hollywood could take an example from her.
On enrolling Dashiell in what she calls “a proper school”: “He’s five now. He needs to be settled, and I need to respect that.”
Amazing! Thanks Jared.
cate is a very good actress i agree but i don’t find her pretty at all, she looks like more of a man side but her acting is superb.
Where was she “superb”?
Blanchett is CLEVER, not intelligent. She knows exactly what she is doing. She is like a small water that wrecks mountains. Then, what?
There was no need to bring Kidman and Angelina
into this.
Angelina is an excellent actress, and her beauty
is MORE than skin deep. It’s not fair that she
went through inferno with the tabloids b/c of
other people’s already failed merger.
Just saying.
I certainly hope she will get another Oscar for
her deeply moving portrayal of a “common” person
(although Mrs Pearl is everything but “common”!)
I DO hope so, and I am certainly not alone, simply
b/c she deserves it.
I think she is the best actress around at the moment, never a bad performance maybe not so good films but she is amazing and the camera loves her. She glows. Love her and she seems normal maybe because she lives in Australia. Also not some cookie cutter blonde/blue eyed… all American look.
no 27 you must not have kids, routine is the main thing and you need it earlier than 5yrs old.
Cate manages to lose herself in any role she plays. She is amazingly versatile and I think that shows a great deal of sensitivity and intelligence. Not to start a war with the people who love AJ, but if you saw Pushing Tin, Cate acted circles around AJ. And she won her oscar for playing someone other than herself.
I am not starting any childish wars, but that
is the 1st that I’ve ever heard that your fave
actress was better than mine in Pushing Tin - on
the contrary!
Angelina certainly made some bad choices, but has
always had an undeniable strong presence on screen.
Directors that choose to work with her, prove that.
Your words re: Angelina’s Oscar are “learned”, and
nothing but plain mean!
To me, Angelina looks more composed and easygoing than
Blanchett. WHAT do you really know about Blanchett’s
“past”, or her “now” for that matter?! So? What’s
your point exactly?!
Bold and Beautiful I think there are plenty of other threads to idolize Jolie in. This one is about the amazing talent Cate is.
I like that I don’t know much about her. Presents the characters she chooses to play with much more appeal.
In my opinion, and just because you brought it up. No way are you comparing apples to apples, Jolie can’t hold a candle to Cate. Hard as it is for you to swallow, Jolie should stick to the characters that portray her true self. That is the only time she is at the top of her game.
This is ridiculous. I am not trying to
“have the last word”, but you should read
my post again. You cannot deny what I
said. After you, what is Angelina’s “true
self”?! What is, after you, Blanchett’s
“true self”? Ridiculous.
Nice way to devalue someone’s work. Not.
@ #26- She was terrible as Katherin Hepburn, not spot on at all. I would know, as I have been a life-long Hepburn fan. I thought her portrayal of her was awful and I was annoyed by the fact that she dared portray such a legend. Definitely overrated, over-acts and tries to come across as literate. In truth, if she really were literate, she would not address the public, as a movie actress, in that way.
