“I got free sandwiches and elf ears,” Blanchett shared on the “What Happens Live!” show. According to her, the main motivation for participating in the movie was her faith in director Peter Jackson and his talent, demonstrated in the horror film “The Living Dead.”
When asked which movie brought her the most income, Cate Blanchett replied with a smile that “The Lord of the Rings” is clearly not one of them. “Are you kidding me? No, almost no one got paid fat to be in that movie. I mostly got free sandwiches, and I was also allowed to pick up elf ears. Women don’t get paid as much as you think,” the actress noted.
