I am serious about giving up acting, says Cate Blanchett

With a career spanning over three decades and two Oscar honours, actress Cate Blanchett said she is “serious” about stepping away from her craft one day. She said during a new interview with the UK’s Radio Times magazine, where the actress is promoting her forthcoming and first-ever audioplay, it was reported. While introducing herself for the tape, she hesitated to announce her title as actress, which co-director John Tiffany pointed out. She replied, “I did, didn’t I? It’s because I’m giving up.” The star clarified, “My family roll their eyes every time I say it, but I mean it. I am serious about giving up acting.” She added that there are “a lot of things I want to do with my life.” (IANS)
