Drew Barrymore and Britney Spaers have become friends. There are some parallels in their lives.
Actress and presenter Drew Barrymore (47) has opened up about her friendship with the pop star Britney Spears (40) spoken. “We’ve both been through a lot, we have some parallels that are unique in their circumstances,” the Hollywood star said on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show.” “We found a deep connection there.”
She contacted Spears when she was trying to end her guardianship. “Me and Britney became friends about a year and a half ago.” Both women had exchanged more or less secretly for a while, which was “very connecting and honest”, explained Barrymore. They are now “sincere friends”.
Even as children in public
“The feeling of growing up, struggling, all the things that we’ve both experienced is something that made me feel connected to her,” Barrymore said. Spears, who became a star as a child, had her father removed from court as her guardian last fall. Spears is at odds with him, but also with her mother and sister. Barrymore was also in front of the camera as a child and has spoken about difficult relationships with her family in past interviews.
Barrymore was also among the wedding guests of Spears and her partner Sam Asghari. Alongside her, Madonna, Selena Gomez, Donatella Versace and Paris Hilton were invited to the June ceremony. “It was intimate, it was fairytale, it was very sweet,” says Barrymore.
