Barrymore has concussion

-

Drew Barrymore was in hospital for two days after suffering a concussion while filming her new show, Santa Clarita Diet. The 41-year-old actress is winning rave reviews for her role as a half-zombie woman in Netflix’s new offering. But Barrymore was hospitaliz­ed after she fell and hit her head while rehearsing a scene in which she jumps on a man’s back. Medics were called. “(It was) ambulance, neck brace, I literally couldn’t move … and I couldn’t stop crying because I’ve never been hurt since I’ve been a mom and all I kept thinking was ‘I can’t be un- OK for my (two) children,’” she said. “I spent two days in a hospital — MRIs and CAT scans — because they worried whatever happened in the brain was going to swell,” she said, before adding the hospital decided she was well enough to leave when she started pondering interior design ideas for her room.
