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.’

Added photos of Drew arriving at The Ed Sullivan Theatre yesterday for the David Letterman Show. Captures from the interview will be up later.

Actress Drew Barrymore seems to have a pretty good attitude towards dog ownership. Here, for instance, is the speech that she gives to all her dogs, upon acquiring a new canine: “Good afternoon. I’m not neurotic, nor will you be.” Interesting! And a little crazy, but still kind of a good speech.

Drew loves dogs, and has recently gotten a new one. Unfortunately, not everyone is as good with animals as she is. For instance, David Letterman kind of sucks with them, apparently. Which is what is revealed on ‘Late Show’ (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on CBS).

Ms. Barrymore is very excited about her new pet, who is named “Douglas,” and who has the same birthday as she does. (That date would be February 22nd, for the record.) But she also reveals that she recently lost a dog named “Flossie.” This particular dog lived until she was sixteen years old, then sadly passed away. Still, that’s a ripe old age for a dog. Drew reveals that she honored Flossie by taking some of her ashes to India — she put Flossie’s ashes in the Ganges river, considered to be one of the most sacred spots in the world. How sweet!

After Drew is finished telling this story, Dave reveals just how bad he is at the whole pet ownership thing. He rolls up his sleeve and shows the multiple nasty bites that he has gotten from his dog. Ouch! “Oh my God!” Drew says. Yeah. It seems that Dave isn’t quite as skilled with dealing with animals. But not everyone can be Drew Barrymore, and not everyone can give cute yet bizarre speeches to their pets.
