Actress Drew Barrymore says she will do less movies as she wants to focus more on motherhood.
The Charlie’s Angels star told Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie that she wants to be more present in her children’s lives.
“I think I will act less and less... I find the hours at this point in my life too difficult with kids, it’s hard to be present when you wake up before them and come home after they’ve gone to bed. That’s just not the way I want to have this journey with my kids at this point in their life. But maybe when they’re older, I will feel differently,” she said. Barrymore says her unconventional childhood has made her a more traditional mother to her two daughters, Olive and Frankie.
“I had a very untraditional upbringing, so I looked at it from afar and just thought, ‘Well that’s the exact opposite of how I’d want to raise my kids’. But it doesn’t make me bummed out that I didn’t have parents. It’s like, thank God that I didn’t, because maybe I wouldn’t be this aggressively excited about tradition and values and Christmas cards and Halloween costumes... And being so present,” she said.
