Drew Barrymore is one of the most successful women working in Hollywood today. She’s been an A-list actress since she was a toddler, and has starred in some of the biggest blockbusters of her generation.
The one, and arguably only area, where Drew comes up wanting is the romance department . But after recently receiving some sage dating advice from her old pal, George Clooney, her opinions on life and love are beginning to change.
Drew Barrymore has long been considered to be America’s sweetheart.
Drew epitomizes the idea of “the girl next door.” She’s sweet, funny, friendly, and one of the most down-to-earth celebrities that’s currently working in Hollywood today. In short, she’s awesome and we love her.
Ironically enough, love has always been the one thing that seems to evade Drew.
Drew divorced LA bar owner, Jeremy Thomas, after two months of marriage; comedian Tom Green after less than a year, and was hitched to actor Will Kopelman for just shy of four years .
During a recent episode of ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’, the hostess had an impromptu therapy session with the Oscar-winning actor.
Drew and George are actually old friends. They appeared opposite one another in the 2002 comedy/biopic, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind , which George also directed himself.
“I lied down on the floor and, you know, he was ‘Doctor George,'” Drew joked to ‘ET’.
“And I feel like George is the kind of person who also doesn’t have a wall up and I don’t have a wall up.”
Drew remarked on the similarities between talking to a friend who’s pretending to be a therapist and speaking with an actual doctor.
She spoke about how easy it was to lower her guard and that the two of them were able to dive right into the deep end of Drew’s emotional ocean.
Drew went on to talk about how George has become a role model for her in the romance department.
“For me, looking at him and the way that he kind of held out for the right one is really good dating advice for all of us ,” she said.
During their conversation, Drew also dredged up the question that’s been on everyone’s mind.
Drew wanted to know if George decided he no longer wanted to be single or if it was Amal who helped to change his perspective.
“I feel like with an Amal, it’s kind of a no-brainer, it was definitely her,” Drew told ‘ET’.
Drew talked about how George gave her some insight into his courtship process, as well as some of the things that he and Amal still do to keep their romance alive.
According to Drew, George and Amal have an almost old-fashioned style of love, one that carries over into their parenting.
“I just, I think they’re such an amazing couple because they’re going to share with the world what is inside of them and they’re going to make the world a better place ,” Drew said with confidence.

“They’re not just holding onto it for themselves and each other, that’s what blows me away about their partnership.”
Clearly, whatever George and Amal are doing behind closed doors is working, as the couple recently celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary.
Despite George’s shining example, Drew remains adamant that she will never get married.
Then again, if Hollywood’s former most eligible bachelor can change his stripes, perhaps there’s hope that in time Drew can do the same . If not, at least she’ll always have a good therapist and an even greater friend.
