But looking back, it seems that the 55-year-old had hinted before that she was not very fond of the profession, at least not after growing older.<\/p>\n<p>In a 2019 interview with Interview Magazine, the actress discussed her disenchantment in detail with Julia Roberts, another Hollywood legend, where she claimed that acting got more and more humiliating for her as she grew older and that she understood why many older actors talked about quitting, something Blanchett did not understand earlier in her career.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on this topic, Cate Blanchett elaborated:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;As you get older, acting just gets more and more humiliating. When I was younger, I would wonder why the older actors I admired kept talking about quitting. Now I realize it\u2019s because they want to maintain a connection to the last shreds of their sanity. As I get older, I ask myself if I still want to submit myself to the shamanistic end of this profession and go completely into madness.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>She added:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It\u2019s the King Lear end of the spectrum of what we do, right? So I\u2019m on the proverbial couch thinking, \u201cDo I want to go that direction, or do I actually want to live a life?\u201d&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this same interview, Cate Blanchett further discussed how she felt she was missing out on many other things while dedicating a large chunk of her life to acting, even though the profession has been particularly rewarding to her.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>&#8220;Why am I still bothering to make movies?&#8221;- Cate Blanchett reflects on the many things she misses out on while working as an actress<\/h2>\n<p>Cate Blanchett has had a career that few would leave behind with any regret. From winning multiple Academy Awards to being one of the highest-paid actresses in the world, Blanchett has practically done it all. Perhaps this is one of the reasons <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/movies\/news-cate-blanchett-reportedly-serious-giving-acting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">she is now considering<\/a> doing things that she has missed out on for all this while.<\/p>\n<p>Even back in 2019, the actress boldly reflected on how she would also want to do other things that she perhaps would not be able to do while still being an actress. She told Julia Roberts:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Maybe it\u2019s just time to stop&#8230;.No, but it really is. I have to go onstage in my underwear yet again, and I\u2019m thinking, \u201cWhy? Why don\u2019t I just feed the chickens and read Proust?\u201d It\u2019s on my bookshelf staring at me right now. All these volumes I have purchased and not yet read. Why have I not picked those up? Why am I still bothering to make movies?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She further asked Julia Roberts why she was making movies, to which Roberts replied that they called her.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, with the latest revelation from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/us\/movies\/i-ve-never-encountered-story-like-this-when-cate-blanchett-made-feelings-clear-challenges-rewards-playing-lydia-tar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Cate Blanchett<\/a>, it seems that she will not be around in the industry for long now.

She is also set to appear in <em>Father, Mother, Sister, Brother, <\/em>which is also set to release in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear whether she signed any new projects following this one.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/628846-1714492835-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Sourav Chakraborty&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nSourav is an entertainment writer at SK POP, who is informed by his Bachelor&#8217;s degree in Mass Communication and Master&#8217;s degree in Film Studies.
