Drew Barrymore Reunites With ‘Boys On The Side’ Co-Star Whoopi Goldberg Over 25 Years Later
“How it’s started vs. How it’s going!” Drew Barrymore captioned the photos she posted to her Instagram on Tuesday (Dec. 7), showing a still of her alongside Whoopi Goldberg from the film Boys on The Side and a photo taken from that day’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. Drew, 46, and Whoopi, 66, worked together on the 1995 comedy-drama, but as Drew said on the show, their friendship started long before that. “I have known Whoopi since I was eight years old,” said Drew. “We met on the set of The Color Purple.” “Yes, we did,” said Whoopi. Drew was visiting the film’s director, Steven Spielberg, met Whoopi, and a lifelong friendship was formed.
