Blanchett's Kids Step Behind The Camera

Actress CATE BLANCHETT's kids were thrilled when STEVEN SPIELBERG gave them the chance to step behind the camera and direct their mother in the new INDIANA JONES movie.

Blanchett stars in Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull alongside Harrison Ford and often brought her children Dashiell, seven, and Roman, four, onto the set.

And director Spielberg was so happy to have to the young family there, he let the kids take on his job and direct a scene featuring their mum.

Blanchett tells Britain's OK! magazine, "My kids were so welcome on set. In fact, Steven Spielberg even let them direct me one day - they would call 'Action!' and they were highly critical.

"Steve was so welcoming to my family. And that was really special."

Blanchett gave birth to her third child with husband Andrew Upton, Ignatius, in April (08).
