Minnie Driver posts beach bikini photos from sizzling solo trip to Rome
The 55-year-old "Good Will Hunting" actress posted a series of photos on Instagram Sunday from her solo vacation to Rome. In one of the photos, Driver lay on a lounge chair in a black bikini with high-waisted bottoms, which she paired with black sunglasses.
In the next photo, Driver smiled into the camera as she took a selfie on the beach, this time adding an Armani sunhat to the mix to protect her skin.
"Slightly ambivalent about being alone for this long , but the lady next to me took the very nice overhead shot showing off my @leftonfriday swimsuit and I swam for 1.5 miles until a lifeguard in a pedalo (❗️🫶🏼) arrived to ask me if I was ok," she wrote in the caption.
"Something seemed to make sense to him when I told him I was British. I love my work and I miss my family, I suppose these things must just live side by side . #sunday #roma #seaside #isleybrothers."
Many fans flooded the comments section with compliments for the actress, while others were impressed by her dedication to her work and fitness.
"That swimsuit looks amazing on you, what a beautiful shot! Your dedication to swimming is inspiring, keep up the great work! It's tough being away from loved ones, but your work is impressive," one fan wrote in the comments section.
A second fan wrote, "Another gorgeous swim suit 😍 you look amazing 🤩," while a third added, "Was just thinking of buying one of those swimsuits and now I absolutely will because you look so damn good!!! Hope you're well ❤️."
This isn't the first time Driver has posted a swimsuit photo on social media. In August 2024, the actress shared a photo of herself in a black one-piece, posing in front of a green screen to make it seem as if she was at the beach, writing in the caption that the scenario had her questioning her sanity.
Earlier that year, the actress opened up to The Sunday Times about the mistakes she made in her life, particularly with relationships.
"If I look at my history, what it did was make me want to be married so much and then choose men who were so not the right men to be married to," Driver told The Sunday Times. "So, I would carry on longing to be married and to have that conservative version [of a relationship], find men who had no interest in that, and then if one did, run a mile.
"The one time I was engaged it would have been, I think, the biggest mistake of my life." Driver was engaged to actor Josh Brolin from April 2001 to October of that year.
Driver has never been married but has been in a relationship with writer and director Addison O'Dea since 2019, telling People in July 2024, "I could see what an amazing person he was from the minute I met him."

Terence Stamp, English actor known for ‘Superman' and ‘The Limey,' dies at 87
Terence Stamp, who famously played the arch-villain General Zod in the first two 'Superman' films, died Sunday at the age of 87. His death was confirmed by a representative, after his family released a statement. Stamp, was an acclaimed English leading man turned character actor, whose intense, sky-blue gaze sizzled on the silver screen for decades. His performance in the 1962 film 'Billy Budd,' based on the Herman Melville novel 'Moby Dick,' earned him an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for 'Best Newcomer.' Just 24 when the film was released, Stamp managed to stand out in a year that saw an uncanny number of cinema classics released, including 'Lawrence of Arabia,' 'The Manchurian Candidate' and 'Cape Fear.' The son of a tugboat stoker, Stamp emerged as one of the defining stars of British cinema throughout the 1960s, known as much for his offscreen romances with actress Julie Christie and Englishsupermodel Jean Shrimpton as he was for his brilliant, leading roles. But for international audiences, the ultimate Stamp villain was the ultra-ambitious alien General Zod in 'Superman' (1978). Stamp said he accepted the part because he wanted to work opposite Marlon Brando. Before then, he had stepped away from acting to become a swami in India. 'When the 1960s ended, I just ended with it,' Stamp told the Guardian in 2015 about his pre- 'Superman' acting drought. 'I remember my agent telling me: 'They're all looking for a young Terence Stamp.'' The first Superman film was something of a rebirth for the actor, who had become used to being a leading man. 'I just decided I was a character actor now and I can do anything,' he said. Stamp would reprise his turn as General Zod in 1980, for 'Superman II.' For the next 40 years, Stamp and his 'unsettlingly intense stare' appeared on film. In 1994′s 'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert,' he played a middle-aged transgender woman named Bernadette. The movie drew mixed reviews at the time, but Stamp was widely considered the film's 'chief asset.' Stamp also starred in Steven Soderbergh's 'The Limey' alongside Peter Fonda. 'Terence Stamp builds up such a head of angry steam … it's a wonder the theater ceiling doesn't blister,' a Washington Post review declared in 1999. More recently, Stamp appeared in the 2021 Edgar Wright-directed horror thriller 'Last Night in Soho' — fittingly, an homage to 1960s London.

