‘Dirty bird’ Drew Barrymore defends ‘boring’ sex life: I’ve ‘done everything’

Self-proclaimed “dirty bird” Drew Barrymore has “done everything” in the bedroom.

The actress told her “Drew’s News” podcast listeners on Friday that she is currently only “dirty … in the corners of [her] mind.”

She joked, “I never will tell, and it’s just for me.”

The “Drew Barrymore Show” host, 47, did, however, tell her podcast guest Ross Mathews about her daring sexual history.

“I can understand certain kinky things,” she said. “Listen, I’ve tried everything. I’ve done everything — that’s why I’m so boring now.”

Barrymore clarified that she isn’t sure whether she “was into” everything, saying, “I just wanted to try.”

The “50 First Dates” star added, “Those days are long gone. Back when I was younger, I had all the energy in the world. But now, no.”

Barrymore was married to Will Kopelman from 2012 to 2016 and has not had an intimate relationship since their divorce.

“I’m not a person who needs sex and has to go out there and engage with people on that level,” the Golden Globe winner revealed in an October blog post.

“I am someone who is deeply committed to fostering how young girls, my daughters, and myself as a woman, are supposed to function in this world,” she continued, referencing daughters Olive, 10, and Frankie, 8.

The previous month, Barrymore was not impressed by Andrew Garfield’s six-month celibacy confession — saying she could go “years” without sex.

As for her ex-husband, Kopelman moved on with Alexandra Michler in 2020. The art consultant, 44, proposed in January 2021, and the couple wed seven months later.

While Kopelman and Barrymore have put on a united front over the years, even trick-or-treating together last year, the Emmy nominee spoke on the hardest part of co-parenting in March.

“You miss them when you’re apart because that wasn’t the plan,” the “Santa Clarita Diet” alum told Parents magazine.

However, she acknowledged that she and Kopelman do “get a day off.”
