Minnie Driver Reveals How She Kept From “Fainting” In Queen Elizabeth I’s Gowns On ‘Serpent Queen’


For Minnie Driver, getting into character as Queen Elizabeth I hardly felt like the royal treatment on season 2 of 'The Boys'.

The Serpent Queen actress revealed that she had to tape ice packs to her thighs under her gowns while filming season 2 of the Starz period drama in France’s Loire Valley during a heatwave. Serpent Queen tells the story of Catherine de Medici ( Samantha Morton) and how she became one of the most powerful and longest-serving rules in French history. In March, Driver was cast as the infamous “Virgin Queen” who goes toe-to-toe with Catherine in the upcoming season, premiering July 12 on Starz.
