Let’s talk about family legacies for a moment. Drew Barrymore, the Hollywood icon whose career has spanned decades, recently opened up about whether or her daughters might follow in her footsteps. And honestly, it sounds like she’s all for it—when the timing’s right, of course.
Her Kids Have That Barrymore Spark
In a recent chat with Us Weekly, Drew, now 47, shared how her daughters Olive, 6, and Frankie, 4, are already showing signs of thespian talent. "They’re very theatrical," she said. "There’s definitely a strong Barrymore gene running through both of them. But beyond that, they’re funny, cool, adventurous, and they absolutely love coming to set. It’s like they were born for it!"

Supportive But Protective
When Drew welcomed Olive and Frankie with her ex-husband, Will Kopelman, she initially thought she’d want to shield them from the acting world altogether. "When they were born, I was like, ‘Oh no, I don’t want you to be actresses,’” she admitted. “But what I realized is that my main concern isn’t about acting—it’s about childhood. If they were to get into acting at the right age, I’d be their biggest supporter. I’d fight tooth and nail for them. But I just want them to experience a normal childhood first."
Drew continued, “Now I feel like, ‘If you want to dive into theater in high school or pursue it as a career later, I’m all in. I’m your fiercest cheerleader.’ It’s all about balance, you know?”

Following Their Own Passions

They’re both incredible builders, and honestly, it’s so cool to watch them explore their passions outside of acting.”

A Mom’s Pride
And let’s not forget—Drew’s kids are huge fans of her work. “They absolutely adore movies like Ever After and 50 First Dates. It’s funny because whenever someone comes over and one of my films is playing, I feel compelled to explain, ‘I promise, I’m not that egotistical,’” Drew joked during a Good Morning America interview with Robin Roberts.
“But seriously, they call these ‘mom movies,’ and they genuinely enjoy watching them. It makes me so proud of who I am and everything I’ve accomplished,” she added.
