Drew Barrymore Takes On Double Duty In Her New Movie 'The Stand-In'

Drew Barrymore Takes On Double Duty In Her New Movie 'The Stand-In'

Let’s talk about Drew Barrymore because this woman is bringing her A-game to her latest project. On a chilly February day in New York City, Drew was spotted filming scenes for her upcoming movie, The Stand-In. Now, here’s the kicker—Drew isn’t just playing one character; she’s tackling two completely different roles. At 43, she's proving that she's still got what it takes to keep us entertained. In the scenes captured so far, Drew sports a platinum blonde wig and dresses as a milkmaid, while also rocking a choppy brunette wig. These looks are part of her dual roles as Candy and Paula—two characters whose lives are deeply intertwined.

What's 'The Stand-In' All About?

In this quirky romantic comedy, Drew plays Candy, a washed-up movie star who finds herself in hot water after being booked for tax evasion. Instead of facing the consequences herself, she hires Paula, her stand-in, to do community service in her place. At first, the two seem to have a symbiotic relationship, but things take a dark turn when Paula decides she wants more than just a side gig. She takes over Candy's life, leaving her homeless and scrambling to reclaim her identity. It’s a story of betrayal, resilience, and ultimately, self-discovery.

Now, Drew isn’t one to shy away from a challenge, and she recently opened up about the demands of playing two distinct characters in The Stand-In. In an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Drew admitted, “This is a film where I play two people—it’s like stepping into a world of schizophrenia. Honestly, it’s the acting challenge of a lifetime, and I hope I rise to the occasion. I’ve got my work cut out for me, but I’m ready to dive in headfirst.”

    While Drew is no stranger to the spotlight, she’s made it clear that her priorities lie with her family. Despite her own success as a child actor, Drew has no plans to push her daughters, Olive Kopelman, 6, and Frankie Kopelman, 4, into the entertainment industry. In an interview with People, Drew shared her thoughts on the matter: “That’s simply not their journey. If they decide they want to pursue acting later in life, I’d be all for it. But can you imagine me as a mom pushing my kids into the limelight? No way. That’s not happening.”
