Inside Drew Barrymore's 'plain Jane' apartment that shocks fans as she breaks down in tears over the mess

Daily Mail​6 days ago
D rew Barrymore has shown off her New York City apartment in a new video shared to Instagram on Monday.
The 50-year-old talk show host took fans from room to room inside the sprawling pad as she revealed all the odd, old things she was planning on throwing out.
It was all part of a 'home project,' the ET actress said on the clip. 'The many emotions of starting a home project. Why do I do this to myself??' she wrote in her caption.
The living quarters are a far cry from what one would expect a successful movie star and cosmetics mogul who is worth $125M to live in.
Instead of high ceilings and modern fixtures, the dwelling appeared frozen in the 1980s with more homey comforts. And some of the rooms were just plain cluttered with too much clothing, toys and furniture.
Fans were shocked at the 'glow down' of her pad as they shared comments such as, 'That is a plain Jane apartment if I ever saw one' and, 'WOW. All I see is clutter. That set my OCD off big time.'
One fan had an eagle eye: 'OMG I spy a vintage ET lunchbox on the top shelf.'

Drew wore a colorful tie-dye T-shirt with pale pink Free City sweatpants as she had her hair up in a ponytail.
Her mood was at times jolly and at other times mournful as she made humorous comments.
The video began with her breaking down in tears as she stood in front of a home office. She seemed overwhelmed by the home task at hand as she talked to an assistant.
Next Barrymore appeared happier as she walked out of a bathroom with white-and-black tiles.

She was in a room that had a lot going on, like a plastic table, a gold lamp, a painting of a pink flamingo and a framed photograph.
The clip took a funny turn when she closed herself inside her tiny home office which had wallpaper with pink flamingos in a gray background.
Next came her taking odd things off a shelf like a red bucket with arts and crafts projects inside and a large stuffed turkey, though she did say 'the turkeys are staying.'

The Poison Ivy actress danced a little as she walked out of the closet holding red heart shaped clips.
Then she was back in her bathroom as she folded her arms while crying into a mirror. The room was a mess with Home Depot buckets near her and two ladders.
The ex of Luke Wilson took a break from her chores to dance a little but before closing her eyes and sighing deeply.
More clips saw her in her living room and walk-in closet.
At the end of the video, she has a brown backpack on as she waves her finger now while frowning.
She was praised by fans for her authenticity after she shared a rare glimpse inside her home.
Fans felt the home was very 'normal' considering her fame and wealth.
In arch 2024, the star went viral on TikTok after she shared a clip of herself cooking and tidying up her home as viewers claimed they didn't know it was 'possible' that an A-lister like Drew could live in a 'normal house.'
Drew is frequently praised for her down-to-earth attitude and in a recent post on the social media app, she offered up yet another example of how she shies away from the stereotypical celebrity lifestyle.
The actress was applauded for her 'modest' home, with many viewers voicing their surprise that the multi-millionaire had such a 'small' cooking space - while others admitted that they had expected to see Drew living in a much more over-the-top mansion.
She captioned the viral video, which has so far amassed over 507,000 views, 'I love staying in.'
As she cooked, tried clothes on, and showed herself eating the background audio said: 'I like staying in. I know everyone thinks it's boring but it's really not.
'It's the least boring thing. I'm a really happy little hermit. I love being at home . I never want to go anywhere.'
The video featured glimpses of her home, which she previously told the LA Times was in between New York City and the Hamptons, having relocated from Los Angeles to the East Coast so that her children could be closer to their father, her ex Will Kopelman.
People flooded the comments section and praised her for her humble abode.
One person said: 'You give off the vibes of you bought your first apartment and you are still there, so wholesome and cute.'
Someone else added: 'Is it possible that you live in a normal house?!'
Another person commented: 'Wait, you don't have a chef?'
'I just love how simple but sophisticated you live,' wrote another user.

