Drew Barrymore, 50, shrugs off ‘summer body’ pressure as she suns herself on family yacht vacation

BBG News

Draw Barrymore continues to exude an authentic, down-to-earth charm – evident even during her lavish yacht vacation.

The 50-year-old actress and chat show presenter was seen enjoying some quality moments with her two girls on a yacht in the South of France.

Instead of choosing the revealing bikinis popular among several celebrities, Drew selected a practical and stylish black one-piece swimsuit that accentuated her physique.

Or:

Rather than following the trend of flashy bikinis worn by many celebrities, Drew picked out a modest, figure-flattering black one-piece suit instead.

She enjoyed the ocean breeze along with her two daughters, Olive (age 12) and Frankie (age 11), who are her children from her former marriage with Will Kopelman.

While sailing near the French Riviera, Drew was spotted jumping into the sea alongside a woman companion.

Following her emergence from the water all wet, the star of Charlie’s Angels proceeded to dry herself using a towel wrapped around her midriff on the deck.

Drawing from the esteemed Barrymore acting lineage, initiated by the renowned trio of John, Ethel, and Lionel Barrymore, she adorned her one-piece with a ring and a timepiece.

To add a bold pop of color, the former child star opted for a subtle style using hot pink nail polish, keeping her overall makeup to a minimum.

Previously, Drew openly shared about battling self-awareness issues when donning a swimming costume.

Over the weekend, she joined her friends at the beach, and she exclaimed something along the lines of: “Oh, I’ll shed this shirt, jump into my swimsuit, and dash into the water. Then, you know, my legs will move like they’re rubbing against each other.” She demonstrated by mimicking the action with her hands.

She candidly shared on her daytime show that, while she’s not conceited, she’s still a woman and, like many others, has her own insecurities about her thighs, which resemble cottage cheese to her.

She shared, as a cheer erupted from Hannah Waddingham, that she had quickly grabbed her swimsuit from her bag and dashed off to the beach, with her body swaying freely in the breeze, and in that moment she felt: “I just don’t care anymore.

Her recent fun-filled time in the Mediterranean follows on from the acclaim she received from fans due to her genuine portrayal, as seen in a seldom-shared peek into her everyday life within her ordinary residence.

Instead of captivating fans with their grand and luxurious homes, Drew’s New York residence stands out for an unusual factor.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase it like this: I, as an observer of celebrity lifestyles, found it intriguing when the high-profile actress and talk show host, whose estimated net worth is a staggering $125 million, became a trending topic on TikTok. The buzz stemmed from a video she posted showcasing her cooking and organizing her seemingly ordinary home. Remarkably, many viewers were taken aback, expressing their surprise that an A-lister like Drew could reside in a house much like the ones they inhabit.

Draw, known for her earthy demeanor and recently displaying a tidied-up messy room, often garners compliments. In a recent social media post, she once more demonstrated her preference for avoiding the conventional glamorous lifestyle of celebrities.

The actress received praise for her humble abode, leaving numerous spectators astonished that a multimillionaire possessed such a compact kitchen – contrasting the assumption many held about Drew residing in an ostentatious, extravagant palace instead.

She captioned the viral video, which has so far amassed over 507,000 views,  ‘I love staying in.’ 

In my personal preference, I find the comfort of home irresistible. Contrary to popular belief, staying in isn’t monotonous; it’s a delightful escape from the bustle of the outside world. Today, as I whipped up a meal, experimented with new outfits, and savored each bite, I couldn’t help but appreciate the tranquility that enveloped me. Home sweet home, indeed!

‘This is far from dull; it’s quite exciting, actually. I’m a pretty contented recluse. Home is where I find my joy, and I can’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else.’

The video showed brief views of a house, this being the same one she had mentioned to the LA Times as lying somewhere between New York City and the Hamptons. She had moved from Los Angeles to the East Coast for the sake of her children, who were now living closer to their father, Will Kopelman.

People flooded the comments section and praised her for her humble abode.

‘The feeling you give off is as if you just purchased your first home and haven’t moved out yet; it exudes a warm and adorable charm.’

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. 

‘It’s great that she resides in an ordinary apartment, carrying out everyday activities and making the most of her life.’

‘I love how normal you are,’ said another user. 

Another person added: ‘I love that your house looks like a home and not just a show piece.’ 

In another video, Drew mentioned that she was reminiscing about the past by re-watching The Wedding Singer from her own residence.

Once again, she left fans open-mouthed in shock – this time over the ‘small’ size of her TV.  

Last month, Drew shared an honest look at her messy bedroom with her Instagram followers by posting a video that showed the room both before and after she tidied up.

Actress from “The Wedding Singer” was spotted recording herself on her mobile phone while providing a brief walkthrough of her expansive, messy bedroom filled with various belongings.

To start off, the talk show host, known for doing her own hair coloring at home, kicked things off with a nearly one-minute video. The opening had an automated voice saying, ‘Let’s see your space before and after you tidy it,’ to which she responded, ‘I’ll show you mine!’ in an enthusiastic manner.

To start, she strolled into a sizable room, passing a stack of boxes near a chocolate-hued armchair and ottoman, all the while expressing a weary expression toward the lens.

In a relaxed style, the mother of two prepared for her video recording, sporting a simple, mid-tone blue t-shirt. Her hair was styled with a middle parting, cascading freely beyond her shoulders.

Or more concisely: The mother wore casual attire, donning a plain blue t-shirt and mid-parted hair, letting it flow naturally past her shoulders for the recording.

Approaching her 50th birthday, the lone parent confessed to People magazine towards the end of last year in December, “Without a doubt, this past decade has been the finest of my life.

Instead of merely saying it was the most amazing, it was the one that made me feel as if I had vanquished more dragons in a single instance than I had throughout all my previous life.

Regarding the themes of positivity and joy, she commented, ‘When I was young, happiness appeared as an exuberant, cheerful optimism. It’s not just something that happens; it’s something you have to actively pursue. Sometimes it’s tough to attain, but when you do, achieving it feels like a truly satisfying triumph.’

2013 saw Drew parting ways with her enchanting 1937 Montecito, California mansion, fetching a sale price of $6.35 million. This figure was significantly lower than the initial asking price of $7.5 million.

In 2010, the actress who played Charlie’s Angels purchased a two-acre property for approximately $5.7 million. Since then, the value of this home has likely increased, allowing her to earn a substantial return when she eventually sells it.

I’m absolutely smitten by this stunning abode! It sprawls across a spacious 6,000 square feet, boasting a mind-blowing six bedrooms, seven full baths, and even a charming one-bedroom guest house to accommodate visitors. Simply put, it’s a dream home for any enthusiast like myself!

Following their departure from the mansion in 2013, it is said that Drew relocated to a Manhattan duplex alongside her husband Will Kopelman at that time. However, she continued to maintain a property in California as well.

In 2016, when they parted ways, Will relocated to New York and Drew joined him later on, maintaining their bond as a family unit, even though they were living apart, with the intention of minimizing any potential impact on their children.

Following her move, she has since kept the details of her properties private.
