Two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett has admitted that retirement is looking tempting after making her latest movie "Tár".
The star plays Lydia Tár who rises to become the first-ever female conductor of a German orchestra.
After winning a Golden Globe for her role in Todd Fields’ feature, Blanchett explained that the physical and emotional aspects of shooting "Tár" have taken their toll and she needs to process it.
"I think it was because it was such a physical role, the echoes of it are still with me and I think I’m like a lot of audience members, I need time to process it," she told The Sunday Project.
"Obviously I’m lucky enough to work with some amazing directors who have changed my life, but when it all comes together like that, it does stay with you. So I don't ever want to work again."
The 53-year-old Australian actress, who is now based in the United States, went on to say she has 'been profoundly homesick over the last four years' and dreams of going back to Australia to potter around the garden.
Blanchett then joked that there are 'millions of people around the world applauding right now' after hearing of her plans for retirement.
It comes after the "Lord of The Rings" star came under fire for her Golden Globe-winning role in the movie "Tár".
Many condemned the critically acclaimed movie as "anti-woman" due to Blanchett's character being revealed to be a narcissistic bully.
