Drew Barrymore says studio made her tone down Never Been Kissed look: 'Too unattractive'

Drew Barrymore reveals her 'Never Been Kissed' character is very 'toned down' from her original vision of Josie, which was changed after the studio told her the look was 'too unattractive'

Barrymore dropped the fun bit of trivia during an upcoming appearance on David Lascher and Christine Taylor's podcast, Hey Dude the 90s Called, telling them the version we see in the rom-com is very "toned down" from her original vision of the character. In the film, Josie is a young woman and copy editor — who has never had a real relationship and was considered a "geek" growing up — who gets assigned to report undercover at a high school. Naturally, everything worked out and it ended up being an iconic role of the star's, and Flower Films has gone on to produce many movies since.