The single mother of daughters, Olive, 11, and Frankie, nine, admitted to People that, 'this has been the best decade of my life, without question.'
'It wasn't just the most awesome, it was the one where I feel like I've slayed more dragons than I ever have in my whole life.'
On the topic of positivity and happiness, she added, 'As a kid and even in my 20s and 30s, happiness seemed like this very giddy, excited optimism. It is a choice. You have to work for that. It is hard to get to some days. And so when you've harnessed it, that feels like such a better victory.'
In 2013, Drew sold her 1937 country estate, located in beautiful Montecito, California, for $6.35million, which was well below the asking price of $7.5million.
The Charlie's Angels star bought the two-acre home in 2010 for $5.7 million dollars, so she was able to walk away with a sizable profit.
The traditional home is six thousand square feet, has six bedrooms, seven and a half baths and an additional one bedroom guesthouse.
After leaving the mansion in 2013, Drew reportedly moved on to Manhattan duplex with her then-husband Will Kopelman while still having a California space.
When they split in 2016, Will moved to New York and Drew followed so that they could 'carry on as a family', despite being separated - adding that she didn't want it to affect her kids. Following her move, she has since kept the details of her properties private.

Hulk Hogan 's son, Nick, has spoken out on the 'overwhelming and extremely difficult' death of his father. Hulk, a wrestling legend, died at the age of 71 on Thursday after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida. Emergency services rushed him to a local hospital but the WWE icon was ultimately declared dead. Taking three days to process the devastating loss, Nick, 35, thanked those who had reached out to support him through the difficult time as he paid an emotional tribute to his father.

'My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for. I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world. He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend. He always has been my best friend and I love him and miss him more than I could ever explain.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' scores Marvel's first $100 million box office opening of 2025

Marvel's first family has finally found box office gold. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' the first film about the superheroes made under the guidance of Kevin Feige and the Walt Disney Co., earned $118 million in its first weekend in 4,125 North American theaters, according to studio estimates Sunday. That makes it the fourth biggest opening of the year, behind 'A Minecraft Movie,' 'Lilo & Stitch' and 'Superman,' and the biggest Marvel opening since 'Deadpool & Wolverine' grossed $211 million out of the gate last summer. Internationally, 'Fantastic Four' made $100 million from 52 territories, adding up to a $218 million worldwide debut. The numbers were within the range the studio was expecting. The film arrived in the wake of another big superhero reboot, James Gunn's 'Superman,' which opened three weekends ago and has already crossed $500 million globally. That film, from the other main player in comic book films, DC Studios, took second place with $24.9 million domestically. 'First Steps' is the latest attempt at bringing the superhuman family to the big screen, following lackluster performances for other versions. The film, based on the original Marvel comics, is set during the 1960s in a retro-futuristic world led by the Fantastic Four, a family of astronauts-turned-superhuman from exposure to cosmic rays during a space mission. The family is made up of Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), who can stretch his body to incredible lengths; Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), who can render herself invisible; Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), who transforms into a fiery human torch; and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), who possesses tremendous superhuman strength with his stone-like flesh. The movie takes place four years after the family gained powers, during which Reed's inventions have transformed technology, and Sue's diplomacy has led to global peace. Both audiences and critics responded positively to the film, which currently has an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and promising exit poll responses from opening weekend ticket buyers. An estimated 46% of audiences chose to see it on premium screens, including IMAX and other large formats. The once towering Marvel is working to rebuild audience enthusiasm for its films and characters. Its two previous offerings this year did not reach the cosmic box office heights of 'Deadpool & Wolverine," which made over $1.3 billion, or those of the 'Avengers'-era. But critically, the films have been on an upswing since the poorly reviewed 'Captain America: Brave New World,' which ultimately grossed $415 million worldwide. ' Thunderbolts," which jumpstarted the summer movie season, was better received critically but financially is capping out at just over $382 million globally. Like Deadpool and Wolverine, the Fantastic Four characters had been under the banner of 20th Century Fox for years. The studio produced two critically loathed, but decently profitable attempts in the mid-2000s with future Captain America Chris Evans as the Human Torch. In 2015, it tried again (unsuccessfully) with Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller. They got another chance after Disney's $71 billion acquisition of Fox's entertainment assets in 2019. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' $118 million. 2. 'Superman,' $24.9 million. 3. 'Jurassic World Rebirth,' $13 million. 4. 'F1: The Movie,' $6.2 million. 5. 'Smurfs,' $5.4 million. 6. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer,' $5.1 million. 7. 'How to Train Your Dragon,' $2.8 million. 8. 'Eddington,' $1.7 million. 9. 'Saiyaara,' $1.3 million. 10. 'Oh, Hi!,' $1.1 million.
