Cate Blanchett takes kids to movie sets

Actress Cate Blanchett says she enjoys taking her sons on as many film sets as possible so they can experience her job and see how the movie industry works.
The 43-year-old, who has sons Dashiell, 11, Roman, eight, and Ignatius, four, with husband Andrew Upton, lets her kids come backstage, reported Contactmusic.
"It's like being a circus family, in the way doctors and lawyers don't hide their children from what they do. It's a pretty exciting place backstage and I filmed for eight days on 'The Hobbit' and it was so exciting for them because they saw the 3D cameras, they watched all the stunt guys and could see how the film was put together, so it was good," she said.

Blanchett added she has taken a step back from acting in recent years so she can raise her sons.
"I haven't made a film for quite a long time, because I've been doing theatre, but it gets to the point where they are not so portable, so you make the choice to do less. It's been great to be in Australia, but they come backstage.
