Cate Blanchett Is A Messy, Star-Stricken Ordinary Woman

Cate Blanchett has confessed she is a "mess". The Oscar-winning actress insists she is not the "superwoman" she is portrayed to be.

Cate told In Style magazine: "That's so not me. I'm a mess! "I guess there is a lot of positive spin about me, but I'm certainly not a superwoman."

The 37-year-old "Good German" star also confessed she still gets star-struck when she is introduced to other Hollywood celebrities. She said: "I don't see myself as a celebrity. When we were performing 'Hedda Gabler' on stage in Brooklyn, it was thrilling for everyone when Meryl Streep and Jane Fonda came to see the show. My problem is, I can be shy around these people."

Cate lost out on a second Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Notes on a Scandal" to Jennifer Hudson last month.
