Minnie Driver mocks fellow stars for getting ‘new faces for Christmas’
Minnie Driver gleefully joked about the raging mania for plastic surgery, while showbiz figures galore alter their facial features.
“Guys,” she deadpanned perfectly in a new video posted to her Instagram page, “are we getting all new faces for Christmas?”
The Good Will Hunting actress continued, “Because where do you get them? And do you think they’ll run out? And does anyone have a discount code?’
She threw in another joke in the caption, writing, “Very hard to put under the tree. #newface #faceshop #discountcodes.”
Her latest cheeky post comes less than three weeks after the 54-year-old actress shared a makeup-free selfie on her Instagram page.
She let the camera get a closer look at her features and used the caption to share the secret to her own glowing complexion.

Her radiant appearance was the work of Keren Bartov, an Israeli beautician whose clients have included Gal Gadot, Demi Moore, Kim Kardashian and Julia Roberts.
“Okay, I’m pretty vain so posting photos without a scrap of makeup and untouched is rare,” Minnie wrote alongside the selfie.
‘The only reason I’m doing it now is because I’ve had the flu and been feeling all my years lately, and I’m quite amazed that my friend Keren can make me look like this: Christmas glow without the 5 mulled wine.’
Earlier this year, Minnie reflected on how the climate in Hollywood has changed in terms of providing opportunities for middle-aged women.
‘We may be over forty now. It’s different,” she said People during a panel discussion held last summer.
“I don’t know what was done when I woke up to the idea that women are actually just trying their best when, I think, they’ve been through the gauntlet of only being seen sexually,” the The Phantom Of The Opera told -actress.
Now, she said, roles for women can embrace the “extraordinary expanse that comes with growing older,” including but not limited to motherhood.
“I recently saw a movie that I really wanted to be in and I’m so glad I’m not in that damn movie,” Minnie candidly admitted.

“Because I’ve been conditioned to think that, because that was the best money could buy at the time and everyone was vying for the same role.”
Her own upcoming projects include The Household Guide To Dying, an adaptation of a novel by Australian author Debra Adelaide about an advice columnist who discovers she is terminally ill and tries to prepare her family for life without her.
She is also part of the cast of the upcoming drama Angels In The Asylum, inspired by a BBC report about 50 women with typhoid who were confined in isolation in a psychiatric hospital in Surrey from 1907.
The film features a cast including Simon Pegg, Miriam Margolyes and Katherine Waterston, the daughter of Law & Order icon Sam Waterston.
