Blanchett upset about her namesake

LONDON: Australian actress Cate Blanchett, shares her name with a disliked banker and the star is so upset that she is considering changing her name.
 
The Oscar-winning actress said she was moved to tears after she received a letter from a fan from Australia, who appealed to the actress to change her name, the Contactmusic reported.
 
"It was quite painful to read because their farm in Australia had been repossessed and the woman from the bank, who had repossessed the farm, was called Caitlin Blankett.
 
"The man had written to me saying would I please change my name because every time his wife sees my films she bursts into tears."
