Cate Blanchett threw one interviewer for a loop this week.

While promoting her latest film “Carol,” where she plays a bisexual woman, the interviewer asked a married Blanchett if this was her first time playing a lesbian.
“In film — or in real life?” Blanchett asked before “smiling coyly,” Variety reports. “Yes, many times.”

The Oscar winner and mother of four declined to elaborate further about her bisexual past, but said she is against labeling sexual orientations.
“I’ve never thought about it,” Blanchett said when asked about taking on a role where her lesbian character doesn’t come out.
“I think there are a lot of people that exist like that who don’t feel the need to shout things from the rafters.” (VIDEO: Cate Blanchett To Interviewer: ‘That’s Your F****** Question?!’)
