If there is anyone who knows the perils of growing up in the industry, it is Drew Barrymore. She has been a superstar since she was a child and grew up in a family where both her parents and grandparents were uber-famous in their generations. Barrymore has battled substance abuse and was smoking and partying in her early teens, so it was fitting that she sat down with Billie Eilish as they discussed the singer’s transition into adulthood while in the spotlight.
Eilish spoke with the actress-turned-talk show host on The Drew Barrymore Show, and during their virtual interview, the singer admitted that she has become less confident as she ages.

Eilish became emotional and added, “It‘s not fun right now so I’m trying to…I‘m figuring it out.” Check out the clip below.
