Minnie Driver was once mistaken for Mariah Carey by Stevie Wonder’s partner – Music News

Minnie Driver has recalled how she was once mistaken for Mariah Carey by Stevie Wonder’s companion.

In the course of an interview for BBC’s Pals Will Be Buddies with Cat & Edith, the actress shared a story about the time when she was walking via The Grove shopping centre in Los Angeles when she noticed the iconic musician.

“I’d just come from a photoshoot where by they’d finished a especially significant hair on me, I was heading alongside and I instantly passed Stevie Marvel and his girlfriend and his protection guard,” she recounted. “My coronary heart stopped due to the fact I might walked by him, and I never at any time do this, but I went again and I started off gushing. I couldn’t get the words and phrases out (but I was indicating), ‘No one’s ever meant so considerably to me.’ And I was just gushing at Stevie Wonder.”

Even so, Minnie was left pink-confronted when Stevie’s companion launched her as Mariah.

“He was smiling and he was so sweet, and the security was smiling – incredibly sweet – and then I finished chatting and his girlfriend went, ‘Stevie, it really is Mariah Carey.’ And I went, ‘What? No, I am not, gosh no.’ I was horrified. I was so embarrassed and I did not know what I was supposed to say. So, I was just like, ‘I like you, goodbye!’ and I scurried off,” the 52-year-aged sighed.

Minnie didn’t title Stevie’s husband or wife, but he has been married to Tomeeka Bracy due to the fact 2017.
