Cate Blanchett has been married for 18 years to Andrew Upton. But on Tuesday the 45-year-old actress dropped a bombshell to Variety when promoting her new movie Carol, in which she plays a bisexual woman. When asked if this was her first turn as a lesbian, the Oscar winner smiled and said, 'On film — or in real life?' When pushed to confirm she's had relationships with women, the mother-of-four said, 'Yes. Many times.'
The Cinderella actress did not offer any more details to reporter Ramin Setoodeh. The star was asked if she could define her character Carol's sexual orientation. 'I never thought about it,' she said. 'I don’t think Carol thought about it.' As far as getting into the role, the Elizabeth star said, 'I read a lot of girl-on-girl books from the period.'
In Carol, the actress plays Carol Aird opposite Rooney Mara's Therese Belivet. Mara is 30-years-old. The film is based on Patricia Highsmith's 1952 book The Price Of Salt, which was considered scandalous at the time. It's about a department-store clerk who dreams of a better life. She then falls for an older, married woman. The tale is set in 1950s New York City. Carol also stars Kyle Chandler as Harge Aird and Sarah Paulson as Abby Gerhard. The director is Todd Haynes.
The film was in development for 15 years. It will premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17. Blanchett also read The Private Life: Why We Remain In The Dark by psychoanalyst Josh Cohen. Cate has never before hinted that she could be interested in the same sex. She has four children with her husband Upton. The star is best known for her daring roles such as the incomparable queen in 1998's Elizabeth and Galadriel in 2001's The Lord Of The Rings.

“Gross. Why is everyone in Hollywood so messed up?? I didn’t want or needed to know this.”
There must be something in the air on movie sets that causes people to be libertines and reveal so much. Doesn’t she care what her kids think?

Words caught my eye, she, intimate w/women, so I post, who the h311 is this woman?
Taking pleasure in homosexuality is really pathetic. Really pathetic that you are not sexually satisfied and would find that enjoyable. Not much of a man. I trust you have not been decrying the advance of the homosexual crusade in this country.
Pretty much every actress these days is a walking Petri Dish.

Awwwwww. Isn’t that cute? A Hollywood fake who is also a sexual deviate and serial liar. Who ever would have guessed?
“I’m ready for my close-up, Mr DeMille.”
Whoa! What a schnozz, is she kin to Jimmy Durante? ;)
As my wife always said to my daughters when a “bi-sexual” comment was made: there is no such thing, it just means they are lazy.
Great minds think alike....
GALADRIEL!!! NOOOOOOOOOO
I’ve always thought that “bisexual” completely destroyed the concept that homosexuals are “born that way.”
