Minnie Driver, 55, Stuns in Tiny Black Bikini as She Laments ‘Being Alone for This Long’ originally appeared on Parade.
Actress Minnie Driver, 55, is spending the summer in Italy while filming Season 5 of Netflix’s hit comedy Emily in Paris. And if spending the summer in Italy sounds like a dream, the Good Will Hunting actress is well aware of her good fortune. But being there without her partner Addison O’Dea and her 16-year-old son, Henry Driver, is putting a bit of a wrench in her Italian summer.

Driver is making limoncello out of lemons, as shown in a recent social media post where the 55-year-old stunner rocked a teeny black bikini while lamenting spending the summer alone.
In the post, Driver shares a series of photos from a solo beach day, including a supermodel-worthy overhead swimsuit shot (snapped by a kind woman sitting nearby, according to Driver). She also recounts a charming story about a lifeguard attempting to rescue her during a lengthy ocean swim—mistaking her peaceful solo swim for someone in distress.
“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. 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.”

Driver’s friends and fans were equally impressed by her flawless figure (seriously giving 55 a good name, Minnie!) and her long ocean swim, while also empathizing with the mixed emotions of being in such a beautiful place without loved ones to share it with.
