Drew Barrymore About Her History of Blackout Drinking 

5 YEARS SOBER –

Sept. 10, 2024 – The “Charlie’s Angels” star sat down with Zoë Kravitz during Tuesday’s episode of her eponymous talk show to discuss the latter’s directorial debut in “Blink Twice,” which Barrymore admitted “really affected” her “personally.”

“There’s a lot about substances in the film,” Barrymore said of the thriller, which came out in theaters last month. And so watching this film was an extraordinary journey for me to forgive myself for that,” she explained while holding back tears. “Because I’ve put myself in situations I shouldn’t have put myself in.”

“And I felt so much shame about that,” she continued. “And I haven’t had a drink in five years.”

The “E.T.” star, 49, noted that the thriller “is not only a film about the things that can happen to us” but also a depiction of “the things we’ve done to ourselves.”
