It became famous two years later thanks to the film ET Alien. However, her popularity also brought with it things disproportionate to her age. People kept asking for autographs from her, and many treated her like an adult. As she later mentioned, thanks to her familiar face, she was released everywhere – even in nightclubs.

And the little girl soon “behaved” like an adult. “I started smoking when I was nine. I wanted to be rough. And I felt that when I smoked, I could drink. ” Barrymore revealed about her childhood. She also used alcohol for marijuana and cocaine. She first received treatment at the age of 13 and it was not the only stay in the hospital.

In 1990, she slowly began to get back on her feet as an actress. The child star became a sexy young woman who appeared in the films Poison Ivy, Scream, Batman Forever and Unkilled. She even became one of Charlie’s angels.

Currently, she also remembered her controversial past in preparation for her show. The actress underwent ear piercing and at the same time answered really personal questions. “Today it shocks me that I was someone who took pictures for Playboy or someone who dances on David Letterman’s table. I don’t feel connected to that person at all, it just seems like a memory. But I actually feel grateful to have done all those things because I feel compelled to find out how to behave properly and be safe. It’s like I was in reverse fashion, I think I had a midlife crisis when I was 13 years old. But it’s fun to raise girls with the knowledge I did, because it taught me a lot, “ remarked the divorced mother of two daughters.

But then she was asked what surprised her most as a parent, and it was with this answer that tears began to stream down her cheeks. “I was surprised that you could not be ashamed of your past, that you could accept it and not pretend to be someone else or think you shouldn’t have done those things. That they can be part of what shapes your character and you as a human being. And that you don’t have to regret it, or be ashamed or deny it, but you can take it as such an arsenal into the present and the future, ” Drew said.

As she admitted, she first had the idea of ​​what would happen if children discovered things from her past. “And then I thought I couldn’t wait to share it with them. I am glad that they have me who is so devoted to the fact that they are really children, they have stability and a decent life, all that was not my case at all. I treat them differently than I did myself, because I think I was ashamed of how I led my life – how I could get so wild, fall into drugs, lose a career at 13, be locked up in the constitution, to have relationships too young … ” she named, admitting that she knew she wasn’t perfect and that she was glad she didn’t even have to pretend.
