Drew Barrymore was 7 when E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial made her a movie star in 1982. Within the year, the self-described “party girl” was hitting nightclubs with her mum. She developed a drinking problem that saw her go to rehab at age 13, followed by an 18-month stint in a psychiatric hospital, where she was treated for alcohol and drug addiction, before being emancipated from her parents at age 14.
It’s little wonder that in raising daughters Olive, 11, and Frankie, 10, with her ex Will Kopelman, the star is a little wary about the parenting path that lays ahead.
“My daughter who is … about to turn 12, she really wants to be 16. Going on 25,” Barrymore, 49, spilled on the May 1 episode of her eponymous talk show during an interview with actress Jessica Capshaw, herself a mum of four. “It’s so triggering! What do I do?!” She then revealed she leans on other famous mum friends for help.
