Drew Barrymore appeared to be having a rough start in a recent interview with CBS4.
Here is everything you need to know.
Drew Barrymore’s interview with CBS4
Drew Barrymore recently sat down with Lisa Petrillo of CBS4 for an interview where she mentioned that she is incapable of being fake.
Barrymore seemed to be out of breath at the beginning of the interview as she greeted, ‘Hi Lisa.’
Petrillo then asked her how she is doing to which a harried-looking Barrymore replied, ‘This is how I am.’
Furthermore, the 47-year-old actress said, ‘I’m incapable of fake and BS. If this is the mood, I’m in or the mode. I’m in when you’re like running with your hair on fire, so be it. I hate people who fake it and say HI! I’m just great!’
Additionally, it appears like viewers enjoy the authentic realness of the Emmy Award-winning businesswoman and find it relatable.
She further teased that The Drew Barrymore Show is all about optimistic television. Its main purpose is to give informative news to the audience and inspire them.
Regardless, Barrymore added, ‘I want to be a bright spot, not a blind spot. We’re in tough times in the world and I want this to be an antidote without pretending we’re not fully aware of everything that’s happening.’
She went on to explain, ‘I also love comedy. It’s my coping mechanism, even if it gets real dark.’
Drew Barrymore talks about Katy Perry
Drew Barrymore also revealed in the interview that Katy Perry’s songs helped her through some tough times.
She recalled, ‘When I was going through a divorce and I moved from LA to New York and a career change, a lot was piled on. Me and my girls would sing “Roar” and that was our song to make us feel like we were not lost or displaced. So, to get to say thank you to Katy Perry for that, was such a gift.’
Nevertheless, the host Lisa Petrillo then asked if she has any secret methods for coping with pressure and stress.
The mother of two responded with, ‘I have no interest in selling that I’ve got this under control. Its messy life is messy and so I’m trying to do my best but it doesn’t always look or feel perfect, that is for sure.’
You can watch The Drew Barrymore Show on weekday mornings. It premieres at 9:30 am on CBS4, after CBS 4 News at 9 am.
