Drew Barrymore experienced “tremendous pain” growing up in the public eye. The 35-year-old actress, who first took cocaine at the age of 12, admits the attention of being in tabloid newspapers while she was a teenager was difficult to deal with.
She said, “My hedonistic moment wasn’t that tumultuous. It just happened at such a young age so it seemed way crazier than it was. Everyone goes to a point where they do stuff excessively. And the majority of people bounce back. Some of them fall into the rabbit hole, I just got mine out of the way early.”
She added, “There were moments when I experienced tremendous pain with everything being so known. You’re like, ‘Can I have an embarrassing moment or do anything in private?’”
However, she admits she eventually realised all teenagers experience similar problems, just on a smaller scale.
She told the Daily Telegraph, “If you’re a 16-year-old and in high school and it doesn’t work out with the guy, and everyone’s talking about it in the hallways, it’s the same feeling. It’s all relative.”
