"I didn't want to be on a film set asking the nanny how the kids were. I was like, that is not my journey. And so when you step away from it, it's a lot less scary," Barrymore said. The actor's most recent film appearance was in 2020's "The Stand In" following a five-year hiatus from movies. Barrymore, however, hadn't entirely stopped acting as she starred on Netflix's show "Santa Clarita Diet" for three seasons from 2017 to 2019. "I got to do at the perfect time, this like Netflix show called 'Santa Clarita Diet.' That was, I have to say, I was so knee-deep into mothering my kids. I was like, I don't know who I am anymore. I think I went way too far the opposite direction," she added. The actor said the show "saved" her because it happened at a time when she was going through a tumultuous phase in her life.
"It was just perfect and it was comedy and it was delicious and it was fun and it was irreverent and I couldn't have loved it more. And it really saved me," Barrymore said. "I had gained a lot of weight. I had lost my way. I was going through a really difficult divorce in that it just was the worst thing and everything I didn't want to happen. And that's what made it difficult. And that show was the greatest thing that could have ever happened to me," she added.
