Drew Barrymore recently invited some of her original “Scream” castmates onto her talk show ahead of the “Scream 5” movie release on January 14. Barrymore even teased a trailer on Twitter of Ghostface calling her while on the set of “The Drew Barrymore Show.” Neve Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox reminisced and caught up on each other’s lives before Barrymore revealed that she went through some personal drama while filming the movie.
When the actor starred in the original flick in 1996, she was just 21 years old and turned to the “mature, safe person” Courteney Cox in her moment of crisis. “We became so close Courteney,” she began (via Hello!). Barrymore continued, “I remember at the poster shoot I was like having a nervous breakdown because I was having a false sense of being pregnant.” She had one burning question for Cox on that particular day, “I kept asking you, ‘How do you know if you’re pregnant? Like, I’m freaking out! We’re supposed to shoot this poster, but oh my god, I just started dating somebody! How do you know?'” Cox laughed and replied, “I was the older one and I was the right person to ask.” At the time, Cox was 32 years old.
Barrymore would wait an additional 16 years before welcoming Olive in 2012, and then Frankie in 2014. It’s little wonder that she’s so protective of them after waiting for them for so long.
