The Tár star is not shocked that her leaf blower dialogue has develop into a sizzling matter, noting that she “talk[s] about it all the time.”

“You just got me going about leaf blowers. They’re moronic. I mean, if you see someone with a leaf blower, doesn’t your blood pressure go up?” she requested her co-star Michael Fassbender, who had joined her for the interview.

He agreed with Blanchett, saying he “wonders when they’re going to come up with a silent leaf blower.”

Fassbender then provided to convey again “the rake” because the two-time Oscar winner supported him, “Yeah, bring back the rake.”
