Drew Barrymore’s childhood was anything but normal. At the age of 6, he entered the world of fame with his role in Steven Spielberg’s “ET the Extra-Terrestrial”. He spent his childhood as a child actor, but also partied and visited rehab at the age of 12. The actor, 47, recently opened up about his unconventional childhood on the inaugural edition of his new podcast, “Drew’s News,” with guest, and former child actor friend Rob Lowe, whom he’s known for most of his life.

Sugar Wasn’t Allowed But Alcohol And Weed Was During Barrymore’s Childhood
The two longtime friends discussed various news before talking about Candy Funhouse Canada’s search for a chief candy officer. That led Lowe to talk about sugar and the sugar-deprived kids who would sneak up behind their parents. Lowe says, “Beware of kids who tell you their parents won’t let them eat sugar.” Barrymore added, “By the way, you’re right. You are right, because my mother does not allow me to eat sugar. Studio 54, and weed, and alcohol – fine. But don’t touch that sugar.”
Barrymore went on to explain that while other bad habits happen “out in the open,” sugar happens behind closed doors, closet doors to be exact. “I put chocolate in the cupboard,” he said.

Barrymore Openly Discusses Her Modesty and Mental Health
Last December during a visit to “CBS Mornings” to discuss his upcoming interview with Machine Gun Kelly on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the talk show host opened up about his sobriety revealing he hasn’t had a drop of alcohol in two-and-a-half years. Barrymore said she’s always “been very private with a lot of my struggles.” And while she didn’t elaborate on her decision to get sober, she said, “It was something that I realized was not useful to me and my life.”
The actress is the mother of two daughters, Olive, 9, and Frankie, 8, with ex-husband Will Kopelman. Barrymore and Kelly discussed mental health during their interview, and Barrymore explained that she sought help for her mental health after her divorce in 2016. “I wasn’t doing well, and I just wanted to go talk to some people and how to pull myself out of hole, and I have these two kids that I have to think about and I need help.” He continued, “I started reaching out to different people and eventually, I really made some big, sweeping changes in my life, and I hit a new track — not back on track, but a brand new one that I helped build.”

Barrymore Spent Over A Year In A Psychiatric Hospital As A Teenager
In early 2021, Barrymore revealed that she spent 18 months in a psychiatric ward at the age of 13. He revisited the facility on an episode of his show. “Life is so beautiful compared to what’s in this place. I can’t believe I can actually be where I am now because I’m here. I don’t see that, I think I’ll be here forever,” he said on time of the visit. “I never thought I’d make it to a better place and I’m very happy with my life and I don’t know if I’d have the life I have if it wasn’t for a place like this. So it’s really important to come to here today and like honoring this.”
