>> Cate Blanchett Denies Having Sexual Relationships With Women
[spacer]
Dans un article paru sur Variety, l’actrice, qui joue dans le film lesbien Carol, présenté au Festival de Cannes, avait affirmé avoir eu des histoires avec des femmes, mais rien de sexuel.
« Dans mon souvenir, il m’a été demandé “avez-vous eu des relations avec des femmes ?” et j’ai dit oui, souvent. Si vous voulez dire des relations sexuelles avec des femmes, la réponse est non. Mais cela n’a pas été imprimé », a expliqué Cate Blanchett, en redéroulant l’interview.
Ce qui est plus choquant pour l’actrice ? Qu’on s’intéresse à la réponse qu’elle peut donner à ce genre de questions.
« En 2015, la réponse ne devrait pas avoir d’importance », a-t-elle déclaré avant de déplorer que l’homosexualité soit encore « illégale dans 70 pays ». « Nous vivons une époque profondément conservatrice », a regretté la comédienne.
>> Cate Blanchett made headlines last week when Variety published an interview with her in which the magazine quoted her saying that she had past relationships with women “many times.”
But during a press conference for her movie “Carol” at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, May 17, the 46-year-old actress denied dating women. Blanchett insisted that she didn’t say she had been in a relationship with a woman during her interview with Variety.
“From memory, the conversation ran, ‘Have you had relationships with women?’ And I said, ‘Yes, many times. Did you mean have I had sexual relationships with women? Then the answer is no.’ But that (last part) obviously didn’t make into print,'” the two-time Oscar-winning actress said.
Blanchet added that she doesn’t understand why some people are so much interested in her personal life.
“In 2015, the point should be, ‘Who cares?’ Call me old-fashioned, but I thought one’s job as an actor was not to present one’s boring, small, microscopic universe,” she said during the press conference. “My own life, is of no interest to anyone else. Maybe it is. I don’t know. I’m certainly not interested in putting my own thoughts and opinions up there.”
