Drew Barrymore Says Studio Told Her ‘You’re Looking Too Unattractive’ in ‘Never Been Kissed’ and ‘It’s Too Far’: ‘I Was Forced to Tone It Down’
Drew Barrymore says the studio asked her to dial back her "Never Been Kissed" performance and called her "too unattractive" in the film.
Barrymore explained that she agreed to tone back her performance as Josie only when the studio “said something that appealed to my sensibilities rather than my ego,” which was the following: “We don’t want you to lose the heart because you’re going so far for the comedy.” She headlined the rom-com opposite David Arquette, Michael Vartan, Leelee Sobieski, Jeremy Jordan, Molly Shannon and John C. Reilly. “A likable romantic comedy with an engaging premise and strong cast, ‘Never Been Kissed’ looks set to further the winning ways of its star, Drew Barrymore,” reads Variety’s review.
