Minnie Driver is opening up about the conditions on set while recording 1998’s Tough Rain
Motorist, 54, declared she wasn’t enabled to use a wetsuit under her outfit, regardless of there being “20 million gallons of water.”

The motion picture shot for 7 months and was focused around a prepared break-in to rob banks throughout a significant rainstorm in India, starring stars like Morgan Freeman, Christian Slater and Randy Quaid.
