Matt Damon is one of the most talented and versatile actors working today. He built substantial filmography over the years and showcased his outstanding cinematic talents. His several blockbuster ventures, in which he either produced or served as the lead, have received a lot of praise from critics and fans throughout the world.
The Bourne franchise, the espionage films are probably his most well-known and fan-favorite performance in the industry. Matt Damon’s ex-girlfriend, Minnie Driver once claimed that the industry is a very dangerous place and she does not want to be on the rough side of any of her colleagues or other celebrities.
Minnie Driver Claims That Hollywood Is a Scary Place
Minnie Driver is a British-American actress who has been in the industry for over three decades and started with small and supporting roles, mainly singing. After her debut in 1991, she quickly rose to prominence with her outstanding performance in Circle of Friends. From then on, Driver went on to perform multiple successful movie and franchise roles and also have multiple blockbusters under her belt. With numerous awards to her name, the actress has quite a reputation in the industry.
During an interview with The Cut, the actress, Minnie Driver revealed some crucial inside stories surrounding her cast in the Academy Award-winning movie, Good Will Hunting.
“I really can’t [name names] because then I’ll never work again, and I have to work because I have a mortgage. The unnamed producer did not think I was hot enough to be in that film and did not want me in the film.
Damon and Ben Affleck as well as director Gus Van Sant fought very hard for me to be in the movie and I am grateful to them until this day”
She revealed that one big-shot producer did not want her to be cast in the movie and only after she received support from the director and the star cast of the movie, she was allowed to play in it. Driver was almost rejected from the movie because she was not good enough, but that did not slow her down as she delivered a stunning performance in the movie.
Matt Damon and Minnie Driver’s Shocking Breakup
On The Oprah Winfrey Show, Matt Damon revealed that the couple would be breaking up in a short while. Damon added that although they are very good friends, their romantic and affectionate side for each other has long ended and he did not want to continue with this relationship.
The Martian actor claimed that even though he cared for her the most, their relationship was never meant to be, and it would be best for both of them to go their separate ways. However, after seeing his confession on television, Minnie Driver said that the public learned about their separation before her and that Damon hadn’t spoken with her about it before announcing the big screen.
On the other hand, Matt Damon contends that his ex-girlfriend was aware of their breakup before he announced it on television. However, it is still unknown who knew what and who didn’t, according to rumors. The two went on to date other celebrities, with Damon getting married to Luciano Barrosso, currently with three children, and Driver most recently beginning a relationship with filmmaker Addison O’Dea.
