Cate Blanchett got sexy in the sand for the October issue of W Magazine [1]. She may be playing Bob Dylan in one of her latest movies, but there's no doubting her femininity in these photos. It's still hard for us to imagine her playing Bob but the pictures of Cate as Bob [2] are pretty amazing. In the article, Cate dishes about working on I'm Not There [3] and how she never steps away from a challenge. Here are highlights [4]:

• On the roles she chooses: "I used to constantly play that Truth, Dare, Kiss or Promise game as a child. I guess I've never outgrown it. If somebody challenges me to do something, I say okay. I say okay very quickly."
• On playing Bob Dylan: "It's another crazy idea," she says. "I just strapped those breasts down and went for it."

We love how bold Cate is and that she's secure enough with herself to take risks with her acting. So far it seems to be working - she was even named best actress at the Venice Film Festival [5] for I'm Not There [6].
