Personal Life of Drew Barrymore: Is She Married or Divorced?

Drew Barrymore’s personal life has been full of ups and downs since she was a child. Her first marriage, to a Los Angeles bar owner named Jeremy Thomas, lasted only two months in 1994 when she was 19 years old. She met comedian Tom Green in 1999, and the next year they got married.

She got married to art consultant Will Kopelman in 2012, and they had two daughters together. In 2016, they split up.

Drew Barrymore Early Life

Drew was born into a famous family in Hollywood. She had a hard time getting along with her actor’s parents, John Drew Barrymore and Ildiko Jaid Mako Barrymore. She has been an actor since she was 11 months old and was cast in a commercial for dog food. At age 6, when she was in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, she became a well-known name.

She then acted in Firestarter and Irreconcilable Differences, which got her a Golden Globe nomination when she was only nine years old. Drew had trouble with drugs and alcohol, and when she was 13 she went to rehab. She was free from her parents when she was 14 years old.

Drew Barrymore Career

Barrymore started acting even before she was a year old when she was only 11 months old. The story goes that during her audition for a dog food commercial, a dog bit her, but she laughed instead of crying, which is what got her the job.

A few years later, she made her debut in the science fiction movie Altered States in 1980. However, it was her role as Gertie, Elliot’s younger sister, in E.T., which made her a worldwide movie star. After E.T., Barrymore was cast in the 1984 movie Firestarter, which was based on a book by Stephen King.

In Irreconcilable Differences, which came out the same year, she played a young girl whose famous parents were going through a divorce. This was a role that seemed to be based on her own life. The next year, in 1985, she was in another King movie, Cat’s Eye, a collection of scary stories. Even though her personal life was getting worse, she kept working through the 1980s.

Barrymore’s image changed in the 1990s. She worked hard to get rid of her image as a child actor and started playing older teens. The most well-known of these is probably 1992’s Poison Ivy, which bombed at the box office but became a cult favorite when it came out on home video.
