Drew Barrymore is among the legion of fans who became involved with Netflix’s latest hit, “Bridgerton”.
The “50 First Dates” and “Ever After” star invited Phoebe Dynevor and Regé-Jean Page to their talk show to discuss the period drama.
During her appearance on Friday, Barrymore revealed that the hottest scenes from the show inspired the 45-year-old actress to try again on dating apps.
The revelation came after television personality Ross Matthews, a superfan in the series, joined the program and thanked Dynevor, 25, and Page, 31, for “making such a beautiful program that is so modern, it looks so now , even though it’s based so long ago and for actually starting our engines, if you know what I mean. “
DREW BARRYMORE WAS TAKEN BY A MAN THAT HE KNEW IN A DATING APP
“It’s true,” said Barrymore. “I went back to a dating app during ‘Bridgerton’.”
She added, “I was like, ‘I’m not dead, I’m not dead!'”
The actress, who recently spoke about dating apps on her show, said that returning to that platform “was a big step”.
During a recent episode of the show, the “ET the Extra-Terrestrial” actress revealed that she was approached by a man she met on a dating app.

“I made an appointment with a guy, finally, and then he picked me up just when we were supposed to meet,” revealed Barrymore. “I was like, ‘Can’t you be an idiot an hour before? That would have saved you a lot of time.'”
She noted that being lifted by a dating app is not “shocking” because it “happens all the time”.

Dynevor previously approached the show’s sex scenes in an interview with the Daily Star, still revealing that he watched the show with his mother – Sally Dynevor – and his grandparents.
“I had to sit there and go on high alert with the remote,” said the actress of the intimate scenes. “We almost did it.”
