Update: Cate Blanchett got paid nothing for ‘Lord Of The Rings’ see more…
The Peter Jackson-directed trilogy star debunked the rumours of the movie being a high-paying job during her appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live, as she participated in “Plead the Fifth” with the host Andy Cohen, where he asks his guest three hard questions and can only veto one of them.
Cohen enquired Blanchett about her “biggest paycheck” that came from a movie.
The Borderlands star told the host to make his best guess on which movie he thinks would be the answer to the question.
Cohen guessed Lord of the Rings, which seemed to shock Blanchett.
“Are you kidding me?” Blanchett said. “No, no one got paid anything to do that movie.”
Cohen interrogated if Blanchett got a percentage of the movie’s box office success, to which she said, “No, that was way before any of that.”
