Like her BFF Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore isn’t afraid of aging, but she’s also not afraid of going under the knife.
“I don’t want to be vain or fearful, and I don’t think I’ll do anything [in terms of plastic surgery], but if I want to do something, I will,” asserts the 35-year-old actress in the August issue of Elle. “From my perspective, there’s no reason to be afraid of aging, because if you age, you’re lucky! The alternative is death.”
She’s also not scared of being alone. Drew, who stars in the upcoming comedy “Going the Distance” with her ex Justin Long, is currently single, but has no qualms about it. “If you’re 35 and single and it’s a choice, it feels fine. So I didn’t settle with the wrong person yet. Big deal!” (Um, let’s not forget she did settle twice before — she was married to Welsh bar owner Jeremy Thomas for a little over a month in 1994, and comedian Tom Green for a little over a year in 2001. Live and learn!)
Kicking off her career at the age of 7 in “E.T.,” Barrymore has consistently been working since 1982, but somewhere along the line she got a reputation as a ditzy blonde. While she may be bubbly, could a ditz have achieved as much success as Barrymore — who owns her own production company Flower Films and won a Golden Globe Award for her portrayal of Edith Bouvier Beale in HBO’s “Grey Gardens” — has?
The media’s misconception of happy-go-lucky Drew puzzles her as well. “I make movies,” she says. “I have a passion. Puppies and daisies don’t accomplish anything. That’s not me at all.”
Of course, all that ambition can tire a person out. “For three years straight, I’ve been burning the candle at both ends, and as of last December, I just didn’t have anything left,” she reveals. “I’ve been so aggressive about living life to the fullest and being plugged into everything, but now I’ve ripped the plug out of the wall and put it on the floor for a while. I’m thinking about the same things as when I was 15, about spirituality and who I am, who I want to be. It’s cocoon, pupa, larva, and f—, I’m reborn!”
