Drew Barrymore reflects on infamous David Letterman flashing incident

Drew Barrymore is getting reflective about her career as she begins a new chapter as a daytime talk show host. Ahead of the highly anticipated premiere of “The Drew Barrymore Show”, she spoke with “CBS Sunday Morning” for a candid interview in which she opened up about some of the more infamous moments in her career, such as the time in 1995 when she danced on David Letterman’s desk in at age 20 and flashed the late-night host in honor of his birthday. If there is one thing Barrymore has learned in a very long life in front of people is there is a line.

There is too much information. And Barrymore knows what that line is, and it is a feeling. Barrymore previously spoke about the infamous flashing moment in a 2018 interview with new “Late Show” host, Stephen Colbert, in which she also stated that she feels like a different person and called it a distant memory. Fortunately, there are no hard feelings between Barrymore and Letterman, who she revealed was one of the many celebrities who gave her advice about how to be a talk show host.

Growing up in a famous acting family known for its hard-partying Hollywood lifestyle, Barrymore’s rise to success was not a particularly clean one. Barrymore infamously went to rehab at 13 and successfully petitioned to get herself emancipated from her parents by age 14. Barrymore pushed the limits a lot, many different times in her life. Now, at age 45, Barrymore is a mother of two daughters, Olive, 7, and Frankie, 6, and she says that setting a good example for her children is what has replaced partying in her life.

Drew Barrymore wants to be all about the pillars of appropriateness and decorum, and she does not lie to her children.

Barrymore has lived a lot of different lives, and this is what is important to her now. Barrymore’s children have inspired her to be the best person she has ever been in her life, and she thanks them every single day for that. Barrymore shares her daughters with ex-husband Will Kopelman, who she divorced in 2016. Kopelman was her third husband after Tom Green and Jeremy Thomas.

Barrymore does not plan to ever get married again.
