Drew Barrymore reveals Clueless star Breckin Meyer was her boyfriend in grade school and her first kiss
Unlike her character ‘Josie Grossy’ in Never Been Kissed, Drew Barrymore revealed that she found puppy love with a now-famous Hollywood actor at a young age.
On her Friday talk show, Barrymore, 46, opened up about her very first boyfriend in elementary school and revealed it was none other than Clueless star Breckin Meyer, 46.
She previously shared that he was also her first kiss in her autobiography Little Lost Girl, and she continued to reveal details about the show in conversations with Scrubs stars Zach Braff and Donald Faison.

Barrymore began her Hollywood career at the tender age of seven with ET and met Breckin as both were child actors.
In a conversation with Faison – who co-starred with 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 was like, “I know Breckin,” he said.

When she heard Breckin’s name Drew, she couldn’t contain her excitement as she waited to reveal that she and the Road Trip actor had gone way back.

“Hypothetically, what happened when I was eleven… Drew was a friend when I was young. And she actually got me an audition with an agent, which I owe all my work to, ‘he shared a joke that the kiss was to thank her.
“If you do me a favor, I’ll kiss you,” laughed Meyer.
