Drew Barrymore's stripophobia
Published July 20, 2003
The 28-year-old actress told German magazine InStyle that having to strip for Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle brought back memories of failing miserably during an attempt at a sexy striptease for an old boyfriend. She said: "To be honest I was a bit afraid of shooting the erotic strip scene. When I was younger and the movie 9 1/2 Weeks was out at the cinema, my boyfriend asked me to do a little strip for him. "I did my best but failed miserably. No wonder the relationship ended soon afterwards. I then swore I would never to try to do that again. But this film helped me to get over it."
Two points to note here, assuming Drew's recollection is accurate:
1) 9 1/2 Weeks came out in 1986, when Drew would've been eleven. Who the hell was her boyfriend then and what the hell would he have been doing asking a pre-pubescent girl to do a strip tease?
2) How come she didn't have any trouble flashing Dave Letterman when she was on his show about ten years ago?
