'There are so many lives I want to live': Cate Blanchett says she is 'not panicking' about turning 50... and admits she misses Australia since relocating to England
She's the Oscar-winning actress who relocated to East Sussex, England in 2016.
And in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, Cate Blanchett admitted that she misses her native Australia.
The mother-of-four also revealed that she is 'not panicking' about turning 50 next May, saying that 'there are so many lives' she still wants to live.

'There are so many lives I want to live': Cate Blanchett told Harper's Bazaar this week she is 'not panicking' about turning 50, as she admits to missing Australia since relocating to England
'We [her family] miss this country so much. It's magnetic. I don't think you really ever leave,' Cate said.
Having been based in Sydney's Hunter's Hill from 2005 to 2016, the Melbourne-born star now lives in Crowborough, East Sussex with her husband Andrew Upton and their four children.
The couple are proud parents to sons Dashiell John, 16, Roman Robert, 14, Ignatius Martin, 10, and adopted daughter Edith, four.
Cate, who is also a Giorgio Armani global beauty ambassador, told Harper's Bazaar that she is 'not panicking' about turning 50 next May.

'I think about it on an existential level, sure, but on a career level, I refuse. It's important to keep karate-chopping those doors down and creating new opportunities not just for yourself, but also for those who are coming up behind you,' she said.
'I'm not panicking on a work level. It's more that there are so many lives I want to live.'
It's not the first time Cate has spoken candidly about ageing.
She told InStyle last October that she would tell her younger self to 'champion a different type of beauty' rather than try to conform.

Referring to a time in her twenties when she was living in Australia and desperate to tan her pale skin, Cate said: 'You're so vulnerable to other people's interpretations and impressions of what you should look like.
'And I'd say "f**k that" a bit more. And that's where women can step in and really champion different types of beauty and working [with] what you've got.
'Everyone's starting to look the same and talk the same, it's only interesting when we're all [different] - it's the melting pot, right? I'd worry about it less.'
