The actress shares her thoughts on family, work… and dating in the digital age.
For anyone who thinks dating is easier for celebrities, Drew Barrymore has news for you. The actress and single mum recently signed up with the private dating app Raya, but the results left her far from impressed. ‘I heard Amy Schumer saying she met her [now ex] boyfriend on there, so I went on and no-one responded,’ Drew says. ‘I texted with this one guy and said, “OK, sure, if you feel inclined to go for a drink, that’d be great. But zero pressure.” I never got a response.’
Drew thought things may have improved when the next potential match asked when she was available for a date. ‘It’s as lame as it gets!’ she says. ‘He writes me back and he goes, “Oh, I’m gone for the holidays.” And that was it.’
However, the rest of Drew’s life couldn’t be going better. After four decades in show business (yep, that’s right, four!) she’s at the top of her game, with her Netflix horror comedy Santa Clarita Diet now in its second season. It’s produced by Drew’s company Flower Films – just one of the many irons she has in the fire, along with Barrymore Wines, Flower Beauty and Flower Eyewear.
And, of course, there’s her favourite job of all: being a mum to her two gorgeous girls Olive, five, and Frankie, who turns four on April 22. ‘They’re my favourite people on the planet,’ says Drew, who remains close to her art-dealer ex, Will Kopelman. Here, Drew opens up about how she’s owning life as a single mum of two.
Santa Clarita Diet has been wildly successful. Is it true you nearly turned down a role on the show?
