Before Drew Barrymore was eating dead body as part of her Santa Clarita Diet, she was eating cookies made from Pillsbury Cookie Dough. How awwwdoable is the 4-year-old in that 1979 commercial.
Did you know that Vin Diesel was not the original choice for Dominic Toretto in The Fast and the Furious? Originally, they wanted Timothy Olyphant to play the lead role, but he turned it down.
Yesterday, when he was on Watch What Happens Live, a caller wanted to know if he regretted turning down the part. But first Andy Cohen wanted to know why he decided not to do the movie. The actor said, “I just thought well this will just be stupid.” Then he added, “And I thought that no one is going to want to see this movie eight or nine different times. I mean by the third or fourth sequel people are definitely going to get bored of it.” As we know, he was wrong because they have released eight movies with a spinoff and ninth movie in the works. Hey, we all make mistakes, just some make much costlier mistake.
Talking about turning down roles, did you know Drew Barrymore, Olyphant’s Santa Clarita costar, turned down Showgirls. Although she claims it was a mutual decision between her and the director Paul Verhoeven. That turned out to be a smart decision on her part.
The best part of them turning down those movies, is we get to watch them Santa Clarita Diet that starts streaming its second season tonight on Netflix.
Drew Barrymore has been in the limelight ever since she was barely out of diapers, and because of that she has graced many magazines and red carpets since then. InStyle compiled some of her best photos from when she was little girl and asked her to pose like that again. Does the Firestarter still have that spark? She never lost it throughout all of these decades. That is why we have loved her ever since she became friends with a little guy we know as ET: The Extra Terrestrial.
When it comes to how the 42-year-old, mother of two feels about reliving her past, she says, “These memories make me so happy.” Then she added, “And I am happy that I haven’t aged like an old leather bag. Have not touched my face ever! People have said I have here and there, funny enough. But I haven’t. I’ve just lived the exact life I wanted. Some messy. Some valiant. But this is just me. Plain old me over a span of almost 40 years!” And what a ride those 40 incredible years have been for her!
Earlier in the week, Drew Barrymore shared a makeup free photo of herself with grey hairs and unplucked eyebrows, and today she posted a photo all cleaned up for season 2 of Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet. Whether we see her looking like the perfect actress or the perfect mom, she is perfect either way!
Drew Barrymore is a single mother to 2 daughters, ages 4 and 3, so that means she has very little time to take care of herself. Here she is with grey hairs and eyebrows that desperately need to be plucked. Does she care? Nope because she is a mom. It is just the people at Santa Clarita Diet who will care because Zombies don’t go grey and have perfectly shaped brows.
My hat is off to her because she proves that even beautiful actress need maintenance just like you and me!
