Drew Barrymore reveals unexpected way she joined the mile high club that 'worked well'

Drew Barrymore reveals unexpected way she joined the mile high club that 'worked well'

Barrymore's encounter wasn't in a private jet, however

Drew Barrymore revealed she joined the 'mile high club' in a slightly different way than you’d expect.

On February 9, the Charlie's Angels star sat down for a chat and a ping pong game with The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco on her show, The Drew Barrymore Show.

During their match, the conversation turned to daring sexual escapades, when Barrymore asked Cuoco if she was a member of the 'mile high club'. For those who have been blissfully unaware of what that is, it is essentially when people have sex in an airplane.

The 40-year-old responded: “No, I have not. 100% no," but when the camera panned to Barrymore, the E.T. actor was smirking and nodding.

Cuoco then exclaimed: “I figured! You’re a wild child.”

The 50-year-old then split the tea further about her experience, even revealing where it happened.

While you might expect the rich and famous to do it via a private jet in the bedroom, Barrymore was a bit closer to home, as she revealed that it had happened on an American Airlines flight.

Cuoco then asked her if it was ‘difficult’ to achieve, to which she admitted: “No. It worked well.”

“Good seating? It kinda morphs to your… I could see that,” the Harley Quinn star said.

Barrymore then exclaimed: “He was in the bathroom,” before realising what she'd said, and covered her face with her paddle.

“Did I say that out loud?!” she said.

However, this isn't the first time Barrymore has admitted her on-board antics, as she also told Christina Aguilera about it in February 2024, though the 'Ain't No Other Man' singer wasn't a stranger to it herself.

“Doesn't it feel wild?” Barrymore asked her before revealing that she 'recommends' it.

“It’s not the same,” she added. “If you’re curious, like, ‘Why are people doing it?’ I’m telling you, elevation, it feels different. I can't recommend it more - sorry FAA!”

Though Aguilera might have Barrymore beat, as she revealed that she'd done it 'multiple times' because she travels so much.

However, despite it being widely talked about, the number of people who actually attempt it is quite low, at least according to a flight attendant.

Mandy Smith, a flight attendant who published Cabin Fever: The Sizzling Secrets of a Virgin Air Hostess, told LADbible Stories last year: "I would say one in twenty or thirty flights. Not really that often."

As for what she’d do if she walked in, she continued: "If it's on a night flight and they're being discreet, I probably wouldn't even interrupt them if I'm honest."
