Drew Barrymore ‘grossed out’ by dating men in their 20s

Drew Barrymore has made it clear she has no interest in dating much younger men, describing the idea as “totally grossed out.”

During a segment on The Drew Barrymore Show with Ross Mathews and Sunny Anderson, the 50-year-old actress reflected on her love life, calling it a “bad run” while joking about the men she’s gone on dates with. 

When asked whether she’d ever considered dating men in their 20s, Barrymore responded firmly: “No, I’m totally grossed out by that. No, I have children, and it seems wrong now.”

The actress, who was married to Will Kopelman from 2012 to 2016 and shares two children with him, also discussed her approach to aging and self-care. 

Celebrating her 50th birthday in 2025, she emphasized she is happy with where she is in life and has no plans for cosmetic surgery.

Barrymore revealed her philosophy on aging gracefully during a behind-the-scenes moment on her show, “I haven’t done anything and I want to try and stay that way … but I also am like, do whatever works for you. 

"The only thing I do know is don’t judge other people because they do things differently. We’re all on our own path and we have to support each other, she added."

She offered fans candid advice about self-compassion, highlighting the link between mental and spiritual well-being and outward appearance. 

“I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. How many beautiful moments do we even get the privilege of seeing our reflection and that person looking back at us is us? The kinder, more patient, more resilient, more loving, embracing, less dismissive that we can be, the better it is for our mental game and spiritual game, which affects the face.”
