DREW Barrymore & Boxing


DREW Barrymore has a new hobby — boxing!

The Whip It star tried her hand in the ring in a bid to get fit — and she found that she really enjoyed it.

“I went to a boxing class because I needed the exercise but I’m not athletic and really uncoordinated and lame,” says Drew. “But I found it so much fun.

“I had never boxed before but I was beating the crap out of the bag. I was so into it.”

Drew — who became a household name after starring in Steven Spielberg’s E.T. – recently revealed that despite finding fame and success at a young age, she has had “normal jobs”.

“I’ve been acting since I was 11-months old but I have had normal jobs too,” she said.

“I worked at a coffee house and I was terrible. And I mean, really terrible. My boss just hated me. I could see the resentment in his eyes every day. I was 14.

“I also worked at a Music Plus (store). I rocked at that job because I love movies and so anyone would come in and have just a vague idea of anything and I was like ‘I got it! I’m on it!’ I loved that job
