(CNN)Cate Blanchett dressed up as her daughter's teacher duringthe early months of the pandemic in order to get homeschooling done.

When Blanchett's 7-year-old daughter began staying home in March 2020 due to Covid-19, Blanchett had to take on the role of teacher, which, she tells the BBC, wasn't easy. She said her daughter "wouldn't allow me at all to teach math or do phonics unless I dressed up as her teacher and put on her teacher's voice."
