In the world of Hollywood, it’s no secret that plastic surgery has become almost as common as coffee breaks. But Drew Barrymore? She’s not jumping on that bandwagon anytime soon. In a recent candid conversation with Glamour, the 43-year-old actress opened up about why she’s chosen to stay true to her natural self, both in terms of surgery and substance use.
Now, here’s the thing: Drew isn’t just saying this because it sounds good. She’s got some serious reasoning behind her decision. For starters, she’s got an “extremely addictive personality,” as she puts it. “I’ve never done heroin,” she admitted. “And I don’t want to get plastic surgery because I feel like they’re both very slippery slopes. I feel if I try either, I’m going to be dead really soon.”
Setting an Example for the Next Generation
But it’s not just about her own well-being. Drew is also a mom to two young daughters, Olive Kopelman, 6, and Frankie Kopelman, 4.

Now I can carry them out in an even more deep and profound way.”
Protecting Her Daughters from Hollywood’s Harsh Standards
Drew is well aware of the often unforgiving nature of Hollywood when it comes to aging and appearance. She doesn’t want her daughters to get caught up in the same cycle of judgment that many women face in the industry. “We’ve gone far too far with the whole thing, especially when people who are so young are doing it,” she remarked. Drew firmly believes that women her age shouldn’t feel pressured to alter their appearance through surgery. Instead, she encourages embracing natural beauty as it evolves over time.
Take, for instance, Drew’s dark circles under her eyes. While some might suggest a quick fix with Juvederm, Drew has a different approach. “I have dark circles under my eyes,” she shared, but that hasn’t swayed her decision. Instead, she prefers to highlight under her eyes with makeup rather than turning to injections. “Not messing with my face or chasing some unnatural beauty is a standard I live
