Let me tell you something about Drew Barrymore—she’s not just an iconic Hollywood actress, but also a proud mom of two little ones who adore her work. In a recent chat with Good Morning America, Drew opened up about how her daughters, Olive Kopelman, who’s 6, and Frankie Kopelman, who’s 4, absolutely love watching their mom shine on the big screen. Imagine that—seeing your parent in all their movie magic glory!

From "Ever After" to "50 First Dates": The Movies That Make Mom Proud

Now, Drew’s kids aren’t just casually flipping through channels. They’ve got their favorites, and they’re not shy about it. “They love Ever After and 50 First Dates,” Drew joked to Robin Roberts. “It’s kind of strange because if anyone comes over and my movie is playing, I’m like, ‘I swear to God, I’m not that egotistical jerk.’” She went on to explain that her kids refer to these flicks as “mom movies,” and she couldn’t be prouder of her journey and the films she’s been a part of.

So proud of my girl. She is in the spirit for @beautycon And today is a celebration of expression and artistry. I have loved make up my whole life. Grew up in a make up chair. Worked with all the best make up artists in my day. Learned so much. Was co creative director of Covergirl for seven years and then started @flowerbeauty almost 8 years ago and launched @walmart where everyone could attain and afford what I put my heart into. Now we are also in @ultabeauty and entering new territories and a new era. I’m very proud today. It’s been a long challenging road to maintain this company and stay true to ourselves and yet keep evolving in this Wild Wild West of beauty right now! And the world is better for it. Men and women from everywhere are welcome in the beauty world. It is so inclusive and warrants you to be the superhero you are! So thank you for having us. And here’s to all the boys and and girls who want to be beautiful… just the way they are! Or with a little help from some bad ass make up!

Movie Preferences: The Goonies vs. E.T.

While Drew’s oldest, Olive, has seen her hit movie E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, she seems to prefer her mom’s role in the classic 1985 adventure The Goonies, which also stars Josh Brolin and Sean Astin. “Olive hasn’t really gravitated towards E.T. as much as I thought she would,” Drew admitted. “But I think she’ll get back into it eventually.” It’s fascinating to see how kids develop their own tastes, even when it comes to their mom’s movies, right?

A Career in Acting: Not for the Next Generation

As a successful Hollywood actress, Drew is thrilled that her kids enjoy her films. However, she’s clear about one thing—she doesn’t want them to follow in her footsteps as child actors. “I’m not going to let them be kid actors,” Drew revealed in a previous interview with People. “That’s just not their path.” It’s refreshing to hear a parent prioritize a normal childhood over the spotlight, isn’t it?

Before I left for Asia, I showed Olive where on the globe I was going. And now, at this moment, I came across an article by the great @anthonybourdain LINK IN BIO TO READ because it really moved me. It’s funny how we all arrange our travel. I came here for work, but on the off hours, I live for getting “local” and getting to know what a place is really like without the protection of the familiar. He has great tips and an even better philosophy. Take a moment to read his wisdom and style. It just might change your next life experience. #thailanddiaries

Learning the Ropes: Olive’s Adventures in the Entertainment World

Instead of pushing her kids toward acting, Drew is letting Olive experience the entertainment industry in a different way. “I just love that she likes to hang out with her mom. I enjoy having her around at my job, and I’m thrilled that she likes being there,” Drew shared on Instagram, alongside a sweet photo of her and Olive at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Looking at that picture, Drew couldn’t help but notice how much her daughter is growing up. “I look at this moment and think she’s getting so big!” It’s heartwarming to see a mom and daughter bonding over work, isn’t it?
