Barrymore goes off dating apps
Actor Drew Barrymore has decided that she doesn’t want to use dating applications anymore, even though they are “fun”.
“I got off [dating apps]. It was fun to try, though. I’ve been working out there in the public since I was young, so that myth of the blind date alluded me and I always wanted to do it, so that was like a dating app for me. But then it’s not blind on my side, so it just... I don’t know, doesn’t work,” Barrymore told etonline.com.
She was desperate to get out there again after her split. The actor had been married to art consultant Will Kopelman for three years — they separated in 2016. But she was surprised that none of her friends tried to set her up with anyone.
“None of my friends ever set me up! I think I have the same old friends for so long, we’re all in such a rhythm, we don’t even think like that,” she said.
The 50 First Dates star is now using her spare time to look after herself. She said, “Working mums forget to put a little bit [of time and effort] into ourselves but the tiniest little bit of concealer can make such a difference in your selfconfidence. So even one minute or 30 seconds can just sort of boost your self-esteem.”
The actor is now on a mission to prove to her two daughters that she is a strong woman.
