Twitter is delighting over the “chaotic energy” of an Instagram live by Carol stars Sarah Paulson and Cate Blanchett which included a discussion about Blanchett attempting to dye her pubic hair.
The pair, who also star together in Ocean’s 8 and the new FX series Mrs America, did an Instagram live Q&A for W Magazine in which they discussed their friendship and the new show.
The hilarious livestream saw Cate Blanchett dropping her phone and playing a harmonica, while Sarah Paulson was cry-laughing and saying she had a “great, big derriere”.

During a discussion about merkins, Blanchett blurted out: “I kept trying to dye my pubic hair a very, very long time ago…”
She was cut off by Paulson who delightedly said: “Ladies and gentlemen, sit down, this is the best thing that’s ever happened. Go ahead, you tried to dye your pubic hair.”
Blanchett continued: “Well, look, it’s very tough to bleach. For one of the first jobs I did, I don’t know why I was cast, it was before people had the sense that people had to cast within their racial spectrum. I was cast as an albino Italian.
“I had to show the… what was down there. So I thought I’ll try and bleach it because obviously I’m albino.
“And it just didn’t work. So I had to wear a merkin. It didn’t budge! It’s really hard to budge.”

But Blanchett’s interest in dyeing her pubic hair did not stop there.
She said: “I was so obsessed by this that [with] a friend about 10 years later we both tried to bleach them and dye them blue.”
Paulson announced: “Ladies and gentlemen, Cate Blanchett has a blue business!”
But Blanchett responded: “No, but I don’t! I wish I had a blue business, but it just doesn’t last.”
