Patriotic Pregnancy: Minnie Driver's Independence Day Throwback!
EXCLUSIVE: Minnie Driver's Sizzling 4th of July Celebration - And a Hint at Her New Face!
It's the ultimate celebration of independence - and Minnie Driver is doing it in style! The 55-year-old British-American actress marked America's birthday with a series of sizzling throwback snaps that left fans gagging for more.
But before we dive into her star-studded 4th of July bash, let's talk about the elephant in the room: Minnie's recent facelift jokes. In December, she posted a hilarious video on Instagram, deadpanning, "Guys, are we all getting new faces for Christmas?" The caption read, "Quite hard to put under the tree. #newface #faceshop #discountcodes."
We're guessing this cheeky comment was her way of addressing the rumors swirling around Hollywood about midlife crises and facelifts. But Minnie's not one to shy away from the truth - or a good laugh! She even shared a makeup-free selfie on Instagram, revealing the secret to her radiant complexion: Israeli aesthetician Keren Bartov.
Minnie gushed, "Ok, I'm pretty vain, so posting pictures without a scrap of makeup and un-touched up, are rare." And with good reason - her glowing skin is seriously enviable! But what caught our attention was her tongue-in-cheek remark about needing 'Christmas glow' without the aid of mulled wines (five, to be exact).
Now, back to those scorching 4th of July snaps. Minnie kicked off her Independence Day celebrations with a hilarious photo of herself pregnant and sporting a stars-and-stripes belly paint job! Talk about patriotism!
Next up? A sweet cake in the shape of a burger - because, why not?! She even took it to the next level by decorating her golf buggy in red, white, and blue. But what stole the show was her adorable son Henry's participation in a watermelon seed spitting competition (yes, you read that right!) He won first prize, and Minnie couldn't be prouder.
But what really got our hearts racing was her caption: "Celebrating the spirit of independence - from pregnant belly decorations, to our annual golf cart parade in Malibu, to the cake I made in the shape of a burger, to Henry winning the watermelon seed spittin' competition. To me standing eating watermelon rather than spitting the seeds, to my old, patriotic boy who loved this day, mainly because people were drunk and dropped their hotdogs."
Sassy, sassy, sassy! We're loving Minnie's unapologetic attitude - especially since she recently opened up about being a woman in middle age in Hollywood. In an interview with People earlier this year, she shared her thoughts on the industry's changing climate for women over 40.
"Ah, we're allowed to be over 40 now," she said with a smile. "It is different." But Minnie knows that there's still work to be done - particularly when it comes to empowering older women on screen.
"We're getting there," she confessed. "I watched a film the other night that I really wanted to be in and I am so glad I'm not in that bloody film." Ouch, burn!
As we wrap up this exclusive scoop, we can't help but wonder what's next for Minnie Driver - both on and off screen. One thing's for sure: this fiery lady will keep us entertained for years to come!
