Two celeb’s parents may have knocked boots, according to Rob Lowe.
Rob Lowe thinks his dad and Drew Barrymore’s mom might have linked up years ago.
Barrymore is Lowe’s next guest on his Literally! With Rob Lowe podcast on Thursday, and in a clip, the stars reflect on memories from the Los Angeles hot spot Helena’s back in the 1980s.
Barrymore, 47, recalls frequenting the star-studded club with her mom Jaid, now 76.
Lowe tells Barrymore he has “suspicions” that his father Charles and Jaid, as Barrymore puts it, “ended up together” one night at the club. “I wouldn’t doubt it,” she says, as Lowe agrees, “Neither would I.”
“I kind of like the thought of it, I have to say,” Lowe continues.
“Literally, my mom was fun, is fun. She was a good-time gal.” Adds Lowe, “My sense is, as mothers go, she was in her wheelhouse at Helena’s,” said Barrymore. “She and I used to go to Helena’s, I feel, like multiple times a week. You know how people hit the gym a few times a week? We hit Helena’s a few times a week.”
Barrymore also said she remembers seeing Madonna and Sean Penn there all the time. She even saw Jack Nicholson, whom she would go on to party with years later outside of the nightclub.
Lowe called Helena’s amazing and noted the disparate, insane, high level of people that were there.
“Jack Nicholson was a fixture at Helena’s,” Barrymore says. “He went to Helena’s as many nights a week as me and my mom. And funny enough, I ended up, like, partying with him a lot years later at his house. It was never inappropriate. We would just party and talk and hang out. I love Jack. But I feel like I made friends with him at Helena’s, which then matriculated into, a decade later, us, like, partying at his house.”
