Cate Blanchett Does Bob Dylan

Cate Blanchett Does Bob Dylan
Cate Blanchett donned a dark, curly wig and glasses for her role as Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic on the singer/songwriter’s life, “I’m Not There.” Cate portrays Dylan during the 60’s, while Richard Gere and Heath Ledger embody Dylan during other stages in his life.

The 38 year old Aussie actress said she was “terrified” to take the role, because of her huge amount of respect for Dylan.

Blanchett told the Guardian: “I have always loved his (Dylan) music, but I’m terrified about this because I am besotted”.

“I watched the press conference he gave in San Francisco in 1965, or whenever it was, and just think, ‘I love you.’

She added: “The worst thing an actor can do is fall in love with someone they’re about to portray, but I’m not playing him, my character is called Jude.

“It’s a riff on who Bob Dylan could possibly be. When I saw the script I thought, ‘This is so out there I can’t run away from this’.”
