CATE Blanchett loves the way she looked in 2004 movie The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou — because she was surprisingly tanned.

“I was quite tanned, which is really unusual for me,” the actress, 40, told Stylelist magazine.

“I quite liked having better color, because I’m ordinarily so pale.”

“Back then,” Cate recalled, “I’d go to bed with my makeup on if I’d been out. And I went through a big gothic phase, so my pillow was always covered in black mascara and white pancake makeup.”

Cate recently revealed that she has no work in the pipeline because the scripts she’s being sent aren’t “any good”.

“There’s nothing I’ve read that’s any good,” she said.
