Steven Spielberg Felt Very Sorry For Drew Barrymore During ‘ET’

The difficult childhood of Drew Barrymore

An important film in Steven Spielberg’s impressive filmography, ET, the extraterrestrial (1982) marked an entire generation of moviegoers. The film features an alien landing on Earth. If the creature takes refuge in a suburban residence e befriends young Elliot, is also quickly hunted down by the army. Thanks to Spielberg’s talent, this “simple” story will have moved more than one.

On the side of the people involved, experience AND it was also important. It was really the second role of Drew Barrymorethen aged seven years when the film was released. The actress later had major roles in He shouted (1996), Charlie and his Charlie’s Angels (2000) or even The return (2007). However, her work with Steven Spielberg seems to have marked her a lot. AND the reason unfortunately is not so cheerful.

Drew Barrymore really did it he didn’t have an easy childhood. In her memoirs, she has already described her father as “a violent drunk“. The latter, the actor John Drew Barrymore who died in 2004, would even”thrown against a wall” when he was only three years old. He then tells in a portrait of vulnerability That Steven Spielberg era “the only parental figure I’ve ever had“. So much that would have he asked the director if it could be his father. The director could not answer him other than “NO“, before agreeing to be his”godfather“.

Steven Spielberg helpless during AND

Faced with this situation, Steven Spielberg was obviously wrong. Bad for not being able to do anything to help this child who, according to him, she was going through things that weren’t her age. Totally helplessin the end it might just be a “recommend” for her.

She stayed up long after bedtime. She went to places she should only hear about and she lived a life at an early age that she thinks robbed her of her childhood. However, I felt very helpless because I was not her father. I could only be a sort of advisor to her.

The director, however, tried to create the best possible environment for Drew Barrymore on set. In particular, he would have done everything to allow it believe that ET was a real alien and not just a puppet.

I didn’t want to destroy that illusion. So I just said, “ET is so special that he has eight assistants. I’m the director and I only have one assistant.

In addition to this little lie in order not to further ruin Drew Barrymore’s childhood, Steven Spielberg has been careful taking her to Disneyland or in him offering a cat named Gerti.
