Justin Theroux and Drew Barrymore Remember Sending Each Other to the Hospital While Filming “Charlie's Angels”

Justin Theroux recalled Drew Barrymore breaking his chest plate while filming a 'big fight scene' in the 2003 'Charlie's Angels' sequel

Drew Barrymore and Justin Theroux had painfully good chemistry in 2003's Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. Literally.

In an interview with Barrymore, 49, on the Sept. 11 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Theroux, 53, recalled a “big fight scene” that they filmed when she first injured him.

In Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle — which also starred Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu — Barrymore, who played Dylan Sanders, one of the three angels, said that she and the Beetlejuice Beetlejuice actor played “ex-boyfriend and girlfriend” in the film.

“We had this large fight sequence [where Drew] was wearing these … heel boots,” Theroux explained. “Then [she was] supposed to just kick me into some barrels, so Drew just hauls back and kicks me as hard as she can and goes right into my chest plate and breaks it.”

He also remembered that Barrymore said that it was a “fantastic” cut, but he recalled it as “the worst thing ever."

Later, the Never Been Kissed actress said that her “tailbone cracked into the chair and broke” after “Justin kicked me into that chair and I forgot to put my tailbone pad in.” But despite their respective injuries on set, the pair have been able to maintain their friendship for more than 25 years.

Barrymore previously revisited her iconic makeup look from the Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle promo tour from the early aughts back in April. With the help of hairstylist Chris Appleton and makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury, she was able to recreate the glam for a segment on The Drew Barrymore Show. 

In the behind-the-scenes clips, Barrymore said she felt like she “just got put in a time machine and I'm back 20 years ago” and added that it was “good to know I can look like a Charlie’s Angel again.”

In 2022, Barrymore said in an episode of the Drew's News podcast that she would reprise her role as Dylan Sanders “in a heartbeat”

"I would be surprised if any one of us ever decreed that we wouldn't [do a third movie]," she said on the episode, nodding to costars Diaz and Liu. “[But] the answer is an emphatic yes. I will always say yes."
