Minnie Driver goes too far for acting role?

By 24 HOURS NEWS SERVICES

Minnie Driver really delved into her role as a pregnant mom in Motherhood. Driver was expecting a baby when she signed for the comedy starring Uma Thurman.

Parade.com says that Driver had some moments when she thought she'd gone a little too far for her role.

"They needed an actress to play pregnant, but I offered them the real thing. I was so pregnant in this film that I was in a kind of different world. You shouldn't really be on a film set when you're that pregnant, you need to be at home with your feet up. I wouldn't do it again. They took care of me. They were lovely and very sweet, but you should be getting ready for your baby to come and taking it easy, you shouldn't be out making movies."

Driver says she fell easily into the role, in real life, of becoming a mom.

"I've been around kids my whole life," she says. "My sister has three children and it's like I knew what it was like. But, honestly, my mind was just on the impending birth and the immediate future."
