In the short clip shared on Instagram, the star is heard saying:"Whenever you can go out into the rain, do not miss the opportunity."Even though the video has a child-like innocence in it, many would be shocked to learn that Drew Barrymore had a tough life as a kid.Drew Barrymore was a child actress but had a very different lifeBarrymore started her career in the entertainment industry quite young. So young, that she does not even remember when. In her 2015 memoir Wildflower, the actress revealed that she appeared in an advertisement when she was 11 months old. However, she only rose to prominence at the age of five when she starred in Steven Spielberg's directorial film, E.T.After Drew Barrymore rose to fame following E.T., she and her mother, Jaid Barrymore, attended lavish parties every night in New York City's most exclusive clubs.While attending the Norm MacDonald show, Barrymore revealed that her mother was "more like a best friend:"“She was like, ‘Do you want to go to school and get bullied all day, or do you want to go to Studio 54?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, absolutely!’”Justin Emily Madison@JEM_SessionzIs Drew Barrymore the only childhood star to turn out normal?

The outlet also reports a crazy incident when, at the age of seven, Barrymore had an ice cream with Bailey's liqueur.In 1989, Drew told People Magazine:"Eventually [pot] got boring, and my addict mind told me, "Well, if smoking pot is cute, it'll also be cute to get the heavier stuff like c*caine." It was gradual. What I did kept getting worse and worse, and I didn't care what anybody else thought."Drew Barrymore@DrewBarrymore#sundaybuffet in honor of this musical weekend… I have always loved MUSIC, dancing and enjoying life!
