Sometimes It Takes A Woman To Do A Man’s Job
August 23rd, 2007
Cate Blanchett is going to be one of a hand full of actors to play Bob Dylan in an upcoming film about the famed musician. She better really butch it up cause she’s still looking a bit too feminine in this pic to pull off playing a male.
The Australian actress, 38, is one of six actors including Heath Ledger, Richard Gere and up-and-coming British actor Ben Whishaw who will make an appearance as Dylan - each embodying a different aspect of his life story and music.
However Blanchett’s casting is by far the most unconventional - and the usually unflappable actress said the prospect of it “terrified” her. Blanchett told the Guardian: “I have always loved his (Dylan) music, but I’m terrified about this because I am besotted”.
