What happens when you put actresses Amanda Peet and Drew Barrymore in the same room at Carrie Fisher’s house? Apparently an A-list makeout session!
“I miss the eighties. By the way, speaking of, did we make out at Carrie Fisher’s house?” Barrymore, 51, asked Peet, 54, while reminiscing about their past rendezvous during the Monday, April 6, episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.
“I … feel like that might have happened,” Peet responded while smiling.
Barrymore grabbed the Your Friends & Neighbors actress’ hand, leaned forward and cheekily told Peet, “It’s so nice to see you again.”
Many actors have had to perform romantic scenes with their costars, and some of their partners have voiced their discomfort with the results. Kristen Bell got a lot of praise for her on-screen chemistry with Nobody Wants This costar Adam Brody. Her husband, Dax Shepard, had other thoughts. “We watched that scene together, the kissing […]
As Peet laughed over the Hollywood moment, Barrymore shed a little more light on the encounter.
She explained that the late Star Wars actress, who died in 2016 at the age of 60, was known for her iconic parties, and this one in particular had a Friends alum in attendance.
“I feel like Matthew Perry was there?” Barrymore said.
“Yes, he was!” Peet enthusiastically replied.
Barrymore exclaimed, “It was at Carrie Fisher’s house!” hinting that all of her bashes were as memorable as the one in which she and Peet shared a smooch.
“Listen, again, life used to be so much more fun,” Barrymore said with a laugh.
After Peet asked if they both felt like the past was more fun because they’d gotten older, Barrymore mused, “There is that. I guess maybe you also grow out of that kind of behavior?”
The talk show host noted that growing up comes with the territory “especially when you become a parent,” adding, “That changed me entirely.”
Peet, who recently revealed her breast cancer diagnosis, joked, “I’m still probably messy and silly,” before agreeing that “yes” parenthood does change one’s perception.
Monday’s episode wasn’t the first time that the Never Been Kissed actress gushed about the wild nights she enjoyed at one of Fisher’s infamous parties.
Mwah! Puckering up on camera is a major part of many celebrities’ careers — and some stars were fortunate enough to have good kisses from the start. Taylor Swift, for example, ended up in a relationship with the boy who smooched her for the first time. “I was one of the last of my friends […]
Two years after Fisher’s passing, Barrymore revealed she was “glad” she survived all the events she was invited to at the late star’s lavish home.
“I loved going to her house. It was like a hacienda type of, like, beautiful home off of Coldwater Canyon, very Los Angeles,” Barrymore recalled during a 2018 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “She just had a very open home. I’d been there for parties, her office in the daytime. It was classic, Spanish, California — sunshine, orange groves, and creativity.”
Looking back, Barrymore confessed she was “proud to say I came and went, because I feel like a lot of people stayed.”
She revealed, “I remember Garry Shandling being weird in the driveway. And I was like, ‘I’m so glad I’m going home! I’m so glad I’m surviving these kind of nights.’”
