Drew's 'Terrifying' Ability

Drew BarrymoreAs part of Hollywood royalty, Drew Barrymore can have virtually anything she wants. But what she wants may surprise you.

Drew tells the October issue of Elle magazine, "I want to be terrified. I really want to do what I think I'm going to f--king fail at miserably."

Well, in her new movie "Lucky You," Drew gets to do what she has feared for most of her adult life -- sing.

Drew's phobia stems from being the only cast member in Woody Allen's 1996 musical "Everybody Says I Love You" to be dubbed. An incident which Drew says "was really an unfortunate incident in my life."

For her latest role, the 31-year-old worked with a vocal coach for five months to play a Vegas lounge singer opposite Eric Bana. Having a boyfriend who just happens to be the drummer in The Strokes (Fabrizio Moretti) probably didn't hurt her musical abilities either.

In the article, Barrymore also opens up about recently losing 20 pounds, which she says has made her "more confident and adventurous" with her outfit choices.

And despite her sometimes questionable fashion risks, Drew says "I don' t regret those moments because they're kind of what define you."

Whether talking about fashion, singing or anything else, that's an attitude worth phoning home about!

17. Drew is a good girl,
She keeps it real...that should be enough.. a decent actress, I think comedy more than drama....it has been said, that she is one of the nicest people anywhere..... what's wrong with that?
And she is beautiful...........admit to it.....unless of course you are very insecure
If she wants to take lessons to sing....instead of being dubbed for a movie...go for it...and she has never hurt anyone... I like her......

20. Why? .Stephen.........
It's my guess that most people would rather make up BS about another person...
Major insecurity is my belief...they would rather speak untruths, about others to feel better.....about themselves.....Posts 16, 17, 18 hit it right on...and reality is .....she is a good person....she emits fun, laughter, and good energy.........she is really a good girl...gotta love her......
