On ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’, actress Drew Barrymore discussed her anxieties regarding her daughters, Olive and Frankie, potentially facing the pressures of early fame. Drawing from her own experiences as a child star, Barrymore expressed concern that modern children are granted ‘too much privilege, freedom, and access’ at a young age.

To mitigate these risks, Barrymore is maintaining strict boundaries. She noted that while her daughters have shown interest in acting, she is supporting them through school plays rather than immediate public exposure. She intends to ensure they have more maturity before entering the industry, suggesting any potential career moves would likely occur after the age of 13 or 14.
