Cate Blanchett will have to strap down her chest to play Bob Dylan in the singer's biopic 'I'm Not There'.
Cate Blanchett had her breasts "strapped down" for her latest movie. The Oscar-winning actress plays legendary singer
Bob Dylan in the new biopic '
I'm Not There' - directed by Todd Haynes - and admits she had to make some major adjustments to her body.
She said: "I had to strap those breasts down, and just go for it!"
Blanchett wanted to star in the film after seeing Haynes' controversial movie 'Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story', which acted out the tragic anorexic singer's life story with Barbie dolls. She added in an interview with W magazine: "It was really emotionally honest, this Barbie doll barfing into the toilet."
Earlier this month, Haynes revealed Blanchett was terrified of playing Dylan at the time of his folk-rock period. Haynes said: "Cate was scared. She told me many times this was a very scary challenge for her. I told her, 'You can't be totally terrified every time you do a new role, but it's good to be terrified sometimes. You're taking risks, you're putting yourself on a potential arrow, that when you really discover new things, and you rejuvenate.' And that's probably why she decided to give it a shot."
