Barrymore calls cocaine her ‘worst nightmare’
During an appearance on Norm Macdonald’s new Netflix show Friday, actress Drew Barrymore said she does not miss cocaine, a drug she began using at 12 years old as a child star.
“No. Oh, God. I mean, it’s been a very long time, but no,” she told Macdonald. “Nothing would make me have a panic attack and seem like a bigger nightmare.” Barrymore, 43, also said she “never did hallucinogenics.”
“I drink; I enjoy my life and get out of my own head,” Barrymore said. “It’s not that I’m this militant person of clarity and presence, but (cocaine) literally seems like my worst nightmare right now.”
