Who is his former wife Drew?
Drew Blythe Barrymore was born in Culver City, California USA on 22 February 1975 – her zodiac sign is Pisces, and she holds American nationality. She has appeared in close to 100 movies and TV series, while she’s perhaps still known best for her portrayal of the lead character Lucy Whitmore, in the 2004 romantic comedy movie “50 First Dates”. It was directed by Peter Segal, also starred Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider, and follows a womanizer who has fallen in love with Lucy, a beautiful girl suffering from short-term memory loss; the movie won six of the 16 awards for which it was nominated.
Drew was raised an only child in Poinsettia Place, West Hollywood, by her father John Drew Barrymore who was an actor, and her mother Jaid Barrymore who was an actress; Drew has three older paternal half-siblings. The family of three moved to Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California when Drew was seven, and she studied at Fountain Day School. Drew was only three years old when she made her debut film appearance, in the 1978 romantic drama “Suddenly, Love”, and she then went on to appear in various movies, such as the biographical drama “Bogie” and the science fiction horror thriller “Altered States” both in 1980, and the 1982 family science fiction adventure “E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial”.
Drew’s sudden stardom didn’t do her well, as she became a regular at the nightclub Studio 54 even before becoming a teenager, and was just 13 when she entered a drug rehabilitation program; she then spent a year and a half at a mental institution, and at the age of 14 attempted suicide. Aged 15, Drew became emancipated and moved into her own apartment. One of her first notable performances following the events mentioned above was perhaps her portrayal of the lead character Ivy in the 1992 thriller drama “Poison Ivy”, written and directed by Katt Shea, and which also starred Sara Gilbert and Tom Skerritt. It follows a teenage girl who has befriended her high school introverted peer, and has become friends with her entire family; the movie was nominated for two awards.
A couple of Drew’s other roles in the ‘90s were in the 1994 romantic action adventure “Bad Girls”, the 1996 romantic musical comedy “Everyone Says I Love You”, and the 1998 romantic comedy drama “Ever After: A Cinderella Story”. What marked the 2000s for her was perhaps her portrayal of Mary in the 2009 romantic comedy movie “He’s Just Not That Into You”, directed by Ken Kwapis, and which starred Ginnifer Goodwin, Jennifer Aniston and Jennifer Connelly. The movie revolves around several people and how they read and misread other people; it won one of the five awards for which it was nominated.
