Drew Barrymore Talks About Approaching 40, Being a Mom, and Gracing InStyle’s Cover for the 7th Time

Here is part of Drew’s interview with InStyle Magazine!

InStyle’s September issue is a record breaker. First with its size — the girth of its 716 pages deem it the largest issue we have ever published in our nearly 20 year history. And for our cover subject, Drew Barrymore, who is a record-setter in her own right: This marks her seventh InStyle cover, the most for any star ever. She celebrated her history with InStyle by having a reunion of sorts with Editor Ariel Foxman, who had first sat down with her near the beach in Santa Monica a decade ago. This meeting was decidedly more high-tech: The two chatted over Spreecast, a live digital video service. Throughout their conversation one thing was remarkably clear: Barrymore proves that you actually can live happily ever after. Having long ago slain her dragons to overcome the trials and misadventures of her youth, she has finally found her prince (husband Will Kopelman), has given birth to a little princess (1-year-old Olive), and rules with grace over a self-made empire (she runs a production company, Flower Films, and a beauty line, Flower Beauty, to name a few). Scroll down to read a portion of Ariel and Drew’s conversation. To read the full interview, pick up the new InStyle, on newsstands and available for download to your tablet starting Friday, August 16.

Editor’s Note: The following is excerpted from the Drew Barrymore cover story, “A Real-Life Fairy Tale” by Ariel Foxman, which originally appears in InStyle’s September 2013 issue.

ARIEL FOXMAN: Olive is a year old now. What types of things are you experiencing with her now?

DREW BARRYMORE: Yesterday I took her to the Guggenheim Museum, and these two little girls were dancing in front of a light installation. They were about 7 years old, and Olive just loves kids. We put her on the floor, and you could see how much she wanted to play with them. I had this weird mix of emotions. I was so proud of my daughter that she was giving of herself, and I began remembering those moments when as a child, you’re like, “I wanna play! I wanna play!” And the other kids are like, “Not now, kid. Beat it!”

AF: “Step aside!”

DB: I was like, “Oh my god, this what being a parent is.” It’s a lot of pride and a lot of nervousness.

AF: Are you an anxious parent?

DB: I love the person who said, “Parenting is like wearing your heart on the outside of your body.” It’s the most beautiful, perfect analogy. I have anxieties about how much I’d like to get it right, making sure I provide her with an environment that’s safe, nurturing, and loving. And silly and free, also consistent and grounding. Then I just have the same typical fear every other parent has: Are they going to fall down?

AF: Is your husband, Will, very calm?

DB: Will and I are a nice balance of opposition and similarities. He always says, “being calm is so important.” Because I tend to be not calm. I probably act more like a chicken with its head cut off! But I can also be very strong. I’m entering my 40s, and now I get to step back and take these incredible, extraordinary life experiences and life lesson and apply them to being a parent.

AF: What are the most important lessons you have learned?

DB: Nothing comes for free. Life does not provide you with an easy ride. You have to face really deep internal and sometimes external challenges. It’s so humbling. Not to take away from the really big obstacles everybody faces, but I’ve also learned you just have realize how ridiculous certain things can be.

Tripp Halstead gets visit from Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore

I thought this was super sweet! Atlanta’s 11 Alive shares this fun story of Drew & Adam visiting a little boy named Tripp Halstead.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — Hollywood paid a visit to Tripp Halstead, as Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore took time out of a movie shoot to visit with Tripp.

According to the Halstead’s Facebook page, the two stars were filming the movie “Blended” in Flowery Branch and asked Tripp to come see them.

Here’s the Facebook Post:

Bill: all I can say is wow, you never know who is reading your story. We received a message yesterday from Kathryn Covert, she is married to Allen Covert, who is best friends with Adam Sandler!! She has been following Tripp’s story from the very Tripp like he was the movie star, it was so cute!! He really did awesome, he was waving at people and flashing that precious grin of his, we also gave everyone a Teamboom shirt, so hopefully we spot them out and about (or maybe a brief cameo in the movie!!) wearing them. Tripp had a great night last night and it was so precious, in his sleep he would pick up his arm like he was practice waving lol. Thank you all again so much for everything, hope everyone has a great day!!

