How did you and your significant other meet?

[@s_shaleh]

She has the air of a classic Hollywood movie star. I remember the first time I saw her in Elizabeth back in 1999 (she was robbed of an Oscar for that role btw) and being so captivated by her performance. She's incredibly talented and versatile too. Her early roles cemented her as a serious dramatic actress but over the years she has shown her lighter, comedic side too.

[@BadBoy93143]

She is very funny in real life, has this acid and twisted sense of humour that I just love.

[@kinglear7]

Her performance in Elizabeth is what made me become an actor. Brilliant brilliant brilliant.

[@violimo]

Blame Harvey Weinstein who over egged Gwyneth Paltrow so much. Prharrassed a few people too,

[@kahlernygard809]

Well, she played Hepburn in the aviator and killed it in that role. I feel she incorporated Hepburn into her personality (method acting)

[@rics1883]

Dude watch her in Tar. It 2nd time she robbed of Oscar, she gave masterclass in acting

[@violimo]

I knew Andrew Upton when he was 18 we were both on a playwriting committee together. He definitely has an 'it' factor and is also intelligent, and stood up for himself. I liked him. Cate could see those qualities too.

[@jacquelinejoyce8066]

Cate and Andrew seem like a good match to me.

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

[@lindayoung1387]

I am eternally fascinated by Cate Blanchett and have watched all but her last film. She is iconic in every sense of the word and has a great sense of humour; of course too beautiful for words! She takes on "gutsy" roles and I admire her for that!

[@angelaholmes8888]

Glad that cate and her husband have managed to keep their marriage together after all these years and are happy 🙂💖

[@MrKheya]

Thank you for making this video. So many videos about Cate Blanchett implie that she is secretly lesbian. Personally, I think she's one of those personalities which attract others regardless of gender. I think that's what makes her a true star. Anyway, thanks again.

[@Someone30056]

Hehe she is a lesbian. Shes our lesbian icon. Jokes, no one really knows but she is in a happy marriage so… thoes lesbian video’s are just jokes. I think its funny

[@JJW77]

[@userrdm14]

Cate Blanchett is just stunning & an amazing actress. The guy is lucky.

[@vnzchr]

What a lovely family 🥺✨

[@joanannewallace]

It's strange how a lot of beautiful famous women marry unattractive men an even then the man goes off with someone younger prettier.

[@Mexicobeanpole]

I’ve noticed that too. Like, what the heck?

[@piriyaj1347]

Sometimes being with someone so good/rich/beautiful/famous can make one feel little. Men especially don’t really like being overshadowed or dominated, and thus turn to other younger meeker things that easily make them feel like a king. Not that they wish for a divorce though. Most still value the queen of their house very deeply, but they just can’t shake this feeling off.

[@frogmouth]

No he didn't. He is recognised in our home country Australia. They are equals and work together. Her profile is higher because she is a performer not a director

[@thexxit]

@@frogmouth They were both not well recognized when they got married. That's not in question. I meant Cate is a gem. I seem to have touched a nerve here - you've misunderstood my post. If you read it again, I said he married up "as most men do." This has nothing to do with him or her professionally. I don't think either is a gold digger....

[@frogmouth]

@@thexxit thanks. I often miss the point being made in American English.

[@roter13]

Why did he marry up? Because she's attractive?

[@thexxit]

@@roter13 Who knew my simple comment would cause such controversy 🤣

[@Iflie]

i think being self employed is probably easier when you make millions for every job and you can employ nannies and a house regardless. It's not like they will suddenly be out of a job and money. But she's not only beautiful but so full of personality I think he must be a great guy no matter what he looks like to keep her around. And she does seem like a hands on parent.

[@joyandpeacefullaughter5307]

I am a Taurus -we are opinionated and outspoken , but also reserved and picky about who we like and will come off as aloof .The chaos part , I don’t think it applies to most, seems likes to be busy. With 4 kids and possibly pets , I can see the chaos when you add the fact that they also have creative endeavors and other things going on.

[@zeyuwang8636]

Andrew’s role is cate‘husband. when cate can earn a lot money，Andrew do not need to work at all. They have 4 children. Andrew‘s job is to take care of the family and children. Then cate have time to make films.

He has small, close together, boggled eyes, a potato shaped head, a receding hairline and a bulbous nose. Also a lovely bald patch on the back of his head. His face looks like it’s slowly sliding downward off his skull. I’d be in love too if I had met him. Brad Pitt eat your heart out because Andrew is the man. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@user-mq6dl8io1k]

What a strange couple😃

[@ashleybellofsydney]

Think about it. Cate and Andrew meet. They don't especially like another, they have nothing in common; and then they grow to hate one another. She is 'aloof' ( which is code for lesbian), he is 'arrogant' (which means 'gay'). Look at them together. There is ABSOLUTELY NO SEXUAL CHEMISTRY WHATSOEVER. She is using him to keep her gay secret. He is using her for creative success and financial security. Think about this: Why would you prepare a meal for a lover, if you knew you couldn't cook? Doesn't sound actually true now you've thought about it, hey? Why would you cook A FISH WITH WALNUTS AND GOAT CHEESE FOR A STRAIGHT GUY?

[@leviackermans4641]

Wtf this is interesting 🤨 maybe their both in open relationship! But still co-parent..but that wouldn’t make sense.

[@leviackermans4641]

@tenstoreylovesong true but she probably tries to stay loyal I mean considering how Andrew Upton has great success and knowledge about theater acting, so Cate had a great advantage

[@frogmouth]

ha ha! you just don't get Sydney!

[@chiara8561]

Same feeling here. It is very strange. Probably a contract made by PR The way she talks about her husband and children seems staged. The marriage is their fortune because people don't ask questions about their private life (they seems a normal couple)

[@Sishel]

Interesting theory, but why would she want to keep her gay secret? Seems to me that if she was gay, she’d had no problem being openly gay. Also, it’s very common for people to go from hate to love, it’s even a cliché.
