drew barrymoreDrew Barrymore has revealed that she’s still close to the vast majority of her ex-boyfriend.

The He’s Just Not That Into You star told Ellen DeGeneres recently: “People are always like ‘Is it awkward?’ I’m like, ‘No: because if you can’t be with somebody, it doesn’t mean that the love has to go away - it just transfers to something different that works at that point in your life.

“I’m really close with some of the people I’ve been with in my life because they’ve had such an impact on it that I don’t want them to go away, you know.”

Her now ex-boyfriend Justin Long costars in the new rom-com but she insists it’s not awkward having to work together to promote the film: “[He’s a] really, really good friend.

“We hang out all the time and people are like ‘Are you getting back together?’ And, we’re like, ‘No we’re just friends.’ He’s just the sweetest guy.”

She added that she’s also considering working on with her ex Fabrizio Moretti on a new musical project: “My ex-boyfriend Fabio, I was [him] for five years - he’s the drummer for The Strokes - and I was just showing him my new movie, and we’re talking about doing a song together.

“I mean that’s just the way - if you’re fortunate enough - that life can be, and it’s so harmonious.”
