Drew Barrymore has been in the public eye since she was a child. She began starring in commercials as a baby before her breakout role in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. She’s shared more of her life than most actresses, including her struggles with addiction. The actress made a career shift to hosting her own daytime talk show. Now, the mom of two opened up and got real about aging naturally.
Drew Barrymore Gets Real About Aging Naturally
The pressure to be thin and wrinkle-free is heavy, especially in Hollywood. Many stars use Botox to keep aging at bay. Others go beyond that with facelifts or other plastic surgery. The use of Ozempic to lose weight has made several big-name stars unrecognizable.
But Drew Barrymore hasn’t given in to the pressure, at least not yet. She’s one of the rare Hollywood stars to age naturally. She has spoken out in the past about her decision to let nature take its course on her face and body. In a candid admission, the actress recently admitted that having kids changed the way she feels about her body. She shares two daughters, Olive and Frankie, with her ex-husband, Will Kopelman.
Drew Barrymore took to social media to share a video that made it clear where she stands on the process of aging. “It has been such an honor to earn every single line I have on my face,” she captioned a video that showed exactly why she has wrinkles.
The video begins with the text “Of course I have lines on my face,” and cuts to two videos of Drew Barrymore laughing. “This is what my life looks like,” she wrote. Drew Barrymore’s expressive face is one of her traits that fans love the most. Her empathy towards her talk show guests is another, though it can be controversial to outsiders.
Fans Embrace Her For Embracing Wrinkles
