cate blanchettCate Blanchett has said it’s really obvious that she’s the baddie in the new Indiana Jones film - because she’s got a weird hairstyle.

She told Parade magazine recently: “I’ve got the ugliest hairstyle I’ve ever seen. If that doesn’t send signals that she’s the villain then there’s no point.

“Once I got into [the role though], I actually found it quite liberating playing a really bad girl because you can sort of do anything you want.”

But she added that not even the hairstyle could keep her away from the part in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: “I’ve always wanted to do something with lots of action in it. So when Steven Spielberg said, ‘Come be a part of Indiana Jones’, I could hardly say ‘no’.

“I grew up with the Indy films; they’re part of cinematic landscape.”
