After 27 years in Los Angeles, Minnie Driver now resides in London but questions a return to the U.S. if Donald Trump were re-elected, particularly in a red state. In an interview with British publication The Times, the "Good Will Hunting" star discussed the insulated bubble of California and the dilemma of running from or confronting political fires. Criticizing Trump in the context of his legal troubles and his supporters, Driver highlighted the widespread issues beyond just the president, emphasizing the need to address underlying attitudes and policies. Comparing the political climates of the U.S. and U.K., Driver finds hope and humor in the British discourse while raising concerns about the divisive and violent nature of American politics. Ultimately, she refuses to shy away from the challenges, calling for engagement and dialogue rather than avoidance.