The Cast And Creators Of ‘The Buccaneers' Talk Season 2: ‘It Feels So Nice To Come Back To It'
The second season of The Buccaneers ended with many plot twists the audience probably didn't see coming, and one of them is the death of Josh Dylan's character, Richard, killed by his own brother, James, played by Barney Fishwick. James spent months searching for his wife, Jinny St-George, portrayed by Imogen Waterhouse. Jinny and Guy both fled to Italy, away from her violent husband in order to keep herself and her baby safe. Guy, who has been taking care of her newborn baby, finds out that James has been in contact with Jinny, and he urges her to leave immediately. Jinny, still under James' influence, thought that her husband had changed. It really took Guy to help her realize that James would always represent a danger for her and her baby. Waterhouse said, ''That scene, she was coerced back into this idea that he's changed, and that he's really a good father and good with the baby. It took Guy to snap out of it, like out of hypnosis.'' Fishwick added: ''It is horrible to see. In those coercive relationships, what you're seeing is what the coercer is doing, by chaining them into a landscape, encouraging them to see that it's impossible for them to exit without him, impossible for Virginia to exist without him. So, even though she has escaped away from him, mentally there's still that part of that brain, because it's been coerced, and he has gaslighted her, that create this dependency. You separate them from the people in their lives, their whole happiness, their whole ability to survive is dependent on one person.'' On Richard's death, Fishwick added: ''It shows the extant to which he's wiling to go to cease any kind of control and power, to insert himself.'' Matthew Broome, who portrays Guy, has been supporting Jinny while she was struggling to adapt tp her new life, especially when it comes to motherhood. Broome said, ''He ultimately finds that this is the life he wants for himself. Obvioulsy, he wants to be with Nan, but I also think he has so much more fun this season. He gets to let loose and have fun, ultimately this is what he wants, he wants to have a family and have a good time.'' In between the many cliffhangers and shocking revelations, The Buccaneers is also a show about friendship and sisterhood. If some of the girls, from their positions in society, or just by strength of character, have the abilty to change each other's lives, I asked the cast in what way this show has changed their own lives. Waterhouse said, ''We're so lucky that everyone gets along really well, and it just feels very easy and fun. We've all made friends we'll take with us forever.'' Broome added: ''This job is my first job, and a formative part of my life. You've all been a part of that, that will always be a thing, forever, in all the other jobs I do. This is where it all began. And it feels so nice to come back to it.'' Another character that finally gets to speak up and stand up for herself is Honoria, played by Mia Threapleton. In one final and decisive scene, she reveals to her mother that she is in love with Mabel, portrayed by Josie Totah. She also anounces that she is going to go to Paris to teach. Knowing that this was Threapleteon's last day on set, it gives even more intensity to this powerful momentum. I asked the creator of the show, Katherine Jakeways, and the executive producers, Beth Willis and Joe Innis, what it meant for them to be able to give the flowers to a character who has been so unhappy and disrespected by her own family. Jakeways said, ''That's such a lovely thing to say, I'm so happy you said that. We love Honoria, and actually it's so interesting because if you go back to where she starts, the first episode of season one, she hardly speaks at all, she's got 2 or 3 lines in that episode. She's expected to sit quietly as all English girls were. She's observing it, and her eyes are watching all these Americans who've come in, and they've got this agency and energy.'' She added: ''Mia is so brilliant, I also think Fenella [Woolgar] who plays Lady Brightlingsea is brilliant in that scene, actually. And just the relationship that they have, even when they're grieving. And Lady Brightlingsea is just taking Honoria for granted. But Honoria have this strength from all the things that happened to her, and what she witnessed and admired in the girls.'' Willis added: ''I like to believe there's a slight twinkle in Lady Brightlingsea's eyes as Honoria walks away after she's kissed her, like 'Actually you've shocked me and there's a tiny bit of me that's impressed.' This season, some of the sets and costumes felt more modern than the first one, so I asked Willis how they made the decision to add these modern elements and sets into the story. She said, ''We always try to keep one foot in the period, while obviously we gave the locations and the sets a glow up this series. But I remember with the Midsommar's night party, we looked into the fact that there was a form of glitter and confetti that existed then, although we weren't obviously using that product on their faces or to throw in the air. We were always looking for this period thread that we could pull, to keep a grip on it being a period show, whilst also having the freedom to play. Also we wanted to make it feel more magical, because you want to have an experience every time you're watching those sets and set pieces, those parties.''
