A little video editing, and a two-time Oscar-winning actress, can go a long way.
A highly-curated interview with Cate Blanchett, which aired on The Project in Australia on Wednesday night, showed a feisty exchange between the interviewer Jonathan Hyla and the Cinderella star.

The three-minute clip saw Blanchett shut down Hyla over a beer offer, his inappropriate questioning and his lack of focus on the film " at one point asking: "Is that your ******** question?"
There was talk Cate Blanchett was trolling the world, that she had totally lost her cool or perhaps she hated Hyla's guts. Channel Ten, the station The Project is aired on, labelled the whole thing as #awkward in a now deleted tweet and the world (us included) ate it up.
The Project later released the full four-minute interview (above), clearing up all http://site-not-allowed/BZNIHw of the confusion. In reality, Blanchett and Hyla were on a brilliant, hilarious speed date amid the boredom of press junkets. This version shows the two talking about sexual positions, vodka, having children together and cats on leashes in between bursting into fits of hysterics.
This is Cate Blanchett in all her not-family-friendly glory, taking Hyla along for the magical ride.
Here is the original video:
