Barrymore, now 48, asked Spielberg to be her real father when she was just 7 years old, but he declined.
Steven Spielberg has been a father figure to Drew Barrymore since the filming of “E.T.”
After Spielberg told a 7-year-old Barrymore that he couldn’t be her real father, he agreed to be her godfather. The Oscar-winning filmmaker recalled feeling “helpless” over her“She was staying up way past her bedtime, going to places she should have only been hearing about, and living a life at a very tender age that I think robbed her of her childhood,” he told Vulture. “Yet I felt very helpless because I wasn’t her dad. I could only kind of be a consigliere to her.
The Barrymore acting “dynasty” moreso started with her grandfather, John Barrymore — who is thought of as one of the greatest Shakesperian actors of his time — along with his siblings Ethel and Lionel. “I didn’t want to burst the bubble,” Spielberg shared. “So I simply said, ‘It’s okay, E.T. is so special E.T. has eight assistants. I am the director, I only have one.”
