DREW BARRYMORE IN NYLON'S DENIM ISSUE

The sunny superstar has really good jeans.


Drew Barrymore is everyone's golden girl, and not just because of her amazing blonde hair.  The actress and producer made a string of movies we can watch on 24-hour repeat (Never Been Kissed, Whip It, Grey Gardens...), and she still has time to star in the Cover Girl commercials.

Our beauty director, Holly Siegel, sat down with Drew in Los Angeles...

On Being Perfect
"You have to not pretend to be perfect, because that's not only boring as fuck, but it's just not real...So I feel so liberated in that way. I just really want to be true to myself. That's essential in life. I would never be able to put on a charade. I would totally fuck it up."

On her In-Between Period
"I had a big gap in my life where I wasn't allowed to work at all because no one would hire me, which was great because I think you need that humility. You have to have everything taken away, or you have to have a major reality check, so that you always appreciate what you have."

On Simulating Phone Sex in her New Movie, Going the Distance.
"You know, phone sex going awry is just a funny concept to me and I thought, This is going to be one of those scenes where we have to go balls out, and if it doesn't work, it's going to be editing room floor crap."

So Drew, where'd you get your jeans?
"I never have time for shopping... I've been wearing the same fucking pair of jeans for 10 years."

See more Drew in the August issue... And if you subscribe to NYLON, you get all your issues early!

She looks homeless! I don't rate her at all. I'm sorry what is appealing about her? The only thing i really like are her past movies and her being a director. Did you guys forget she was on drugs?

thanks nylon for putting a womanon the cover and not a young girl. Nylon cover girls should be role models, who have been through things in their life....not girls who are too young and hard to relate to....what about marion cotillard??? emily haines??

@Josie so because she fought - and WON - an addiction, she's not a role model?! People should never be held back by their past, as long as they take what they've experienced and use it to help others! Hello, JESUS said that!

Faran

Wow. I think even if you're not into Jesus, you should believe in second chances, and being able to grow as a person. She seems to be an amazing example of that. Also, I was excited we shot Drew because she is my hair icon. Just saying.

yes! i love drew B! she is absolutely amazing. @Josie clearly you are the only person who seems to have a problem with her...

I love love love Drew. A wonderful cover choice Nylon, next up you should feature Liv Tyler again, she's my all time idol! xo

Camille

First off all, what's with the potty mouth? Seriously Drew.. not attractive. Speaking of unattractive, what is she wearing?! This outfit makes her look dirty & reminds me of Ke$ha minus the glitter. I was disppointed with last month's issue and I've been disppointed again.

Get your head Camille out of your ass. Drew is real and down to earth and saying fuck is no big deal. Fuck is just a word like shit, dam, hell, bastard, bitch, pussing. Get it. I wonder how many times you say these words a day. Get off your high horse and take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Drew has gone through some really hard times in her life, and she proved to herself that you can start all over and get it right. That's just what she did. Drew keep it real and I love you and your movies.

I need to find a place that sells NYLON, because I love Drew. The photos look great and I love that hat that Drew is wearing in the first picture.

she's seriously in icon to me. i loved whip it. it inspired me to do my own thing. she's gorgeous AND super talented. what more could you want? no one's perfect, especially celebrities, and i'm glad she's embracing that and using it to just be herself. that's real beauty :D

I love Drew. She can do no wrong in my eyes. She has an everlasting quality that never taints.

JB

She was on drugs, but it's not anymore. At least of what I know. She is a real example of what overcoming things is about. She has talent and personality. So what is she doesn't look good on the clothes or is not appealing, what counts is the person. If Lindsay recovers herself one day, she can be the new Drew. Of course, Drew is better. But if Drew did it, we all can do it. So far the best cover of the year <3

drew barrymore. i love that in the interview she totally real. and the fact that she doesnt give a fuck**. my favorite part is that she says that shes had the same paor of jeans for 10 years. awesome.

@Courtney just sign up for a year subscription. no need to find a place that sells Nylon. you wont regret it. even if you dont like the headline articles or some of the celebs that are praised there's ALWAYS a good drink of the month that can get your mood off of your disappointment :)

Casey

Definitely one of your best covers in a while. Drew seems like such a cool, down to earth chick, and the fact that she's been trhough so much and come out like this only makes her that much more awesome.

Josie, Your are a true humanitarian. I see her success as a heroic achievement especially because of her ability overcome the drug-addiction largely brought on by the lack of competent parents. By the way, she is an unembellished beauty.

I love these pictures! You can see her personality in them. The thing I love about Drew is that she's a normal person as opposed to a Hollywood star stereotype. She's relateable, and I think that's why she has so many fans.
