With the world of leisure nonetheless on pause because of Coronavirus restrictions, many well-known actors immediately have loads of free time on their fingers. This appears to have each been a profit and a curse relying on who you’re speaking to. One star that’s had blended outcomes is Thor: Ragnarok and Lord of the Rings‘ Cate Blanchett, who revealed on a latest podcast that she’d suffered a self-inflicted chainsaw damage to the top.
The revelation got here on A Podcast of One’s Personal with Julia Gillard, hosted by the previous Australian Prime Minister. Whereas chatting about what they’d been getting as much as in lockdown, Blanchett casually talked about that she had “had a little bit of a chainsaw accident.”
…Say what?
She tried to minimize the seriousness of the accident, including that it: “Sounds very, very thrilling, but it surely wasn’t. Other than the little nick to the top, I’m high quality.”
Talking as somebody with chainsaw coaching (I’ve the certificates to show it!), I can verify that at no level when you’re working a chainsaw ought to the blade be within the neighborhood of your head. In truth, it’s not unknown for folks to by accident kill themselves on this means, normally when the blade bounces again off of an unexpectedly onerous substance and recoils again in the direction of your tender, inviting and eminently chainsawable face.
Gillard warned Blanchett to be careful sooner or later, saying:
“Be very cautious with that chainsaw. You’ve obtained a really well-known head, I don’t assume folks want to see any nicks taken out of it.”
Sadly, the actress wouldn’t go into exact particulars of what she was doing with a chainsaw throughout lockdown, so we’ll have to make use of our imaginations (I’m going with Deadites). You may anticipate to see Blanchett and her nonetheless intact head in a lot of upcoming motion pictures although, with essentially the most fascinating being her enjoying Lilith in Eli Roth’s adaptation of the favored Borderlands video games.
