Cate Blanchett defies Tinseltown

The Oscar-winning actress boasts a wicked sense of self-confidence and insists that she has no interest in looking younger than her 41 years.

"There's so much pressure and fear to do all that surgery stuff but I'm really not interested in looking 25 again," she declared.

Blanchett even detests wearing make-up, claiming to wear as little as possible: "There's a temptation when you get older to put on more make-up, but I try to keep mine looking natural. Even on screen - if you've got heaps on, it acts as a mask and as an actor, it's all about taking off a mask and revealing emotion.”

So true.
