The Never Been Kissed star, 50, has made no secret of her airplane escapades - but was horrified to have inadvertently let slip some more wild tidbits about the tryst. 

On Monday's episode of her eponymous show, Barrymore revealed she had sex in the bathroom of an American Airlines flight. 

Barrymore was playing ping pong with guest Kaley Cuoco when she made the revelation. 

'American Airlines!' Barrymore admitted.

'Was it difficult in there?' Ross Mathews, 46, asked. 

'No, it worked well,' Barrymore said.

'Good seating, it kind of morphs to your, I can see that,' guest Kaley Cuoco, 40, said. 

'It was in the bathroom,' Barrymore clarified.

Horrified, Barrymore covered her face with her ping pong paddle. 'Did I see that out loud?' she exclaimed. 

'Brazil to New York, American Airlines,' she said on her show in 2024, before adding, 'It was a long time ago in another life. I would never do something like that now!'

She went on to implore that she wouldn't relive those days.

'No, I'm a mother now!' Barrymore, who has two daughters with ex-husband Will Kopelman, cried. 'This was all pre-mother.'

Barrymore may no longer be getting intimate in the air, but that hasn't stopped her from recommending the act to others. 

'Doesn't it feel wild?' she told Aguilera. 'It's not the same. If you're curious why people are doing it, I'm telling you, elevation... It feels different. I can't recommend it more. I'm sorry FAA.'

Barrymore's days of having sex mid-flight seem to be long behind her.  

In 2022, she revealed she had not been in an 'intimate relationship' since her split from Kopelman in 2016.

'At nearly 48 I have very different feelings about intimacy than I did growing up. I did not have role model parents and I engaged with people in grown up ways since a tender age!' the Golden Globe winner wrote on her talk show's blog.

In the past, she said she 'was looking for companionship, validation. excitement, pleasure, hedonism, fun and adventure' through intercourse.

Since she doesn't have a 'time machine' or way to 'change' her history, the mom-of-two said she chooses to 'look at it through a positive lens.'

'After two kids and a separation from their father that has made me cautious, I have had the pleasure of shifting my focus when it comes to love for myself and my two daughters,' Barrymore continued. 'I know that does not include a man nor has it for a while.'

She then credited her therapist for telling her: 'Sex is not love! It is the expression of love.'

'I have searched my whole life to have words like that to help me understand the difference and now, thanks to him, I do,' the star noted. 'And since entering life as a single mom, I have not been able to have an intimate relationship.'

While she said she might 'get into a relationship' in the near future, she insisted it 'simply hasn’t been' her priority.

'I’m not a person who needs sex and has to go out there and engage with people on that level,' Barrymore stated. 'I am someone who is deeply committed to fostering how young girls, my daughters, and myself as a woman, are supposed to function in this world!'

Additionally, she confessed that a 'relationship with a man has not been top of mind for me for a very long time.'

'Some people can get out of a marriage or relationship and in the near future find themselves in another relationship. There is nothing wrong with that! Not one bit. I do not judge! I celebrate their journey!' she said.

For her, however, she said she 'needed to stay very celibate' as she mourned 'the loss of a nuclear family' that she 'swore' that she would have for her daughters.

She went on to conclude that she wishes when she was younger that she 'had the chastity and the thoughtfulness' about intimacy that she has a 48-year-old woman.
