Drew Barrymore reveals Clueless star Breckin Meyer was her elementary school boyfriend and first kiss
Unlike her character ‘Josie Grossy’ in Never Been Kissed, Drew Barrymore revealed she found puppy love with a now famous Hollywood actor at an early age.
On her talk show Friday, Barrymore, 46, opened up about her first ever-boyfriend in elementary school revealing it to be none other than Clueless star Breckin Meyer, 46.
Previously sharing that he was also her first kiss in her autobiography Little Lost Girl, she continued to divulge details on the show in conversation with Scrubs stars Zach Braff and Donald Faison.

Barrymore began her career in Hollywood at the tender age of seven with E.T. and met Breckin as both were child actors.
Speaking to Faison — who starred alongside Meyer in 1995’s Clueless — he shared that Breckin actually introduced him to Drew when he first moved to LA.
‘When I first moved to Los Angeles, Breckin, Paul Rudd, and Alicia [Silverstone] took me to Jones and I met you that night – you and Johnny from The Karate Kid…I met you through Breckin and every time I’ve seen you since I’ve been like “I know Breckin”,’ he said.

‘Hypothetically, what happened was when I was 11…Drew was a friend when I was young. And she actually got me an audition with agent, which I owe all my work to,’ he shared joking that the kiss was to thank her.
‘If you do me a favor, I’ll make out with you,’ Meyer laughed.
Barrymore had spoken of the kiss in a 2019 interview with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show saying ‘It was great! He was adorable,’ also adding that her friend ‘kept scorecards.’
