Cate Blanchett Might Have More Time to Hate on Leaf Blowers Soon
She insisted in a recent interview that she is “serious” about plans to retire from acting.
Earlier this year, she did press for both Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag and a West End production of Anton Chekov’s The Seagull, and she’s also set to appear in upcoming films Alpha Gang and Father Mother Sister Brother. As far back as 2007, Blanchett told W Magazine that the lawn-care products “sum up everything that is wrong with the human race.” Over the years, she has slammed them for being useless, loud, ugly, detrimental to the environment, and bad for people’s health. She told comedian Kareem Rahma this March that her “subway take” is that they need to be “eradicated from the face of the earth.” All this to say, if Blanchett is actually going to step away from acting sometime soon, the leaf blowers of the world might want to be scared about what she has planned for them.
