Drew Barrymore‘s kids have the sweetest name for her movies.
On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress revealed that her two daughters refer to her lengthy list of films as “mom movies” while chatting with Den of Thieves 2: Pantera stars Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr.
“I didn’t have that sort of family pride thing. And then I had these two daughters and I was like, I don’t want to be the parent that’s like, ‘Hey, kids. You know what we’re doing tonight? We’re watching one of my movies,'” Barrymore explained. “So, I had to let them find them on their own.”
“And then they started calling them ‘mom movies,'” she added. “They would say, ‘We’re gonna watch a mom movie.'”
Barrymore recently opened up about finding her daughter watching a “mom movie” with Adam Sandler‘s daughter during a November episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.
“My daughter and Adam’s daughter were watching [50 First Dates] at my house the other night. I was like, ‘Why are you guys watching this? Don’t you get enough of me and your dad?’” Barrymore recalled during the episode. “And they were just so happy. I was like, ‘Oh, but this is so sweet and wonderful.’”
Jackson Jr. shared a similar experience with his own daughter when she saw the Den of Thieves 2 poster at the movie theater.
“She flipped out seeing me on the wall,” he said. “I’m just like, ‘Yeah, you got a cool dad. I’ve been trying to tell you for years. These schoolyard girls don’t get it.’”
Butler, for his part, made his family sit down and watch him voice Santa Claus in the animated movie The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland when he went home for Christmas this year.
“I realized, they came to a couple of premieres, but we have never sat in the house and watched any of my movies in 20 years,” he said. “My mom wasn’t very well so she didn’t have a choice. She was in bed in the house so I made her watch it. I just forced it on her.”
“She slept through most of it,” he added with a laugh. “And then went, ‘Oh, that was great, son. That was great.’”
The Drew Barrymore Show airs on weekdays on CBS. You can check the website for local airtimes.
