Bizarre Drew Barrymore article goes viral

Actor and producer Drew Barrymore, 43, has been a star since the tender age of six, when she pulled off a scene-stealing turn in Steven Spielberg's 1982 box office smash ET.

But after decades of life in the public eye, surely there has never been an article about her as odd as this.

The interview, peppered with grammatical errors and dubious-sounding quotes, went viral after it was spotted by journalist and Yemen expert Adam Baron in Horus, the in-flight magazine of EgyptAir.

The piece opens by shaming the star for her romantic history, stating: "Despite being unstable in her relationships most of her life, despite the several unsuccessful marriages and despite the busy life of stardom that dominated her life for several years; the beautiful American Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore has recently decided to temporary [sic] take an unlimited vacation to play her most crucial role as a mother."

Aside from the somewhat accusatory tone, readers also flagged some unlikely quotes attributed to the Charlie's Angels actress.

Did she really say of her mothering style - "I do not intentionally follow certain parenting methods with my daughters and I do not consult with psychologists... I focus on nurturing their minds as well as their small bodies"?

Or how about, "I could not resist performing the most important role in my life - being a mother - in which I hope to be conscientious"?
