Drew Barrymore talks about how she joined the mile-high club
Things got spicy on Monday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show when she picked up a ping-pong paddle and faced off against The Big Bang Theory alum Kaley Cuoco. Whoever lost a round had to spill the tea on a cheeky question. When Barrymore was asked if she’d ever joined the mile-high club, she didn’t dodge; she simply nodded. Cuoco instantly laughed, calling her a “wild child (via EW).”
A blushing Barrymore then casually dropped “American Airlines,” which sent the audience into full meltdown mode. As Cuoco and co-host Ross Mathews pushed for details about the in-flight logistics, Barrymore coolly said, “No, it worked well.” She confirmed it all went down in the airplane bathroom, then looked at the crowd in mock horror and joked, “Did I say that out loud?” she quipped.
Kaley Cuoco may headline a high-flying thriller like The Flight Attendant, but she has not tried the particular trend. As for Drew Barrymore, she has spoken openly about it. During a 2024 episode of her show, she talked with Christina Aguilera about the experience. She said it feels different from what people might think and described it as a kind of “elevation.” Barymore explained that people may be curious because it’s not the same as usual. She also joked that she would recommend it, even if aviation authorities might not approve.
In another 2024 episode, Barrymore reacted to reports about “smooch cabins” planned for German trains. She said she would try it and believes in experiencing things while you’re alive, as long as no one is harmed. She later clarified that her view applies only to situations that are safe and do not harm others.
