‘It can’t come soon enough!’

Hitting half a century “can’t come soon enough” for Drew Barrymore.

The talk show host told — you guessed it — AARP The Magazine: “It can’t come fast enough. I feel like Frodo. I see that brass ring and I’m so excited!,” she said, comparing herself to the “Lord of the Rings” character .

She added: “I have no problem with ageing. This is the happiest I’ve been in my life.”

Barrymore is apparently celebrating her upcoming milestone by gracing the February/March 2025 cover of AARP. The former child star’s journey to the big 5-Oh has not been without problems. In the issue, she opens up about her decision to renounce alcohol, men and acting.

Her 2016 divorce from Will Kopelman, for example, felt like “my dream family falling apart,” she said.

“I didn’t know how to put one foot in front of the other — and I’d grown up so fast — but now I didn’t know what age to feel,” she said, adding, “I just knew that my life was heavy, and painful, and sad… In the end, thank God, I lifted myself out of it. I had two kids, and I had to figure it out.”

Barrymore and Kopelman share daughters, Olive, 12, and Frankie, 10, who, she says, are encouraging her to jump back into the dating pool.

“My girls say I should go on dates, but I also know how I felt when I was little, when I was men. It didn’t feel safe to me, so I’m probably too careful with those experiences,” she said.

Barrymore turns 50 on February 22, and she’s more grateful than ever. “I never thought I would feel peace. Thank you 50. Thank you, AARP!,” she said.
