Cate Blanchett, renowned for her role as Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings, has left fans in disbelief with her recent salary revelation. During a promotional appearance for her new film, Blanchett disclosed the astonishing truth about her earnings from the iconic series—turns out, she didn't get what many expected. Find out what she revealed and why it’s causing such a stir!

Cate Blanchett, known for her role as the powerful elven character Galadriel in the "Lord of the Rings" series, appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" to promote her new sci-fi film "Borderlands."

On "Watch What Happens Live," host Andy Cohen asked the actress which film had paid her the largest salary, hinting that it might be "The Lord of the Rings."

Cate Blanchett responded with, "Are you kidding me?" and said, "No, nobody paid me anything to make that film."

Blanchett's answer caused surprise in the studio. She elaborated,

'I can tell you about my salary for 'The Lord of the Rings': I only got free sandwiches and had to hold up my elf ears.' She then added, 'Women don’t get paid as much as you think.'

The "Lord of the Rings" series has earned $2.9 billion worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing film series of all time.

Orlando Bloom revealed last year that he was paid $175,000 for his role as Legolas in the three films.
