Australian actor Cate Blanchett has revealed a frightening medical scare she suffered while in quarantine at her home in England.
According to a report, the 51-year-old actor and mother of four joined Julia Gillard, the former Prime Minister of Australia, on her podcast last week, where she was asked about her time spent in quarantine amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aside from helping out her children with their schoolwork following school closures, the 'Thor: Ragnarok' star revealed some details about the close call but stressed it wasn't as serious as it sounds.
Blanchett said on a podcast with Julia Gillard,' "I had a bit of a chainsaw accident yesterday which sounds very, very exciting but it wasn't."
"Apart from the little nick to my head, we're fine," Blanchett assured the host without revealing exactly what she was doing with the mechanical tool.
"Be very careful with that chainsaw. You've got a very famous head," Gillard responded. "I don't think they will want to see any nicks taken out of it."
Blanchett said with a laugh: "I know I want to keep it on my shoulders!" —TOI
