"I definitely went a bit bonkers in my early 20s, when I got famous quite quickly,” she explains to Britain’s Stylist magazine about her instant rise to stardom after 1997’s Good Will Hunting. “Bonkers in a way where I didn't eat enough, I drank too much coffee, smoked too many cigarettes, cried a lot and was very emotional."
Thankfully for Minnie, her sister, model and producer Kate Driver, came to her rescue.
