Winslet added: “I get people coming up to me saying ‘I loved you in Elizabeth’, it happens a lot.”
Blanchett played Queen Elizabeth I in the 1998 drama about her rise to power in 1558.
On the chat show, British actress Winslet, who has also won an Oscar, discussed what it was like to play a dictator for upcoming satirical drama The Regime.
She said: “It really is very funny, and we wet ourselves laughing every day.
“After COVID, being in a pack of actors was overwhelming - we had all missed that sense of just playing when you get into a room and fire off each other. It was just a great experience.”
Asked if she felt confident going into the role, she added: “I never feel confident. It was completely terrifying.
“I have never played a character like this before. She is so absurd and really just nuts.
“I knew that I was going to have to try and find a way to do something I have never done before.
“Every single day I was like, ‘Come on, you can do it’. It was such a wild ride.”
