'I'd shag Viggo Mortensen': Cate Blanchett reveals which Lord of the Rings co-star she would get intimate with, and who is destined for the chopping block
She never got intimate with him on screen when they starred in Lord of the Rings together.
But Cate Blanchett has revealed she wouldn't have minded getting up close and personal with her co-star Viggo Mortensen while chatting to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.
The 46-year-old star, who played the Queen of the Elves Galadriel in the epic trilogy, was playing a game of Shag, Marry, Kill on the TV show, which aired on Tuesday.

Choice: Cate Blanchett had to reveal who she would Shag, Marry or Kill on the Tuesday night edition of WWHL
She told the host: ‘I’d shag Viggo Mortensen.'
The two-time Oscar winner was asked to choose between her former co-stars, Orlando Bloom, 38, Elijah Wood, 34, and Viggo Mortensen, 56.
‘Shag Viggo Mortensen,’ said the Australian actress, without hesitation.
Mind bending: It was a tough call for the star to think of who to say out of her former co-stars
Laughter: Fellow guest on the show JUlie Andrews found the answer funny
Blanchett then opted to kill Orlando Bloom and marry the youngest of the three, Elijah Wood.
In another cringe-worthy game the alabaster-skinned beauty was asked which leading man she’d chose for her next steamy love scene.
She dismissed George Clooney because he recently got married: ‘Not appropriate,’ she announced.

Alec Baldwin was also struck off the list.
‘Alec just had a baby, not appropriate,’ she continued.
‘Leo’s not attached…but he is problematic,’ she giggled about the notorious playboy Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Hobbit star also denied Matt Damon because, ‘he has a lot of kids’.

Well I never! Julie was shocked by the response
Julie looked to agree as Cate dismissed George Clooney because he recently got married: ‘Not appropriate,’ she announced
The Monuments Men star eventually chose Robert Redford, 79.
When asked who from that list could ‘keep a secret’ she said ‘anyone by Alec’.
Blanchett then threw them all under the bus when asked to reveal ‘the biggest flirt or ladies man’
‘The obvious choice is DiCaprio but they’ve all had their moments,’ she decided.

Mein goodness! The trio then played a game of Edel Vice, with the help of some semi naked men
Tones torsos: The two women seemed very appreciative of the view
Blanchett, who is currently starring in the movie Truth, was joined by Oscar, Emmy and Grammy winner Julie Andrews.
Andrews, 80, was quizzed on her ‘naughty habits’.
The game was called ‘Edel Vice’, which Blanchett misheard as ‘An*l Vice’ to much hilarity.
Revealing all: Andy asked the two women what their vices were
‘I like chip butties,’ admitted Andrews, from England, who has a rose named after her.
‘That’s French fries in a sandwich with white bread,’ she explained for the American audience.
Andrews later defended Lady Gaga’s Sound of Music performance at The Oscars, which Stephen Sondheim branded ‘a travesty’.
‘I loved it,’ she said.
‘I had no idea she had that range and I was saying ‘go girl’,’ she said, noting that Gaga was ‘shaking’ when she met her.
Flashback: Cate was also asked to comment on some old shots of herself
Embarrassing? Andy attempted to ruffle them with the old clips and photos
Tasty: There was also a shot of Blanchett from a Tim Tam cookie commercial
A fan: She told the host they tasted 'so good"
‘She’s a terrific lady,’ she complimented.
The acting legend said that she won’t deliberately sit down to watch The Sound of Music or Mary Poppins.
‘If I stumble across it by accident or something I might watch a couple of seconds and say ‘oh I remember doing that’ or ‘I wish I had done that better’,’ she admitted.
In another game Blanchett exposed a bizarre quirk, that she ‘loves to eat pureed baby food’.
‘Anything pureed really,’ she said.
The host Andy Cohen attempted to ruffle the women with some photographs and video clips from years ago.
No escape: Julie also had some old footage played
Pal: She was shown at age 14, getting cozy with a ventriloquist’s dummy for the BBC
He showed a 1995 snap of Blanchett from the Australian mini series Bordertown where she played the recorder.
Also from ‘Andy’s Vault’ was a clip of Blanchett from a Tim Tam cookie commercial.
‘I want one now…they are so good,’ she said.
From the archives: Another vintage clip showed Andrews in 1989, draped in taffeta, slopping some cake mix onto Carol Burnett’s cleavage
Andrews was shown at age 14, getting cozy with a ventriloquist’s dummy for the BBC. She was also pictured ‘revealing some leg’ on a motorcycle on the set of Star and singing with Miss Piggy and The Muppets in 1977.
