Minnie Driver, the British actress famed for her roles in movies like “Good Will Hunting,” “Grosse Point Blank,” and “Circle of Friends,” stands at an impressive height of 5 feet 9¾ inches (177.2 cm).
While her height has undoubtedly made her a distinctive presence on screen, it has not always worked in her favor. In a 1995 interview with the Worcester Telegram, she lamented her height challenges, mentioning, “I’ve lost three big jobs because I’m tall. It’s heightism. It’s so unfair.”

Minnie has faced adversity in her career due to her stature, stating in another instance that actors often hesitated to work with her due to the height difference. She humorously remarked on Twitter, “#growingupwithmyname yeah, I KNOW it’s SO weird that I’m 5’10, and yes they always dig me a ditch because no actor will stand on a box.”
Despite the challenges, Minnie has embraced her height, learning to “throw your shoulders back and charge right in.”
