Knocked Up Celebs

Minnie Driver and son, Henry, were spotted hanging out at Cross Creek Park yesterday in Malibu, California. Henry had a chance to go on the swings and even play in the sand.

Minnie driver is starring in the movie, Motherhood, where she plays a pregnant woman. She didn’t have to go far to research her role since she was infact pregnant at the time with her son. Parade magazine recently caught up with her and asked her about her role as a mother now that Henry was born. Here are the highlights:

On getting ready to be a mom: “I’ve been around kids my whole life. 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. Having a little baby is very different than dealing with your kids when they’re older. You’re not juggling school schedules and stuff. I’m sure that all will come, but the first year of Henry’s life has been just an insane earthquake for me.”

On nothing being greater than being a mom: “I waited a long time to have children because I had this career that was kind of like my kid, it required as much nurturing and as much attention. Now, I’ve discovered there’s no amount of hassle that could ever be bigger than my love of Henry and the hilarity and joy that he’s brought into my life and continues to bring.”

On her internet support: “I use the site called ‘Mamapedia’ that’s amazing, where you can ask questions and mothers across America can answer, so you can get maybe ten answers and it’s kind of a cool resource. But sitting down and reading about somebody else’s tough experiences of being a mother, you’re suddenly like, ‘My God, I’ve got a kid and I don’t have time to read about this. I’ve got to go do it.”

On their Halloween costumes: “This Halloween, he’s going to be the Crocodile Hunter and I’m the crocodile. My crocodile head just arrived in the mail. I got Henry a little blond wig because he doesn’t have much hair and he’s going to be Steve Irwin, may he rest in peace.”

On her uncertain future: “I always took the best thing that came along. I’ve never had the luxury of being really choosy. I’ve never planned out years in advance the films that I’m going to be making, and nobody was ever structuring the financing of a movie around me. But, good stuff always comes, although it’s a little frustrating not knowing what I’m going to be doing next.”
