Cate Blanchett likens Donald Trump's inauguration as US President to a 'midlife crisis' adding that it's 'absurd' and 'ridiculous' during interview with Jimmy Fallon
Cate Blanchett appeared on Monday night's The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon to promote her debut Broadway play, The Present.
But at the New York studio, talk soon turned to Donald Trump's inauguration as the 45th US President, last week.
Describing the businessman's decision to run as a 'midlife crisis,' the 47-year-old added that the turn of events is 'absurd' and 'ridiculous.'

'How many times has he [Donald Trump] been bankrupt?' Cate stated on the late night program.
'It's better to burn your money than give to the republican. It's great to be doing something about midlife crisis because it's absurd and ridiculous.
'I mean, almost as absurd and ridiculous as a man who has filed for corporate bankruptcy four times, who’s running the largest economy in the world,' the Academy Award winner sarcastically added.

Cate is currently in New York, starring in the Sydney Theatre Company's production of The Present on Broadway.
The Present is Andrew Upton's adaptation of Chekhov's Platonov, running for 13 weeks from January 8.
Andrew, Cate, and actor Richard Roxburgh, have dabbled in New York theatre before, including 2012's run of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya at the Lincoln Center - but never on Broadway.
The Present unfolds over the course of a birthday celebration in the post-Perestroika Russian countryside when old flames reignite.
