Drew Barrymore felt she “tarnished” Gucci’s reputation when she wore one of the fashion house’s creations on the red carpet.

The actress donned a high-necked green dress to the 2006 Golden Globes and admits it was a huge fashion faux-pas as it made her breasts look too big and unsupported.

She said: “My worst red carpet moment is the Gucci green dress where my boobs look like watermelons, it’s the worst. Never wear a high neck dress with a high belt. It makes your t*ts look like they are at your waist. It was the Golden Globes. I felt so bad. I was like, ‘I’m so sorry, Gucci. I have tarnished your name.”

Although the 35-year-old star admits to making fashion mistakes in the past, Drew says she’s happy with the way she looks and recently vowed never to have plastic surgery.

She said: “F**k surgery! I’m so curious as to what’s going to happen naturally that I can’t imagine wanting to alter things just yet.

“And to all those women putting botulism in their faces – we don’t know what the long-term effects are, so stop! I’d rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face!”

Drew Barrymore would never change for a man as she says they have to accept her for who she really is.

Drew Barrymore would never change for a man.

The ‘Whip It’ star – who is rumoured to be engaged to actor Justin Long – says she could never pretend to be someone she’s not and needs a man to accept her for who she really is.

She told Britain’s OK! magazine: “On the first date, don’t not be yourself. Don’t sell them what you’re not really about – it’s exhausting.

“I’m never not myself and I don’t give a s**t if it’s to my detriment or not. This is who I am. What you see is what you get. I learnt that lesson when I was 13 – my entire life was out there and I didn’t have a choice. I thought, let me just ride with this wave.”

As well as not changing for a man, Drew recently claimed isn’t bothered about getting older.

The 34-year-old actress – who shot to fame aged six in ‘E.T’ – said: “It’s the best time of my life – it’s not traumatic at all. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. It’s like the older I get, the better I get. Gravity and wrinkles are fine with me. They’re a small price to pay for the new wisdom inside my head and my heart.

“If my breasts fall down to the floor and everything starts to sag and becomes hideous and gross, I won’t worry. I’ll just stop appearing in front of the camera. That’s fine with me because I love producing and directing.”

The 35-year-old star has been acting since she was 12 months old, and has literally grown up on the big screen. Despite this constant scrutiny, Drew claims she is not obsessed with her appearance, and has no plans to surgically eliminate the lines and wrinkles that have developed around her eyes and mouth.

“F**k surgery! I’m so curious as to what’s going to happen naturally that I can’t imagine wanting to alter things just yet,” she explained. “And to all those women putting botulism in their faces – we don’t know what the long-term effects are, so stop! I’d rather look like a basset hound than do that to my face!”

Drew had a “difficult” childhood, drinking alcohol and taking drugs by the time she was 10 and checking into rehab aged just 13. She has now revealed her weight also caused problems when she was younger as her classmates saw her as a “fat child” who they should beat up.

“I grew up in a family that was multifaceted, sexually oriented, and pretty much open to everything,” she told British newspaper The Daily Mail. “And because I was working, my friends were all adults.

“I had a tough time going to different schools because people knew me from films and I was the fat child who got beaten up every day. But if you can get through those times it makes you a better person.”

Drew Barrymore is a “girlie girl.”

The “Charlie’s Angels” actress – who is dating actor Justin Long – says her style changes every day but everything she wears has a feminine aspect to it.

The 35-year-old actress revealed: “My style is totally eclectic. It depends on what mood I wake up in. Am I feeling retro 60s? Am I hippy chick from the 70?

“But I love floral patterns too – I’m actually a bit of a girlie girl.”

Barrymore also spoke about her friendship with actress Cameron Diaz, saying she can confide in her about everything and knows she will always be given honest advice.

Barrymore added to new! magazine: “Cameron is one of my best friends. I think friendship is about being there for each other in the good and in the difficult times. It’s just being honest, giving sound advice and helping each other laugh.”

The 34-year-old actress – who made her directorial debut with ‘Whip It!’ – recently said she is comfortable with ageing but if the effects show too much, she plans to quit acting in favor of staying behind the camera.

She said: “It’s the best time of my life – it’s not traumatic at all. I don’t think I’ve ever been happier. It’s like the older I get, the better I get. Gravity and wrinkles are fine with me. They’re a small price to pay for the new wisdom inside my head and my heart.

“If my breasts fall down to the floor and everything starts to sag and becomes hideous and gross, I won’t worry. I’ll just stop appearing in front of the camera. That’s fine with me because I love producing and directing.”

Drew was interviewed by Anderson Cooper and I thought I’d share a portion. It’s a fairly in depth interview and I’ve provided the link at the bottom of the page as I know you will want to continue reading this!

The story of a child star done in by fame is as old as Hollywood itself. But the story of a child star from one of America’s greatest acting families, who nearly destroys herself, then bounces back to become not just a leading lady but a major film producer – that story belongs only to Drew Barrymore.

She was famous by 7, abusing drugs by 11, and at 15 was washed up and on her own. She may have come from acting royalty, but in many ways she was an orphan, a wild child raised by crews on movie sets. She is 34 now, and though she still sometimes talks like a teenager, she has become one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood, succeeding far beyond what anyone could have predicted.

How did she do it? That’s what we wanted to find out.

60 Minutes and CNN’s Anderson Cooper met up with Barrymore on Broadway in New York. At the height of afternoon rush hour, she stopped traffic.

t has been a while, but a Barrymore on Broadway was something generations of New Yorkers were once used to.

The Ethel Barrymore Theatre on 47th Street in Manhattan is named for her great-aunt, a legendary stage actress in the early 1900s.

Standing under a photo of her great-aunt, Cooper noticed Drew Barrymore shares the same profile with her ancestor.

“I don’t wanna be too self-congratulatory about it, I just love the fact that we have this sort of family stamp,” Barrymore said.

That Barrymore stamp graced silver screens from silent movies through the 1940s. Her great-aunt Ethel and her grandfather John Barrymore were considered the greatest actors of their generation.

Barrymore’s great-uncle, Lionel, was a famous character actor, who will forever be known as the sinister banker Mr. Potter in “It’s A Wonderful Life.”

Acting has been the family business for hundreds of years.

“Going back to Georgiana Drew and John Drew, and my great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore, and it was such a sort of circus of odd, interesting people that loved acting,” Barrymore told Cooper.

“There are Barrymores that have been acting since George III was in power,” he noted.

“Like the 14th century, it dates back to the family tree and I thought, ‘Well, I’m not crazy if I feel this magnetic bloodline pull to do this thing,” Barrymore said.

She felt the pull as a child, but she’d been pushed into the business long before that: when she was just 11 months old, she starred in a commercial for dog food.

Her big break however came at the age of 6 in the blockbuster hit “E.T.”

Her scene-stealing portrayal of Gertie made her an international star; movie audiences loved the precocious little girl, and so did director Steven Spielberg, who Barrymore calls her “Godfather.”

“I’ve always said about Drew that she’s tenaciously optimistic,” Spielberg said. “And she had really the kind of imagination that not only invited E.T. into a reality within herself, but it invited all of us to believe that what Drew was seeing was true.”

On the set between takes, Barrymore used to talk with E.T. She’d tell him her secrets.

“I liked hanging out with him. And I would bring him lunch, and put a little handkerchief around his neck,” Barrymore remembered.

She knew he was a fake, but, “that red beating heart just said so much to me. And I just felt like I could talk to him.”
