Drew Barrymore once spoke openly about her personal life after hearing comments from Andrew Garfield.
Garfield had shared that he abstained from sex for six months while preparing for his role as a Jesuit priest in the 2016 film Silence. He said the decision helped him fully commit to the character.
During an episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Barrymore responded by saying that six months did not seem like a long time. She added that she has gone “years” without sex and does not view that as unusual.
Now 50, Barrymore has been single since her divorce from Will Kopelman in 2016. She has spoken about being cautious with dating and valuing her independence. She also said she is not interested in dating much younger men, explaining that, as a mother, it does not feel right for her.
Barrymore has described her dating life as challenging but maintains a light, humorous tone when discussing it. Her comments reflect her broader approach: open, honest and comfortable discussing personal topics without embarrassment.
