Minnie Driver recently sat down with Ellen Degeneres to chat a little bit about her pregnancy, choosing names and of course, the biggie question…who’s the father?
On having a silly last name:
“My friend sent me an email saying I should call the baby Duncan Driver. Then I can call it Dunk Driver, Pile Driver, Rally Driver. I think I’m just going to call the baby something like John Driver.”
On the sex of the baby:
“I don’t want to know if it’s a boy or a girl. I feel like it’s one of the last great mysteries of life.”
“I’m hoping for a girl though. I think it’s a girl.
On pregnancy weight:
“Most of the women in my family get super girthy early on and I’ve got to say that’s why I have this nice chiffon dress on. I’m fat.”
On the baby daddy:
“I’m the public person and he can stay private.”
Darn. That doesn’t really clear a whole lot up! I was hoping she’d say who the dad was and it would be some big Hollywood name, but it sounds like he’s a regular Joe.









I thought she was engaged to Josh Brolin. Did that end?
She broke up with Josh back in 2001 I think, and then dated someone I know very closely directly afterwards.
Can you say SPERM BANK?
Duncan Driver??!?!?!?? PIMP!! Too Funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is so adorable! I love her in The Riches.
Still, pregnancy is no excuse for that dress and those shoes.
