AceShowbiz - Minnie Driver recalled embarrassment when she faked an orgasm to get a job. Asked about the most "embarrassing moment" of her career so far, the 53-year-old actress revealed that in the early days, she was trying out for a chocolate bar advert and was horrified to have been asked to act as if she was orgasming in front of a load of male TV executives.
"When I was starting out, in the early 90s, I had to fake an orgasm in a room full of male ad execs at an audition for a chocolate bar ad. It was grim!" she said.
Meanwhile, the "Circle of Friends" star - who has been in a relationship with filmmaker Addison O'Dea, 42, since 2019 but previously dated the likes of Ryan Kavanaugh, Matthew Felkner and has 14-year-old son Henry with Timothy J. Lea - went on to add she would erase all the "awful men" from her past and say she has not matured as a person in the way she had initially hoped before admitting that she still has a crush on old schoolfriend and fellow Hollywood star Daniel Day-Lewis.
She told The Guardian, "I thought that I would become more mature about certain things, and it didn't happen. I've said ['I love you'] knowing I didn't mean it how the other person meant it. If I could, I'd edit out all the awful men I managed to find who confirmed my worst suspicions about my body and my character."
"[But my celebrity crush is] Daniel Day-Lewis. I have loved him since I was 12 years old. I watched him play in a football match at my school - and then walked him back to the changing rooms after, and he was so kind and he talked to me about acting."
