Cate Blanchett has made headlines before, but this time it’s not just about her acting skills that have people talking. During an interview with Radio Times promoting her new BBC radio drama, The Fever, she revealed that she’s decided to “give up” acting and is eager to explore other passions.
Despite being a two-time Oscar-winning actress with a string of iconic roles under her belt, Blanchett claims she’s serious about hanging up her acting hat. Her resume includes notable performances in The Lord of the Rings, Elizabeth, Thor: Ragnarok, and more. She’s also had her hands full with various projects recently, including the Borderlands adaptation and Guy Maddin’s horror-comedy Rumours.
While some may question whether Blanchett’s best work is still ahead of her, it’s clear she has a plethora of other interests on her plate. The actress is also an outspoken activist and Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, using her platform to support refugees and those in need.
As fans eagerly await more news about Blanchett’s future projects, one thing is certain – the actress remains committed to making a positive impact off-screen as well as on.
