In photos obtained by The Daily Mail, the 46-year-old took to the streets of New York dressed as Josie in a pink ‘80s satin prom dress, matching scrunchie, and white heels. Barrymore flashed a peace sign and a big smile which showed she had fake braces across her teeth similar to the character in the movie.
While it’s unclear why the actress wore the getup, Barrymore’s eponymous talk show, which films in Manhattan, was set to start production on its second season this week.
In “Never Been Kissed,” Barrymore’s character of Josie Geller was given the nickname “Josie Grossie” when she was in high school. After becoming a news reporter, Geller is assigned a story which requires her to pose as a high school student to understand contemporary teenagers.
The romantic comedy also starred Michael Vartan, Jessica Alba, and David Arquette.
This isn’t the first time Barrymore has revisited the character. Last year, she reprised the role to help deliver a news segment on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”
So there’s a good chance Josie will be making a return appearance on the chat show.
Back in 2019, Barrymore paid tribute to "Never Been Kissed" for the movie's 20th anniversary.
“All we wanted to do was make something that felt like the way so many of us feel growing up. It’s raw and ridiculous, beautiful and helps you decide what is important and what isn’t,” she captioned a collage of images on Instagram. “Josie Grossie forever.”
Season 2 of “The Drew Barrymore Show” is set to premiere Monday, Sept. 13th.
