Drew Barrymore is diving head first into a new comedy feature! The talk show host, 45, stars in the upcoming comedy The Stand-In. In the film, which happens to be the longtime actress’s first comedy feature since 2015’s Miss You Already co-starring Toni Collette, Drew stars as both Candy Black — a diva movie star — and her stand-in! When Candy’s behavior lands her in rehab, the star decides to send her stand-in to the center in her place, leading to a plot for America’s one-time sweetheart to make her stand-in’s job permanent.
The film follows Candy’s stand-in as she maneuvers Hollywood and as Candy tries to refine her star image. Throughout the official trailer, Drew hones in her comedy skills, doing nearly everything from flying head first into a pile of cow dung (twice!), to appearing on talk shows with cameos by Jimmy Fallon, Kelly Ripa, Ryan Seacrest, and more!

Ever since she was little, Drew has completely charmed audiences. The actress got her start in 1982’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial before becoming a sought-after star of romantic comedies like Never Been Kissed, Ever After: A Cinderella Story, and 50 First Dates. Of course, Drew did have some tough years when she was a teenager, but like the character she plays in her upcoming film, she was able to bounce back.
