Drew Barrymore is looking ahead.

The 46-year-old E.T. actress and daytime talk show host called in to SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live on Wednesday (March 10).

During the chat, she got very candid about the possibility of returning to acting.

“If I’m being honest, the answer is no, I don’t want to be on a film set right now, but that could change when my kids are older,” she said.

“I stopped doing these when my kids were born, because I’ve done it since I was in diapers at 11 months old is when I started. And it was a no brainer to me to put making movies on a back burner so that I could be present and raise my kids myself. I didn’t want to be on a film set asking the nanny how the kids were. I was like, that is not my journey,” she continued.

“And so when you step away from it, it’s a lot less scary. And you know, I’ve started brands. I was able to write a book. I got to do at the perfect time, this like Netflix show called Santa Clarita Diet. That was, I have to say I was so knee deep into mothering my kids. I was like, I don’t know who I am anymore. I think I went way too far the opposite direction,” she went on to eoxplained.

“And if I can’t remember that I’m an individual with a skill set, I might die. So then I got to play this woman who gets to eat people and it was exactly how I felt. And it was just perfect and it was comedy and it was delicious and it was fun and it was irreverent and I couldn’t have loved it more. And it really saved me.”

She also got very honest about where she was at personally during that time.

“I had gained a lot of weight. I had lost my way. I was going through a really difficult divorce in that it just was the worst thing and everything I didn’t want to happen. And that’s what made it difficult. And I just got to remember, like, you are a person with a history. You’re not just a lost mother. You are, you know, a human individual and you can go and get lost into something and find yourself again. And that show was the greatest thing that could have ever happened to me. So it reminded me to not lose the baby with the bath water in that I don’t want to be filming all the time because I want to raise my kids. It’s like you are this person don’t ditch who you are for your kids. I think that’s a recipe for disaster and parenting.”

She also revealed the famous actor that was her boyfriend in grade school!

Drew Barrymore is opening up about her first-ever boyfriend, who ended up becoming a famous actor!

During the latest episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the 46-year-old actress and talk show host revealed that she dated Breckin Meyer when she was in grade school.

Scrubs actor Donald Faison was on the show and he talked about meeting Drew for the first time during a night out with Breckin.

“It was my birthday, it’s one of the highlights of my life. I had a hit movie coming out, I met you. Well I met you through Breckin Meyer and every time I’ve seen you since I’ve always been like, ‘I know Breckin,’” he said.

Drew added, “Breckin Meyer, aka Travis Birkenstock, was my like first boyfriend in like grade school. I love Breckin.”

Drew first wrote about dating Breckin in her autobiography, “Little Lost Girl.” She revealed in the book that her first kiss was with him!

“All I know is that it is true that is in her book,” Breckin told Access Hollywood back in 2012. “Hypothetically what happened was when I was 11.”

“Drew was a friend when I was young,” he added. “And she actually got me an audition with agent, which I owe all my work to… If you do me a favor, I’ll make out with you.”

It’s Drew Barrymore‘s 46th birthday and her longtime best friend Cameron Diaz made a surprise appearance, via Zoom, to help celebrate the special day.

During the cute interview, the former Charlie’s Angels co-stars revealed that they call each other “Poo Poo” and will even use the nickname while out for dinner in public.

Drew said that she doesn’t like sleeping in a bed with anyone other than a romantic partner, but she’ll let Cameron sleep with her.

“I don’t like co-sleeping with anyone, it’s a thing,” Drew said. “I don’t know why but it’s my thing. If it’s like a lover then obviously that’s different, but no friends. I will sleep in a bathtub, I’ve slept on a pool table, like you name it, but this one, oh my gosh. We’ve lived together for periods of time, been roommates. I’ve slept in a tent while my fever was breaking on a Chilean mountain in a thunderstorm in, like, Patagonia. I mean, yeah, we’ve been everywhere together.”

When fellow guest Savannah Guthrie said that fans want a Charlie’s Angels reunion Drew said, “I’m glad that people feel that way. I’ll be grannies in inner tubes with Poo Poo, so we can do anything and everything as long as we’re together. I have a whole life to live with you.”

Cameron then said the sweetest things about their friendship.

“Truly one of the great joys of my life is our friendship,” Cameron said. “When I think about you, literally I will cry, because I just think you’re so special and to celebrate you every year, it’s one of my favorite times of the year.”

Drew responded, “You’ve made me a better person my whole life. And you’ve seen me through everything. Ugly, beautiful, loss, life, birth.”

Drew burst into tears when another big star showed up to celebrate her birthday!

Watch the full interview below!

Steven Spielberg was one of the many surprise guests on Drew Barrymore‘s birthday special, airing today.

The famed director, who directed Drew in E.T. and is also her godfather, opened up about the funny gift exchange that went down after she posed for Playboy in 1995.

Apparently, Steven had gifted her with a quilt that said “Cover Up”, and a copy of the layout from the magazine which he covered up with paper doll cut out clothes.

“I sent her the Playboy layout and I had an artist come over and do paper doll cutout clothes which I glued on to all of her partially exposed photographs and sent the whole thing back to Drew, ‘Now she’s dressed.’ Then about a week later, Drew sent me something…She sent me an apology,” Steven revealed.

The apology gift was a series of photos where she is dressed up as a nun and posed in front of a church.

In the now framed photos, Drew is seemingly “repenting” for the shoot, and captioned the pictures with “I’m sorry,” “I’ve seen the light” and “I’m on my way” respectively.

The photos still hang in Steven‘s home today.

If you missed it, Drew got another surprise from someone important in her life.

Drew Barrymore‘s daughters are tough critics!

In a conversation with Hugh Grant for the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, the talk-show host revealed that her two daughters, Olive, 8, and Frankie, 6, aren’t the biggest fans of her movies.

“They call them ‘mom movies,’” Drew said.

When Hugh asked if they had watched Music and Lyrics, the movie they starred in together in 2007, Drew said she didn’t think her daughters had ever seen it.

“That is insane,” Hugh told her.

“I make mine watch my films every night. If they don’t watch my films, they don’t get fed,” he joked.

She shared that her daughters had seen some of her films, including E.T., 50 First Dates and Never Been Kissed, but that they didn’t have great reviews for the movies.

Regardless, Drew says she isn’t giving up. “I think I’m going to force them to watch it,” she said of Music and Lyrics.

She also added, “This is like phases of their life. They’ll come around.”

Drew Barrymore is opening up about why she never had any plastic surgery or cosmetic tweaks done to her appearance.

“I’ve never done anything to my face and I would like to try not to,” she said on an episode of her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show. “Never say never.”

“The thing that I do care about and I do feel is still relevant to my life is the face. I know myself. I’m a highly addictive person. I do one injection, I’m going to look like Jocelyn Wildenstein by Friday,” Drew said, explaining why she never underwent any sort of procedure.

By the way, if you’re unsure of the “Jocelyn Wildenstein” reference, she’s an American socialite known for her extensive cosmetic surgeries. You can see her photo embedded below.
