Cate Blanchett isn’t surprised over the fact that her leaf blower rants went viral. The actress sat down with People Magazine to drop the details of her new production of Anton Chekhov’s play, The Seagull. Amid sharing the information about her upcoming projects, the actress also brought up one of her pet peeves, which is audience participation in theaters.
Ahead of getting her work for the drama started, the actress joined her co-stars, Michael Fassbender, Rege-Jean Page, Naomi Harris, and Pierce Brosnan, to promote her new thriller film, Black Bag. While the actress returned to the U.K. for her remaining performances, her banter regarding the leaf blowers with Fassbender went viral on the internet.
Over time, Blanchett has often expressed her frustration with the leaf blower device. In a particular episode of Hot Ones in 2022, the actress stated that the sound of the machine significantly increases her blood pressure.
When recently asked about the leaf blowers again, Blanchett bluntly stated, “They’re the most moronic invention.” She further added, “They’re a symbol of all that is wrong with us as a species.”
To involve her co-star in the discussion too, the actress asked Fassbender, “You know, we were talking about leaf blowers earlier. Don’t they strike you as absurd? I mean, if you witness someone using one, doesn’t it make your pulse race?
The individual of German-Irish descent mentioned, “I typically pick up on them first.” He went on to say, “It’s the noise that gets me. I can’t help but ponder when they might invent a leaf blower without sound. In essence, it feels like moving leaves in another location.
Apart from the banter between the co-stars going viral on the internet, they have showcased the same energy and chemistry on the screens as well. Blanchett and Fassbender will portray the roles of Kathryn St. Jean and George Woodhouse. Their characters lie to each other out of necessity for their jobs.
