Minnie Driver says returning to Ireland to film Modern Love was like coming home

The Modern Love star has said that her two weeks’ solo quarantine before filming started was filled with running through the fields and driving in the Wicklow mountains, which she described as “one of the happiest times”

Minnie Driver: "I love Ireland, I think it must be that there’s something there for me."

Minnie Driver has said returning to Ireland to film her latest project gave her a “sense of coming home”.

The actress, 51, won critical praise for her role as Bernadette (Benny) Hogan in the 1995 film Circle Of Friends, which was based on the novel of the same name by acclaimed Irish author Maeve Binchy.
