Instructed by a casting director to fake an orgasm — “unless [she fancied] having a real one” — Minnie Driver’s grim audition experience is somehow not at all surprising.

star takes us back to set of an audition she went on back in 1995, when she was in her mid-20s., Driver recalls entering an audition room “filled with almost two rows of chairs in a wide semicircle, every seat taken by a man in a suit, mostly with their jackets over the back of the chair and their ties loosened.”

“You know the scene where she fakes an orgasm? … OK. Eat a piece of chocolate and do that.” When Driver sought to clarify whether he wasasking her to fake an orgasm in a room filled with 17 ad executives, the director responded with a chuckle. “Yes. Unless you fancy having a real one!” “But of course I didn’t, because the fire was lit and it required fuel, and any fuel, however troubling, will burn just the same.”bigger

Explaining that she couldn’t do it again for fear of getting sick, Driver writes that while the men thought she was referring to the chocolate, she was in fact alluding to her “shame at having gone along with the whole grotesquery. And the f***ing chocolate.”
