Drew Barrymore Playboy Shoot: Says She has No Regrets But Won't Let Daughter Pose Like She Did at 19-Years-Old
Movie star Drew Barrymore is now married and a mom. She is also known to be one of Hollywood's most shocking success stories. As a teen Drew went through a turbulent stage in life from partying to drugs to rehab. Even though Barrymore says she has no regrets, she will do her best to prevent her daughters from having the wild life she did.
In an interview with ABC News' Amy Robach, Drew Barrymore tells it like it is. Now 38 years old, married for the third time to Will Kopelman and expecting her second daughter, Drew opens up about motherhood. When Amy asks if there's anything that she looks back at in her life that makes her "cringe?" Drew answers, "No. I celebrate that I had any sense of freedoms at a certain point, because I don't feel like that now".
"I love the very exposed, humorous, imperfect, never trying to pretend to be perfect journey that I have been on in my life," Barrymore adds.
The E.T. child star had a problematic childhood, even admitting to drinking at Hollywood parties at the age of 9 years old. At the age of 13, Drew Barrymore went to rehab for drug and alcohol abuse. She later on attempted to commit suicide and finally became emancipated from her parents at 15-years old. At 19, Barrymore posed completely nude for Playboy magazine and got her first divorce from Jeremy Thomas. Pretty wild huh?
But Drew Barrymore overcame her young and out of control years and continued having a successful acting career. Barrymore remains estranged from mother Jaid Barrymore, and father John Drew Barrymore died in 2004. Making a happy and rewarding life for herself, Drew speaks excitedly about her daughter Olive, 15 months, and her 6-month pregnant belly.
"What if Olive comes to you at 18 or 19 and says, 'Mom, I want to pose for Playboy?'" Robach asked. "I would not let her. I don't think I would. I would influence her not to, because my life choices are supposed to be the gateway to somebody else's. That's my journey," Drew answers. "I have no regrets in my life whatsoever, I'm psyched about it all. I'm just in such a different mind frame. I'm in mom mode now," the "Big Miracle" star said.
Drew says she plans to be a good role model for her children moving forward and that "whatever [she] experienced in [her] life is a part of [her] story, and [she's] proud of that."
