Hollywood star Drew Barrymore sees her colleague Cameron Diaz as a “soul mate”. “She is my mirror, my better self. I’ve never felt such a connection to a person before,” Barrymore (47) told “Bild am Sonntag” on the occasion of Diaz’s 50th birthday on Tuesday. “It’s a gift to have that woman in my life.” The two actresses made the Charlie’s Angels movies together.
The friendship between the two apparently knows no bounds. “Cameron has my house key, she waters my flowers when I have to go away. She is babysitter and lifesaver for me. Cam was there when I was down, held my hand at my worst moments, we partied at my best moments,” Barrymore said.
They met each other in the 80s. “I was 14 and working in a cafe, she was 16 and had started modeling. She came into the business and we became friends.” As mothers, they have the same problems. “These are full-length topics.” But both also like to travel. “We’ve been to Hawaii, the Hamptons, South America and the Caribbean together. We even sleep in the same bed,” Barrymore said.
Barrymore said Diaz helped her act more sustainably. “I no longer use plastic bags for Cameron. And when I brush my teeth, I don’t leave the water running either.”
