Drew Barrymore could last "years" without sex. The 47-year-old actress has joked about Andrew Garfield's method acting approach to his role as a Jesuit priest in 2016's 'Silence', which saw him abstain from sex and food for six months.
Speaking on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' this week, the host quipped: "Well, I get abstaining from sex, I did that my entire twenties. "I was like what’s wrong with me that six months doesn’t seem like a very long time.
