I haven’t been posting the photos we’ve gotten from the New York set of Ocean’s Eight, the all-lady update of Ocean’s Eleven. The cast is pretty great: Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock are the “Clooney & Pitt” of the crew, and they’re being helped by Anne Hathaway, Mindy Kaling, Helena Bonham Carter, Sarah Paulson and Rihanna. Reportedly, Matt Damon (OG Ocean’s cast member) will have a cameo. And I think Damien Lewis might be the bad guy? Anyway, I’m looking forward to it and I’m enjoying the set photos, especially with Cate Blanchett’s rocker-chick look. But since it’s a big group of women, you just know that people are going to try to make it into a catfight. Look, it’s already started!
They’re the Hollywood heavyweights who started filming Ocean’s Eight just a few weeks ago. But Cate Blanchett and Anne Hathaway are reportedly ‘butting heads’ on set of the all-female reboot of the popular movie franchise.
‘Cate’s very laid back and easygoing, but Anne’s rubbing her the wrong way,’ an insider told Woman’s Day magazine. ‘They had a few angry words and didn’t speak for a few days. Now they’re trying to keep things cordial… but it’s difficult to say the least.’
According to the magazine, Anne, 34, is also clashing with other members of the star studded cast, which includes Sandra Bullock, Sarah Paulson, Mindy Kaling, Dakota Fanning and Rihanna. Daily Mail Australia has approached Cate and Anne’s respective representatives for comment.
Out of that group, would you choose Anne Hathaway and Blanchett as the potential beef? I would not. I feel like we, as a society, are primed to believe anything about Anne Hathaway, especially if it’s about her being extra, or prissy, or annoying. But within that group, I wouldn’t say that I would have predicted an alleged beef between Cate and Anne. Cate seems like she would mother-hen the younger actresses more than anything else. Now, Sandra and Anne? Perhaps. Considering the original source for this was Woman’s Day, all of it probably crap. That’s what Hathaway’s rep says! He denied this story flat-out. Blanchett’s rep did not!
