Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve. On this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, host Drew Barrymore recalled spending the night in New Kids on the Block member Jordan Knight’s hotel room. But, according to the actress, it turned out to be one of the “most chaste” evenings of her life.
Barrymore and co-host Ross Mathews were chatting with Blue Bloods stars Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan when the conversation about Wahlberg’s iconic boy band came up.
“I thought about a night that I remember walking through a sea of girls at a hotel on the Sunset Strip,” Barrymore explained. “It was in the late ‘80s, early ‘90s. And I got to go into Jordan Knight’s hotel room.”
She continued, “It was like — literally, I was getting to live out every girl’s fantasy,” while Mathews chimed in that it was “not just the girls’ fantasy.”
Barrymore could clearly sense everyone’s mind going to the gutter, so she assured the room that nothing sexual happened between her and Knight.
“All we did was — he played the keyboard and at about 3 a.m. I left and went home and it was the loveliest, most chaste evening of my life,” she said. “You didn’t think that was where it was going, right? That wasn’t where I wanted it to go I think at the time.”
Mathews then added, “I’m proud of you and disappointed in you at the same time,” to which Barrymore replied, “I feel the same way.”
Barrymore’s life is filled to the brim with stories of her encounters with fellow celebrities. During a February episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she remembered the night she “fell in love” with her ex-boyfriend Justin Long.
“I was dating this guy who was the classic he’s just not that into you guy,” she recalled to her longtime friend Sam Rockwell. “Everything I did — I was all in and he wasn’t. So Sam was like, ‘Listen, we’re taking you for drinks.’ And I was like, ‘Thank you!'”
She continued, “I show up in my leather gloves. I got all dressed up because I wanted to feel good about myself. I showed up for drinks with you and Justin. And that’s the night I fell in love with Justin.”
