Catching Drew and Jimmy's 'Fever
Pitch' March 22,
2005 Look out Drew, it's not another
woman stealing your man's heart -- your boyfriend's
in love with an entire team. "Extra"
sat down with the stars of the hilarious new romantic
comedy, "Fever Pitch," which chronicles
one man's obsession with the Boston Red Sox's
quest to win a World Series, and his girlfriend's
attempt to understand it. And it quickly became
evident, the mutual attraction between the film's
stars explained their sizzling on-screen chemistry.
Jimmy Fallon: She's the greatest, she's like dreamy.
Drew Barrymore: I'm in love with him. He's just
the best.
"Extra:" Jimmy, are you obsessed with
anything in real life?
JF: I was obsessed with the show "Extra"
for awhile.
"Extra:" Thanks. So the movie's timing
couldn't have been better. You filmed right in
the middle of the Red Sox's unbelievable run for
the championship last year.
JF: That was the coolest thing ever. It was just
unforgettable, really great.
DB: We were like, "There's no way this is
happening right now."
And after hits like "50 First Dates,"
Barrymore says she really enjoys doing romantic
comedies.
"Extra:" You're like the quintessential
date-movie girl.
DB: Oh, thank you. I love dates.
In real life, Drew is dating musician Fabrizio
Moretti, but she told us that she and her pals
may also make another date with "Charlie's
Angels."
DB: I bet we'd all, like, totally be up for it.
We'd be like, "Oh, cool we hang out all the
time anyway."
Until then, catch Barrymore taking a swing at
a whole new role when "Fever Pitch"
hits theaters April 8th.
