Drew Barrymore has acknowledged that her previous involvement with Playboy now poses challenges as a parent. During a discussion with Christina Aguilera on her talk show, Barrymore confessed that her daughter has referenced her Playboy past when discussing what she’s allowed to wear, citing her appearance on the magazine’s cover as a reason to wear a crop top. Barrymore, who shares two daughters with her ex-husband Will Kopelman, recounted the scenario with Aguilera.
Aguilera, in turn, shared her own experience with her daughter, Summer, expressing interest in wearing crop tops. Despite the challenges, Aguilera emphasized the importance of allowing her daughter to freely express herself, drawing parallels between self-expression and empowerment, whether it’s through wearing chaps or posing for Playboy.
Barrymore’s Playboy cover, which featured her at 19 years old, depicted her in a white T-shirt with the magazine’s iconic black bunny emblem, paired with lace pink underwear. Reflecting on her decision to pose for Playboy, Barrymore expressed that at the time, she felt empowered and was reclaiming her sense of freedom and self-discovery.
In a previous conversation with Natalie Portman, Barrymore defended her choice to pose for Playboy, highlighting her journey of self-discovery and embracing her wild side. She emphasized that at the time, she was enjoying the experience and had no regrets, though she didn’t anticipate becoming a parent later in life.
