Actresses Who Still Don’t Know How to Drive

by

It’s common to see fast cars and chases in movies, but surprisingly, several famous actresses don’t drive in real life. Whether it’s because they grew up in cities where driving wasn’t necessary, or they feel anxious behind the wheel, these stars have built thriving careers without ever getting a driver’s license. Some have even acted in big action films with cars, letting professional stunt drivers handle the driving scenes. They’re often open about their lack of driving experience in interviews and public appearances.

Cardi B

Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, is an actress who has been in movies like ‘Hustlers’ and ‘F9: The Fast Saga’. Surprisingly, despite owning many expensive cars, she doesn’t have a driver’s license. She’s talked about this in interviews and on social media, explaining she mostly buys cars for photoshoots and because she likes how they look. Her inability to drive has become a running joke with her fans and in the media.

Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale, known for her action movies like ‘Underworld,’ has revealed she’s never gotten her driver’s license. She typically gets around Los Angeles and London using taxis, ride-sharing apps, or by hiring drivers. She’s even playfully mentioned that her daughter, Lily Sheen, has learned to drive while she hasn’t! Despite playing characters in fast-paced, high-energy roles, Kate prefers to relax and let someone else do the driving.

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson, the Academy Award-winning star of ‘Dreamgirls’ and ‘Respect’, doesn’t have a driver’s license. She’s often talked about how much she dislikes driving and prefers to be driven around. Despite her busy career in music and film, she gets by without driving herself, and it hasn’t slowed her down at all.

Christina Ricci

Christina Ricci, best known for her role in ‘The Addams Family’ and currently starring in ‘Yellowjackets’, doesn’t have a driver’s license. She’s explained that she experiences anxiety while driving, which has kept her from getting one. Because she mostly lives in cities with good public transportation and readily available ride services, she doesn’t need a car and manages her work commitments without driving herself.

Edie Falco

Edie Falco, known for her roles in ‘The Sopranos’ and ‘Nurse Jackie,’ has lived in New York City for many years and has never learned to drive. Growing up with easy access to public transportation influenced her decision. She gets around using the city’s subway and taxis, finding it a convenient and sensible way to live in a big city.

Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham, the creator and star of the show ‘Girls,’ has openly talked about not being able to drive. She explains this is due to difficulties with spatial awareness and feeling anxious behind the wheel. Dunham often uses this as something people can connect with in her public image and writing. She still depends on others – friends, family, or hired services – for transportation.

Tessa Thompson

Tessa Thompson, known for playing Valkyrie in the ‘Thor’ movies, recently revealed she didn’t get her driver’s license until quite late in life. It’s ironic, she says, to portray characters who drive and operate vehicles in the Marvel films when she couldn’t even drive a regular car herself. Despite this, her acting career is still very successful, and she’s perfectly happy letting others do the driving.
