Drew Barrymore Opens Up About A 'Cripplingly Difficult' Year

The hardest people to interview are those who have done a lot of interviews — and Drew Barrymore now interviews people for a living on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she breezily transitions from chats with celebs like George Clooney to extolling the virtues of air fryers.

So as I step onto the elevator of her New York City apartment building, I'm mentally reviewing what to ask for her new PEOPLE cover story — about her dating life (a topic she's gone viral for more than once), her movie career (please can we have Charlie's Angels 3?), her legendary family, and how she got her show on such a hot streak.
