I love Cate asking Sean questions as well like they're having a normal conversation. You can tell she doesn't go on the internet, so she's genuinely curious about Sean and the show.

Yeah, she had no idea what he meant when he said "this camera, this camera or this camera". She hasn't seen the show before. I think these high profile guests should have someone give them a quick explanation... or at least watch an episode first. I am surprised she or any famous person would do this if they didn't know what to expect. And yes, I wonder what she wrote on her hand!

[@amenadiel6595]

I always thought Cate was kind of intimidating because of the roles she plays, but this totally smashed that perception. She is one of the loveliest and most personable guests Sean has ever had.

[@cityatwar]

She's great at playing pretentious people, so I always thought that had to be an aspect of her personality but, surprisingly, she seems to be really sweet.

[@BlackDiamond2718]

Tbh you can see it in her characters too. Galadriel showed power and strength beyond comprehension and yet she comforted Frodo when he was in doubt and Gandalf about Bilbo. Hela had a sense of humor so it helped too.

[@37thraven]

This is such wholesome assumption! Obviously she's not the characters she plays. But she does carry herself prim & gracefully like a 1930s golden age actor. You can see her break composure a few times throughout this interview though :)

That's changing though. If you're a film fan like me and you've been paying attention; you can see a very slow conversion of people finally agreeing with you.

I was always a huge fan of hers, but “The curious case of Benjamin Button” is when she literally blew my mind. I’m ADHD and that film is THREE HOURS LONG, and I went to see it in the theater THREE TIMES. For me, that is a nearly impossible feat, but I was just so mesmerized by her. Benjamin Button could have been played by probably dozens of different actors, Taraji and Cate are what was memorable about that film for me!!

I absolutely love when the guests realize what an intelligent man Sean Evans is, and suddenly, the interview switches into more of a conversation. Such talent on both ends.

[@cinefiend4059]

This show never ceases to amaze me. Cate is one of my top 3 favorite actresses of all-time and in my head I never imagined she would ever commit to doing this because she’s Cate. But whatever Sean and his team did to make her say yes I am forever grateful to them because this was such a special moment. Cate killed it and Sean once again impressed with the questions.

[@richardmullins1883]

They probably offered for her to showcase her acting skills by eating faux hot sauce while looking like you're actually in pain. It's genius

I always found Cate to be unbelievably striking, with such poise and elegance, while still have a down to Earth quality and a sense of humour, and she did not disappoint in this episode. Such a class act! I love how engaged she was with Sean and it was so cute how she had no idea about how things would go down. "What's this? This looks, are you going to throw it me or something?" Thank you to the Hot Ones team, Sean, and Cate.

What a great interview, I think cate is one of the few interviewees that asked how sean got started with this, and the genuine compliment regarding his place in the show. Also her voice, even when speaking normally, plus her wit! I sort of miss cate in lotr, she was such a good galadriel.

[@bellabana]

Cate Blanchett is not only an incredibly gifted actress as she can play any genre so realistically from highbrow, Indie, comedy to action movies. But she’s also scarily intelligent and articulate, her interviews are just so interesting to watch just from her use of language. Plus she’s also so down to earth with a great Aussie sense of humour.

[@JackDubyaMcDermott]

I always love it when the guest interviews Sean and asks him questions. It really shows how much they're invested in the experience in wanting to enjoy and have a good time, and not just treating it as more facetime to promote themselves. Makes for a fun episode!

What makes your channel so GREAT is the same quality of asking great human questions and not taking advantage of your guests. You put them in a vulnerable position and yet you are trustworthy. This perspective is soooo needed so thank you. It's fun AND the interview style goes deeper, deeper into the human condition than it needs to for likes. It's what we need right now so keep that center (as I think you already do) and I feel you reflecting the honor that it is to hold space for high level artists and their visceral reactions. This channel transcends gimmick and touches the real. It's rare. Good work!

Please watch her other work. She is acting genius

[@esperago]

What I really want to know, from Kate (I hope she's reading the comments or her kids are) is why Bono of U2 dedicated a part of a U2 song to her during a Sydney concert on November 11, 2006. The band had just finished playing 80% of their song 'Kite' when out of nowhere, Bono yelps "This is for Kate Blanchette" and the Edge proceeds to play not only an extremely rare guitar solo but a second, extended solo during that particular song, effectively doubling the length of the song to 8-9 minutes. Then they added a bunch of didgeridoos over the song's outro. What I want to know is what did Kate ask of the band? Did she ask "Hey Edge, I know you never do guitar solos but I love your playing so much would you play me a special extended solo during my favorite song, Kite?" And U2 then did it? It's such a weird specific change to the song and such a rarity that Edge plays solos, that it must have been what she asked... which means she is a huge U2 nerd. This is what I want to know and since the band released it as a b-side to a single, it'd be nice to have that information public. BTW... you can find the song on KZbin by searching for "Kite live Sydney 2006". It's the long version.
