Drew Barrymore endures back pain from Fever Pitch filming

Drew Barrymore has opened up about the ongoing back pain she suffers from an injury incurred while filming the 2005 romantic comedy 'Fever Pitch,' which is celebrating its 20th anniversary. The injury occurred during a scene where she dramatically falls while running barefoot across Fenway Park's outfield, a moment she described as painfully real, as her wincing and screaming were genuine. Despite the pain, Barrymore expressed fond memories of working on the film, highlighting its emotional depth and the relationships it portrayed, including the real-life romance that blossomed between co-star Jimmy Fallon and her producing partner. She believes that the characters she portrayed, Lindsey and Ben, are still happily together and that the film serves as a metaphor for accepting each other's baggage in relationships. Barrymore continues to balance her acting career with hosting her own talk show but remains open to returning to acting, especially if she can team up with Adam Sandler again. Overall, she reflects positively on her experience, despite the lasting impact of her injury.
