In her own words, she believes that maintaining a private life allows her to preserve her creativity and sense of self. Blanchett and her family have spent time living in both Australia and the United Kingdom, moving according to their work, schooling, and creative projects. Their homes reflect a lifestyle centered on family, reading, the arts, and environmental consciousness. Environmental sustainability – she is an advocate for renewable energy and conscious living. Humanitarian work – as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, she participates in refugee advocacy on a global scale.
Theater and literature – these remain passions that carry into her home life. Privacy for the sake of creativity – she often notes that the less the public knows about her personal life, the more freely she can transform into characters. Cate Blanchett’s private life is intentionally unglamorous and unpublicized. She avoids social media and has expressed discomfort with the culture of constant self-promotion. Instead, she prioritizes her family, her craft, her advocacy, and a sense of “normal life” behind closed doors.
