Cate Blanchett, the accomplished actress known for her roles in "The Lord of the Rings" and "Blue Jasmine," expressed her serious intentions to step away from acting after over 30 years. In an interview with Radio Times, she revealed her desire to focus on other aspects of life, particularly her family. Despite her success and accolades, including two Oscars, she shared her discomfort with celebrity culture and the expectations that come with fame. Blanchett emphasized her feelings of belonging and comfort in various environments, while hinting at a transition away from the spotlight.
"My family roll their eyes every time I say it, but I mean it," Blanchett said, per The Standard. "I am serious about giving up acting. [There are] a lot of things I want to do with my life."
"When you go on a talk show, or even here now, and then you see soundbites of things you've said, pulled out and italicized, they sound really loud," Blanchett explained. "I'm not that person."
