Barrymore’s admission comes two years after a conversation with singer Christina Aguilera, where they discussed their experiences as members of the mile-high club.

Kaley Cuoco was surprised during the conversation.
The actress also expressed interest in trying out “smooch cabins” set to be installed on German trains. “Yeah, of course I would do this!” she stated.
She encouraged a bold approach to life, suggesting, “While you’re alive, why not try everything? Especially if it’s not hurting anyone!”
Drew Barrymore joked about the experience with the audience.
Barrymore emphasized that her advice pertains to experiences that do not harm others: “When I say please try everything, I mean please try everything that doesn’t hurt someone else.” Her candidness continues to resonate with fans.
