Cate Blanchett says she’s had relationships with women “many times”

First Miley Cyrus and now Cate Blanchett.

The two-time Oscar winner says in a cover story in Variety that she has had relationships with women.

Blanchett, who turns 46 today, stars in the lesbian drama Carol which premieres at the Cannes Film Festival this week.

Variety asked Blanchett if this was her first turn as a lesbian and she curled her lips into a smile and coyly asked: ‘On film — or in real life?’

Asked if she’s had past relationships with women, Blanchett replied: ‘Yes. Many times,”

But she doesn’t elaborate.

Like her film character, who never ‘comes out’ as a lesbian, Blanchett doesn’t necessarily rely on labels for sexual orientation.

“I never thought about it,” she says of how she envisioned the character. ‘I don’t think Carol thought about it.’

The actress studied the 1950s era when the film is set by reading banned erotic novels.

‘I read a lot of girl-on-girl books from the period,’ she says.
