(MENAFN- IANS) Los Angeles, Feb 4 (IANS) Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore has shared that she can't see herself paired up with a younger man.

During a "Drew's News" segment on the latest episode of 'The Drew Barrymore Show', the actress got candid about dating in a discussion with Ross Mathews and Food Network star Sunny Anderson, reports 'People' magazine.

"Can everybody remember that dating is supposed to be fun? You know, like, go out and just have fun”, said Mathews, 46, who married husband Wellinthon García in 2022.

Barrymore, 50, quipped, "Can you tell the men I go on dates with that? Because they have lost the memo. I love to, like, date from Psychos. I'm not kidding. I've had a bad run”.

As per 'People', Anderson, 50, asked Barrymore if she has "tried (dating), like, the 20-somethings?"

"You know what?", replied the '50 First Dates' star, "no, I'm totally grossed out by that. No, I have children and it seems wrong now”.

Barrymore has two daughters, 13 and 11, with ex-husband Will Kopelman. Anderson defended her dating hot take, sharing, "Well, you might have tried a 20-something and it didn't go well. I have tried the 20-somethings and it was fabulous”.

Mathews then said, "Can I ask a followup? When you were 'trying' stuff with a 20-something, what something were you? Were you a 30-something or 40?"

Anderson said, "I was 40-something. It was before my guy moved in. He knew I was having fun”.

"And you recommend it?", asked Mathews. She responded, "Yeah, because you don't care. Yeah. But if it's, like, real dating. I need to know, honey, before we go on the date, like where do you, I wanna know where you stand politically, I wanna know if you think that I have a right to make decisions for my own body. I do wanna know what TV shows you watch and why. I wanna know all the stuff I do. I wanna weed them out early”.

Drew Barrymore often opens up about her frustrations with modern dating on her daytime talk show, which is currently in its sixth season.
