Drew Barrymore thinks she had ”amazing chemistry” with on-off boyfriend Justin Long in new film ‘Going The Distance’ and claims it is ”sexy” to keep their romance a mystery to other people.

Drew Barrymore thinks mystery is “sexy”.

The actress – who has refused to confirm reports she has rekindled her romance with Justin Long – thinks the natural chemistry between the pair on new movie ‘Going The Distance’ has made the film even better.

She said: “We never talk about when we’re together and when we’re not. It never, ever will be addressed. Mystery is sexy. But I definitely think it was a real benefit that we knew each other so well so the laughter was genuine and the struggles, we understand.

“It’s very rare for me to walk into a movie and have such an honest amazing chemistry with someone; that was such a blessing and a gift and I really felt lucky.”

The ‘Wedding Singer’ star also admitted she has experienced the pain of long-distance love – as depicted in the new film – but believes it is possible to make a romance work even when spending so much time apart.

She added in an interview with Australian newspaper Nine to Five: “I’ve been in long-distance relationships my whole life so I totally related to this as a woman. I know what I would want to make a long-distance relationship work, such as letters, surprising each other or making plans to do things that make you feel great and alive, and feel really special and think that you’re a part of this unit and it’s not a phantom thing.

“I think probably one of the real pitfalls of long-distance relationships, is the not knowing all the time and the inconsistency.”

DREW Barrymore says she “let loose” during her drunk scene for new movie Going The Distance.

The actress — who stars alongside on/off beau Justin Long in the flick — admits one of the highlights of shooting the romcom was having the chance to experiment with ways to act legless.

“One of the challenges that I was most excited about was doing the drunk scene,” explains Drew.

“Me and the director really focused on what type of drunk my character was and what we could adlib and what would be spontaneous. It was the most fun day at work ever, because I really just let loose.”

Drew recently revealed that she insists on people sending her letters.

“I still write letters, I don’t want to communicate in a relationship via text and email,” she said.

“I love a letter. You are thoughtful when you write it and someone can read it and hold onto it and go back to it.

“For me there’s something very dangerous to have everything so instantaneous.”

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore is not a fan of email, and prefers people to take the time to write her a letter instead. The Music and Lyrics star, who refuses to confirm speculation that she has again rekindled her romance with on-off boyfriend Justin Long, thinks it is more meaningful to
pen a note, instead of sending an email or other electronic communication, reports entertainment website

“I don’t want to communicate via email. You are thoughtful when you write it and someone can read it and hold onto it and go back to it,” Barrymore said. “For me, there’s something very dangerous to have everything so instantaneous.”

The 35-year-old star admitted that she listens to music in cassette tapes, use a typewriter and shoot movies on film rather than digitally. She pines for a time in the past, when people were more formal.

“There’s a part of me that misses the grace and formalities of the past, like when gentlemen wore hats and opened doors,” she says.

Hollywood star Drew Barrymore wouldn’t play a married character in a film because she doesn’t relate to it. The 35-year-old actress, who stars as a journalist in a long-distance relationship in Going The Distance, admits she likes doing romantic comedy movies, but only enjoys intelligent realistic representations of love, London Evening Standard reported.

“I need rom-coms at the end of a bad day – a nice happy ending and a fairytale. On the other hand I like movies that are very grounded in reality but still maintain their comedy,” she said.

“I’m not at a place in my life where I want to play a character who says, ‘I just have to get married!. “I swear to God, with some of these romantic comedies, these women are being shot in the butt with steroids, and I fell like they’ll eat the husband alive on their wedding day.

It just terrifies me,” Barrymore added.The actress, who is said to be in a relationship with her Going the Distance co-star Justin Long, also admits she likes the idea of exploring the difficulties of being a modern woman in a film.

“This movie asks the question: ‘How do you keep the job and the guy?’ That is a question I’m interested in discussing, not like, ‘I’m going to rip your hair out because you stole my wedding dress.’ I don’t care about that,” she said.

Going The Distance is released worldwide throughout September

Drew Barrymore has explained why she has been pictured with the word ‘Breathe’ written on her arm.

The actress said having it written there was a result of a recent two-week solo visit to India.

Speaking on David Letterman’s chat show, she said: ‘I was trying to remember the importance of everything and to keep breathing.

‘I want to remember everything I study, to keep up with my meditations and prayers.’

Talking about her journey, she said: ‘I was studying spirituality and religions and I explored different temples and walked barefoot through the streets. I went to Delhi. It’s a very spiritual, thoughtful place. People are so kind.’

‘It was a life-changing experience. I was looking for a shift of consciousness and I was very blessed.’

She also told how she took the ashes of her dog Flossy to India to scatter them in the River Ganges.

But she insisted: ‘I’m not one of those crazy neurotic dog people. I’m a cool girl.’

Drew Barrymore thinks people should only use twitter if they are funny and insists she will never join.

Drew Barrymore won’t join twitter.

The ‘Going the Distance’ actress has no interest in the micro-blogging site and admits she is an “old fashioned girl” when it comes to technology.

She said: “I know I’m an anomaly, I know everyone else is in love with it, but it’s not for me. I like people who use it for comedy to make people laugh.

“If people are making other people laugh and making jokes then that’s awesome.”

When pressed to try out the site by Absolute Radio DJ Geoff Lloyd, she refused, saying: “I’m an old fashioned girl.”

Drew’s ‘Going the Distance’ co-star and on/off boyfriend Justin Long believes the 35-year-old actress will stick to her self-imposed twitter ban.

He said: “She won’t join, I promise you she won’t.”

In a joint interview, he added to Drew: “Like as disparate as it is from your nature, I still feel like you would tweet some really funny things, you’d have some good entertainment.”

Drew – who refuses to confirm if she is in a relationship with Justin – previously claimed she thinks technology is killing romance.

She said: “I just don’t like this compulsive, instantaneous, over- information, lack-of-privacy, weirdo aspect of the world. If you meet someone, they already know everything.

“What about showing up on the date and saying, ‘What do you do for a living? Who are your friends?’ Yes, you can avoid maybe a serial killer, but who f***ing knows? I am a romantic and it scares me.”

DREW BARRYMORE insists men don’t need to splash the cash to impress her.

The 35-year-old, who has recently been in an on-off relationship with actor Justin Long, says she prefers her dates to be quirky and original rather than lavish.

The twice-married actress says: “I don’t need fancy, I just need clever.

“I love someone who is interested in art and film and going to movies and picking out a nice little restaurant. Someone who takes you out for tacos that you eat on the sidewalk.”

Drew appears alongside Long, 32, in her latest film Going The Distance. Having both been in the UK for the film’s premiere they were together at the V Festival in Chelmsford over the weekend.

With a new celebrity tell-all book coming out practically every week, it’s frighteningly not too hard to imagine the next of them being in the form of a coloring book. From “The Onion News Network”: “Drew knew that people would be dissecting every one of the 400 words in the book. She is not holding anything back here, and you’ll see that for yourself when you’re coloring in those pages.”
