Drew Barrymore has once again demonstrated her refreshing normality – even while indulging in a luxury yacht holiday.
The 50-year-old actress and talk show host was spotted spending quality time with her two daughters on a yacht off the South of France.
Eschewing the skimpy bikinis favored by a battery of other celebrities, Drew opted for a sensible black one-piece that flattered her figure.
She was soaking up the sea air with her daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, whom she shares with her ex-husband Will Kopelman.
As the swank vessel drifted in the waters off the French Riviera, Drew could be seen leaping into the ocean with a female friend.
After she emerged dripping wet from the water, the Charlie’s Angels star dried herself off on deck with a towel wrapped around her waist.
After leaving fans astonished at her ‘modest’ house, Drew Barrymore has once again demonstrated her refreshing normality – even while indulging in a luxury holiday
Drew – who hails from a legendary acting dynasty begun by siblings John, Ethel and Lionel Barrymore – accessorized her one-piece with a ring and a watch.
Jazzing up the understated look with hot pink nail polish, the former child star went for a minimalistic look where makeup was concerned.
Last year, Drew candidly discussed having to grapple with feelings of self-consciousness while wearing a swimsuit.
‘This weekend, I went to the beach with my girls and I just was like: “Ugh, I’m gonna take off my shirt and then I’m gonna be in my bathing suit and I’m gonna run into the water, and my thighs are gonna go like this,»‘ she said, miming them rubbing together.
‘I’m not vain but I’m still a woman, I’m still normal, I still have the same thoughts about my cottage cheese thighs,’ she confessed on her daytime series.
‘So I got up and I literally pulled my swimsuit out of my butt, and I ran to that beach – literally, my body just swinging in the wind – and I thought: «I just don’t care anymore,»‘ she said, to a roar of approval from her guest Hannah Waddingham.
Her current Mediterranean frolic comes after she was praised by fans for her authenticity in a rare glimpse she shared inside her ‘normal’ home.
While celebrities regularly dazzle fans with their opulent and lavish properties, Drew’s New York home is drawing plenty of attention for a very different reason.

The actress and talk show host – who has an estimated net worth of $125 million – went viral on TikTok after she shared a clip of herself cooking and tidying up her home as viewers claimed they didn’t know it was ‘possible’ that an A-lister like Drew could live in a ‘normal house.’
Drew – who recently showed off a transformation of her messy room – is frequently praised for her down-to-earth attitude and in a recent post on the social media app, she offered up yet another example of how she shies away from the stereotypical celebrity lifestyle.
The actress was applauded for her ‘modest’ home, with many viewers voicing their surprise that the multi-millionaire had such a ‘small’ cooking space – while others admitted that they had expected to see Drew living in a much more over-the-top mansion.
She captioned the viral video, which has so far amassed over 507,000 views, ‘I love staying in.’
As she cooked, tried clothes on, and showed herself eating the background audio said: ‘I like staying in. I know everyone thinks it’s boring but it’s really not.
‘It’s the least boring thing. I’m a really happy little hermit. I love being at home . I never want to go anywhere.’
The video featured glimpses of her home, which she previously told the LA Times was in between New York City and the Hamptons, having relocated from Los Angeles to the East Coast so that her children could be closer to their father, her ex Will Kopelman.
People flooded the comments section and praised her for her humble abode.

One person said: ‘You give off the vibes of you bought your first apartment and you are still there, so wholesome and cute.’
Someone else added: ‘Is it possible that you live in a normal house?!’
Another person commented: ‘Wait, you don’t have a chef?’
‘I just love how simple but sophisticated you live,’ wrote another user.
Another user added: ‘I love that fact that she lives in a regular apartment doing normal things and just living her best life.’
‘I love how normal you are,’ said another user.
Another person added: ‘I love that your house looks like a home and not just a show piece.’
In another video, Drew shared she was taking a trip back in memory lane by watching the Wedding Singer at home.
Once again, she left fans open-mouthed in shock – this time over the ‘small’ size of her TV.
Last month, Drew got candid with her Instagram followers and uploaded a video showing a rare glimpse of her messy bedroom ‘before’ and ‘after’ she cleaned it.
‘So I got up and I literally pulled my swimsuit out of my butt, and I ran to that beach – literally, my body just swinging in the wind – and I thought: «I just don’t care anymore,»‘ she said

As she neared the age of 50, the single mother admitted to People late last year in December that, ‘this has been the best decade of my life, without question’
On the topic of positivity and happiness, she added, ‘As a kid and even in my 20s and 30s, happiness seemed like this very giddy, excited optimism’
The Wedding Singer actress could be seen filming herself using her phone camera as she gave a quick tour of her spacious bedroom that was cluttered with numerous items.
The talk show host, who also revealed that she dyes her own hair at home, began the nearly minute-long reel with an automated voice over that stated, ‘Show me your room before and after you clean it,’ followed by, ‘I’ll go first!’
She began by walking through the entrance of the spacious room and walked past a tower of boxes that were placed next to a brown chair and matching ottoman while giving an exasperated look towards the camera.
The mother-of-two was dressed casually to film the clip and donned a plain, blue T-shirt while her hair was parted in the middle, allowing her locks to fall down naturally past her shoulders.
As she neared the age of 50, the single mother admitted to People late last year in December that, ‘this has been the best decade of my life, without question.’
‘It wasn’t just the most awesome, it was the one where I feel like I’ve slayed more dragons than I ever have in my whole life.’
On the topic of positivity and happiness, she added, ‘As a kid and even in my 20s and 30s, happiness seemed like this very giddy, excited optimism. It is a choice. You have to work for that. It is hard to get to some days. And so when you’ve harnessed it, that feels like such a better victory.’
In 2013, Drew sold her 1937 country estate, located in beautiful Montecito, California, for $6.35million, which was well below the asking price of $7.5million.
She now regards happiness as a ‘choice’ that one has to ‘work for’
The Charlie’s Angels star bought the two-acre home in 2010 for $5.7 million dollars, so she was able to walk away with a sizable profit.
The traditional home is six thousand square feet, has six bedrooms, seven and a half baths and an additional one bedroom guesthouse.
After moving from the mansion in 2013, Drew reportedly moved on to Manhattan duplex with her then-husband Will Kopelman while still having a California space.
When they split in 2016, Will moved to New York and Drew followed so that they could ‘carry on as a family’, despite being separated – adding that she didn’t want it to affect her kids.
Following her move, she has since kept the details of her properties private.