‘I Live for Food!’ Actress Drew Barrymore on Making Wine, Cooking Thai, and the Romance of the Food Movement

Bon Appétit did an interview with Drew discussing her Barrymore Wine and food and the enjoyment of cooking!

Instead of trying to do it all at once, Hollywood icon turned wine entrepreneur Drew Barrymore is taking it one recipe–and one grape, starting with Pinot Grigio–at a time.

Let’s start with the basics: What’s your approach to eating?
I hate women who say they can eat whatever they want, because I don’t relate to that at all. It isn’t fair! I absolutely live for food.

Favorite meal of the day?
I didn’t grow up in a traditional family and I never had a family dinner around the table, so whenever I actually had a dinner “plan,” it meant a lot to me; it made me feel excited and safe. And now that I’m an adult, dinner is a great pleasure.

How did you start cooking?
I became obsessed with food sometime in the last decade. I’m pretty late to the game. I’m such an avid magazine reader–music, art, beauty magazines–and I found that food and restaurants were pouring into everything I cared about. Whether it was the pop-up concept, or some mysterious mini-mall restaurant, I got swept up in the sexy romance of the food movement.

What do you listen to in the kitchen?
I cooked to Chet Baker the other day. Old, moody, yummy jazz is so good. Then again, I also think you should cook to N.W.A. Or Madonna. The other day, I poured a glass of Champagne and started blasting “Express Yourself.”

What do you cook for you and your husband?
I’m good at making one thing at a time, so it’s usually a one-pot situation–for now! I make this Thai peanut noodle dish with scallions, sesame seeds, and a peanut butter-Sriracha sauce with a yummy, gummy noodle type of thing. I also make Asian meatloaf, so instead of tomato sauce, you make it with hoisin sauce. And I love doing spaghetti and meatballs and having leftovers.

So, Barrymore Wines. How do you select them?
I’ve always loved Pinot Grigio. Next up, I’d love to find myself in Provence for rosé, or Argentina looking for a Malbec, or maybe back to Italy for one of the three B’s [Barbaresco, Barolo, and Barbera].

Favorite red?
I love a good Tignanello. That’s the bottle I turn to if I want to do something really special for someone.

Are you a wine snob?
Not at all. In fact, I’m sure wine snobs look at me and think, How dare you.

What’s the eating plan for your infant daughter?
I’ve been made to feel bad that I’m not steaming all of her vegetables from a farmers’ market, or for only giving her jarred organic food. But I refuse to feel bad about any of it. I wish I were that all-homegrown-food, perfect woman, but I’m not. I’m the mom with the kitchen on fire, and food on our faces, and we’re happy, singing and playing.

Deadline shared this news about the film Animal which Drew is executive producer for!

EXCLUSIVE: Horror network Chiller today announced the addition of two features to its line-up of 2013-2014 original movies. Animal, from exec producer Drew Barrymore and her Flower Films banner, follows a group of friends stranded in an isolated cabin who find themselves hunted by a predator.

Jacobs’s short story, to launch Chiller Films’ new multiplatform release strategy. The four titles will get limited theatrical runs via Synthetic Cinema International before debuting on VOD in partnership with NBCU Digital Distribution.

Animal
When plans for a weekend vacation hit a dead end, a group of close-knit friends find themselves stranded in unfamiliar territory, pursued by a menacing, blood thirsty predator. Holed up in an isolated cabin, tensions mount as long-buried secrets are revealed. As the body count rises, the group must put their differences aside and fight for survival. Animal is from executive producers Drew Barrymore and Nancy Juvonen, and producers Chris Miller, Ember Truesdell, Kelly Smith and Thommy Hutson for Flower Films. The film is written by Thommy Hutson and Catherine Trillo and directed by Brett Simmons; creature effects are by Gary J. Tunnicliffe.
