Matt and Minnie were a dream couple
Hollywood's darling Minnie Driver recently graced 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' with her presence, and oh boy, did she have some tea to spill! Reflecting on her heartache at 25, after her split from hunky Matt Damon, Minnie had some sage advice for her younger self.
"Honey, it's cool," she said, "life's gonna be great and beautiful and hard and amazing."
The romance that set the '90s ablaze! Driver and Damon met on the set of the iconic film "Good Will Hunting" back in '97. They were the talk of the town, but alas, cupid's arrow turned brittle after a year.
Cue the violins, folks! A throwback clip of Damon and Ben Affleck snagging the best original screenplay Oscar for "Good Will Hunting" showed Driver looking less than thrilled.
Why the long face, Minnie? Well, turns out Damon had called it quits just weeks prior and brought his new gal to the Oscars. Ouch!
