Michael Douglas and Drew Barrymore go back.
The deadly attraction star, 80, and his eldest son, Cameron Douglas, 46, was guest on the Drew Barrymore Show episode on Wednesday, September 10th.
“I’m in a restaurant called Columbus, which is back in the early ’80s,” Michael began. “It was a really hot restaurant and a hot spot on the Upper West Side on Columbus Avenue.”

“And we’re heading there overnight. This waitress comes to serve me, and it’s this 11-year-old young woman,” he continued their first interaction.
He then recalls what Barrymore said at the beginning. “(She said) “Hello, can I help you?” I said, “Well, is that past your bedtime?” ”
Tween wasn’t the one who expected a basic instinctive actor to serve at a NYC restaurant, but he joked that Charlie’s Angels alumni were “incredible.”
Barrymore, whose mother was German actress Jade Barrymore and whose father was film director John Drew Barrymore, has been speaking out about her unconventional childhood for many years.

Michael went on to note that he met Cameron, which was the same facility the actress celebrated her 10th birthday, and now deprecated nightclub spotlight.
“Yes, oh, I was all in the club,” replied Drew. She also joked that she and Cameron “get into a lot of trouble” early on in those.
“And see where we are now! We’re so proud of both of us,” the 50 first date actress added.
“When I was younger, I really didn’t have any family. I was running around, clubbing with the waitress, working,” she explained.
The ET star added that when she grew older while she was “having the best time I’ve ever had,” she wondered, “What life do I want to build and participate?”

Speaking exclusively with people in April 2024, Drew, who began working in Hollywood at 11 months old, also reflected her past.
“I’ve been on the cover of people who show that I’m flawed and understand it. I’m trying to get my life back on track, that I’m getting married, that I’m getting married, that I’m doing something on this talk show, or that I’ve started a new effort with this talk show.
The actress who developed a drug addiction that began when she was 12 years old admitted that she had no advice for her younger self, as she “didn’t listen.”
“I think you know everything when you’re young and I was very stubborn and rebellious, so I wasn’t listening to advice, and whatever advice I got, I basically just did the opposite,” she told people, emphasizing that she wasn’t mad at her parents because of her past.
Now, as a mother, Drew instills all the life lessons he has learned from his two daughters, constantly reminding him of the importance of kindness and “seeking help.”
