Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett says that she never wants to go to work.

The actress is back on our screens this September as she teams up with Woody Allen for his new film Blue Jasmine.

And we are going to be seeing plenty of Blanchett on the big screen in the next year or so as The Turning, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Monuments Men and Knight of Cups are all on the horizon.

And while all of these great roles are coming her way, she says that she still finds it hard going to work.

Speaking to Press Association the actress said: "I never want to work. Even when you're presented with these great opportunities, I think, 'I really love being in my pyjamas with the kids'."

Despite wanting to stay at home Blanchett says she still finds herself taking on these parts.

"Woody Allen picks up the phone, what am I going to say? I'm not going to be that schmuck who says, 'Mmmm, maybe not.' I get out of my pyjamas and I go to work."

Blue Jasmine will be the first time that she has worked with Woody Allen, while Alec Baldwin and Sally Hawkins are also on the cast list.

Blue Jasmine is released 27th September.
