Why Drew Barrymore Felt a Responsibility to Lose 20 Lbs. for Santa Clarita Diet

Barrymore said in 2017 that her decision to lose weight came at a tough time, shortly after she and ex-husband Will Kopelman split.

“It came sort of in the middle of a moment in my life where I had sort of let myself go, due to personal circumstances,” she said on the Today Show at the time. “I thought, ‘I could come alive with Sheila,’ and it was a really great goal line for me, because I think as much as the weight loss, everything’s just really subtle.”

“It’s attitudinal, it’s empowerment, it’s confidence,” she added. “It’s all of these things, that’s she’s lost in her life, that I sort of felt like I had lost in my life, and it’s such a blessing to come alive with her. And it really was so positive for me.”

Barrymore and Kopelman have been co-parenting their daughters Frankie, 4, and Olive, 5, since their amicable split, and spent Christmas together.

The second season of Santa Clarita Diet drops on Netflix on March 23.
