Cate Blanchett & Ian McKellen | Actors on Actors - Full Conversation

After journeying to Middle-earth together for the “Lord of the Rings” movies, Cate Blanchett and Ian McKellen are playing more grounded roles in this year’s films. In “Mr. Holmes,” McKellen stars as the famous detective in old age. Blanchett pulls double duty in “Carol,” as a 1950s housewife who falls for a younger woman; and in “Truth,” in which she plays embattled “60 Minutes” producer Mary Mapes.

Mithrandir: "when i was 25, i was quite gorgeous, i must say."

Galadriel: "you still are"

[piavu]

Both of their voices are so calm, so heavenly

[AgentDerevko]

It's like watching a king and queen

[jopabr]

Cate's voice when Ian says he used to be so gorgeous. The genuine, heartfelt emotion when she says "You still *are* Ian." I felt that in my heart.

[Schizm]

Ian McKellen... 76 years old and sill sharp as ever.
And Cate Blanchett- My God she's gorgeous

[GrayNeko]

Galadriel and Gandalf reunited. Thank you so much for sharing this. Their chemistry together is absolutely effortless.

[gpeddino]

It was so moving when Ian talked about dressing up as Gandalf and suddenly finding the character. Even Cate seemed emotional.

Ian McKellen: "I'm terrified of bees, but as it turns out they're absolutely charming" That might be the single greatest thing I will ever hear someone say on a talkshow.


Two of my absolute favorite living actors.

Cate Blanchett just seems like such a truly nice person, it's incredible. I bet she could talk with anybody and end up putting a smile on their face.

[LadyRow]

Cate Blanchett is a stunner. And I love her response to Ian recalling being gorgeous at 25. "You still are, Ian." What a quick and genuine response. They're both lovely.

I've seen a number of these Actors on Actors, and this one is the best. It's less like they're interviewing each other, and more like they're just having a friendly chat and giggle.

[Grotomode]

When I die, I want Gandalf and Galadriel to greet me at the gates of heaven. Or hell. Doesnt matter.

[isaiahbaggett]

16:50 "It's like when I first went to Middle Earth, which is where we met first..." - says is SOOOO casually and These two are amazing!!!

[zaynes]

I love that she still is proud of Rooney for her acting in Carol. For me, it was Rooney’s character that stole the show and she rightfully deserved the Oscar that year, but Cate really manages to embody that classy, upper-class American Carol character. They had such easy chemistry.

[julianwalker]

Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep are easily the greatest actresses of our time

[AnDi-slkd]

6:50 Cate's face when Ian ask her about Carol, just priceless ^__^

[ChiliPeppz]

Cate Blanchett is the epitome of class and elegance, she's beautiful!

[MiakoKoneo]

Cate and Ian are seriously one of the very very very top amazing astonishing actors in the entire world.

6:48 I love that naughty look she gives Ian when he asks her about Carol. Cate, you sexy beast! :D
