'I don't need to protect him anymore': Minnie Driver FINALLY reveals the identity of son Henry's father 
 
 
 
 She has always been incredibly secretive about the identity of her son's father. 
 
 But now Minnie Driver has come forward to reveal that three-year-old Henry's dad was a writer on her former television show The Riches. 
 
 The 42-year-old actress said the reason she had decided to disclose the man's identity was because she doesn't 'need to protect him any more'. 
 
 'I don't need to protect him anymore': Minnie Driver has revealed her son Henry's father was a writer on her TV show The Riches 
 
 
 
 She added to The Observer magazine: 'He can fend for himself. He's a grown-up. 
 
 'We weren't together and he wasn't directly in the business so I chose to protect him and not have a rain of publicity. 
 
 'He's not famous. There's no big story.' 
 
 It had been reported before that the father was a TV writer, who ended his relationship with Driver when she found out she was pregnant. 
 
 However, Driver admitted that the man, who she still refused to name outright, has now increased his involvement in their son's life. 
 
 Fashionista: Minnie was seen at the Temperley show over the weekend at London Fashion Week 
 
 
 
 She said: 'Is he a good dad? Sort of. He's figuring it out... I mean, he hasn't been that involved, his choice. But he is now.' 
 
 The Conviction star had previously admitted she would like to have more children, but doesn't think she could cope raising two kids on her own. 
 
 She said previously: 'Henry's dad and I probably wouldn't have any more together, but I would love to have more.' 
 
 
 
 However, she admitted to The Observer: 'I couldn't do another one without a partner; I couldn't do two as a single mum, I really couldn't. It would be too much.' 
 
 
 
 Speaking about how she coped during her pregnancy, the actress, who was one of two children born out of an affair - millionaire father Ron Driver, already had a wife and daughter who knew nothing of his other family - said: 'I had good friends around me, so it was sort of hilarious. 
 
 Screen star: Minnie had met the mystery man while appearing on series The Riches, alongside Eddie Izzard 
 
 
 
 'I was making a film at the time and the paparazzi would shout: 'Who's the sperm donor?' at me. Oh, it was an awful film [Motherhood] and I wouldn't do that again, but I was heavily pregnant and I just wanted to take my mind off it.' 
 
 Minnie admitted that motherhood has left it's mark on her, and while she is admittedly involved in a 'very selfish business' - she said: 'I've started to enjoy my job more because I take it less seriously.' 
 
 Now that her son has got older, the curly-haired actress has renewed her career ambitions. Her latest film, Hunky Dory, a small British indie from Jon Finn, the producer of Billy Elliot, is a high-school musical set in Wales during the heatwave of 1976. 
 
 And she has set her sights on a return to the small screen - again for less than selfish reasons. 
 
 
 
 'I still want an Oscar, and to work with Danny Boyle and Martin Scorsese – of course I want all of that. ||||| Now this is what I call a summer movie. Baby Driver has it all: thrills, laughs, sex, nonstop action, a killer soundtrack, a star-making performance from Ansel Elgort and a director – Edgar Wright – who can knock the wind out of you. When was the last time to got pumped by a car chase? This revved-up ride of a movie is loaded with them, and they're spectacular. 
 
 
 
 OK, let's back up and get our bearings. Elgort, the teen dream of The Fault in Our Stars, plays Baby, an Atlanta getaway driver with chronic tinnitus. That constant ringing and buzzing in his ears is why he's never without his earbuds; the music in his head drowns out the buzz and replaces it with nonstop beats. The first getaway, set to "Bellbottoms" by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, is choreographed by Wright (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) with a precision to match anything in La La Land. 
 
 Here's the deal with Baby: To care for Pops (CJ Jones), the deaf gent who raised him after his mother died, he's been driving for crime boss Doc (a wickedly sly Kevin Spacey). The kid never robs a bank himself (no stomach for it); he also wants out, but there's one more job ... there always is. Doc sets up a crew that redefines the term "natural born psychos": Folks with criminal handles like Bats (Jamie Foxx) and Griff (Jon Bernthal), along with Buddy (Jon Hamm) and his main squeeze Darling (Eiza Gonzalez). Everyone in the supporting cast goes for broke here – but we'll single out Hamm, who adds glaze and a slice of pineapple in a performance of bracing, nutty perversity. 
 
 Baby Driver slows down a bit when our hero falls hard for a diner waitress named Debora (Cinderella's Lily James). But the sweetness of their romance makes a pleasing contrast to the violence that escalates in the film's final third. Debora, who enters the movie singing "Baby" by Carla Thomas, is miffed that so few songs give her a name check. "You have us all beat," she tells Baby. "Every song is about you." James is enormously appealing as this dreamer who shares her beau's wish "to head west on the 20, in a car we can't afford, with a plan we don't have." Since Baby is a man of few words, Elgort uses his expressive eyes as a window into Baby's heart. It's a challenging beast of a role and Elgort just crushes it. 
 
 
 
 Still, this is Wright's show. Best known for his Cornetto Trilogy (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World's End), the ever-dazzling Wright tops himself with this start-to-finish sensation. It's not computers that generate the fireworks – the stunts are mostly done in camera (kudos to cinematographer Bill Pope), which gives the action a you-are-there urgency that the digiverse can't match. Expanding on an idea from his own 2003 music video for Mint Royale's "Blue Song," Wright spent years perfecting how he wanted Baby Driver to look and sound on screen. 
 
 
 
 The British director's attention to detail pays off handsomely. Glib comparisons to 2011's Drive with Ryan Gosling don't hold up, mainly because that expressionist film noir is not what Wright is aiming for. Think Walter Hill's 1978's The Driver (in tribute, Hill has a voice cameo), along with what Wright calls the Holy Trinity of 1990's pulp fiction: Point Break, Reservoir Dogs and Heat. As Baby Driver progresses, with Queen, Young MC, Martha Reeves and the Vandellasand Simon & Garfunkel reverberating in Baby's ears and on the soundtrack, this one-of-a-kind filmmaker leaves his indelible stamp on every frame. Wright is a true man of action, a cinematic grandmaster. Buckle up.
– Minnie Driver announced her pregnancy in 2008, and has managed to go all the time since without revealing the baby's father. But now that son Henry is three, "I don't need to protect (the father) anymore," Driver tells the Guardian. "He can fend for himself. He's a grown-up." So who is he? He was a writer on her short-lived TV series, The Riches, she says, and though she doesn't name names, the Mail briefly speculated she's referring to Tim Lea before changing its headline. (Driver and Lea dated in 2009, ninemsn notes.) As for whether Henry's father is a good dad, Driver will only say, "Sort of. He's figuring it out. … I mean, he hasn't been that involved; his choice. But he is now." Click to see what Driver craved during her pregnancy.
