Drew Barrymore won’t spend Valentine’s Day, February 14, with her boyfriend.
The 34-year-old actress, who is rumored to be engaged to actor Justin Long, tries to be a loving girlfriend every day and so doesn’t want to turn the romantic festival into a big occasion, opting to spend it with her single pals instead.
She explained, “I don’t really think about it very much other than just to be with the people you love. I don’t think I’ve ever done that really conventional romantic thing.
“I like being with my friends and having a fun time. I feel so bad when that holiday makes people feel really bad, it’s not fair.”
The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star, who recently made her directorial debut with ‘Whip It!,’ also spoke about her love of filmmaking, saying the best part of being behind the cameras is finally feeling able to put across her true self.
She told Self magazine, “Just being able to convey my own human heart into a cinematic venue. I just wanted to talk about family and life and love and friendship, and trying to find your way into empowerment in life in a way that’s also fun and funny. For me, it’s just really trying to express myself into a film.”
Drew sparked speculation she and Justin, who she has been dating for two years, were planning to marry after her relationship status on her Facebook page was reportedly changed to ‘Engaged’.
