Working In A Zombie Drama Helped Drew Barrymore Battle With Divorce Woe

Celebrated Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore who lost almost 20 pounds with 'The Santa Clarita Diet' for her role in a new Zombie drama says that she has got a new meaning in her life with this role, after divorce from her ex-husband Will Kopelman.

Drew Barrymore will be seen in the character of undead Sheila in the upcoming Netflix zombie drama show. She says the show has helped her immensely to get back her confidence.

"It (TV show) came in the middle of this moment in my life, where I had let myself go due to personal circumstances, and I thought I could come alive with Sheila. "It was a really great goal line for me, because as much as the weight loss... everything's very subtle, it's attitudinal, it's empowerment, it's confidence," Barrymore said in a statement.

"She's (Sheila) lost in her life and I felt I had sort of lost my life, and it was such a blessing to come alive with her, and it really was so positive for me." Barrymore said drawing a comparison to her own life.

Drew Barrymore who was pretty depressed regarding her divorce with ex-husband Will Kopelman had earlier said, it was very hard to go through all the procedure for divorce.

"It's a tough time. It's a hard thing to go through. It's like your being put on a cheese grater and every second, going, 'Ah! This wasn't the plan!," Barrymore stated.
