Why Did Drew Barrymore Ditch Acting for 'The Drew Barrymore Show'? Real Reason Revealed
"The Drew Barrymore Show" will soon reach its first anniversary, and Drew opened up the reason why she pushed through the show.
On September 14, Barrymore officially launched her brand new talk show. She welcomed Adam Sandler, and her "Charlie's Angels" co-stars Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu during the premiere.
A few months before she reaches a new milestone, the 46-year-old "50 First Dates" actress talked about the breaks from acting she and Diaz took.
In an interview with EW, Barrymore said that she and Diaz do not want people to know what they are up to or what keeps them busy.
Still, she noted that one day, her friend might star in a movie again. But there is also a possibility that she would not ever again.
"I think both of us, we've been doing this our whole lives and we love what we get to do, and sometimes it's fun to just shift gears and bring something else to the forefront, and it's still awesome," Barrymore said.
