People on Twitter are noticing a pattern of passive-aggressive tweets from Guy Pearce toward Cate Blanchett.

It seems that Guy Pearce and Cate Blanchett, two of Australia’s biggest stars, may be locked in a secret feud. Recently, Pearce appeared to take a jab at Blanchett in a series of tweets following her win for Best Actress at the Critics’ Choice Awards. He had earlier expressed support for Ana De Armas over Blanchett for the Best Actress accolade. Pearce has since deleted the tweets and claimed that he was being “sarcastic” and that he “adores” Blanchett.

However, reports of past tensions between the two actors suggest otherwise. In 2008, Pearce was asked about appearing in a production of Poor Boy at the Sydney Theatre Company, which was headed by Blanchett at the time. He said, “If I’m not at home I might as well be doing something like a movie that pays a decent amount… unless she wants to pay me what she earns. If she does it’ll be the most the STC ever paid an actor, I guarantee.” This statement has been interpreted as a salary gripe with Blanchett.

This recent back-and-forth has left fans confused and curious about the nature of their relationship. Some have taken to social media to express their desire to know more about the supposed feud. The tweets have since been deleted and Pearce has claimed that there is no beef between him and Blanchett, but the evidence suggests otherwise. It’s unclear what the true nature of their relationship is, but it’s clear that there may be some unresolved issues between the two actors.
