Hollywood star Drew Barrymore🍸 claims she has no trouble las꧃ting "years" without sex. The 47-year-old actress poked fun at Andrew Garfield's method acting approach to his role as a Jesuit priest in 2016's 'Silence', which saw him abstain from intimacy and food for six months.

"Well, I get abstaining fဣrom 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. I was like, 'Yeah so?' " the hostꦛ quipped when speaking on 'The Drew Barrymore Show' this week, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Her co-star Ross Matthews joked, &quo🎐t;I mean, we buried the lea there. That's the headline, 'Drew can go six months, no big deal.' "

She replied, "Oh, years."

Drew has also used me🐷thod acting in the past, p▨articularly when she was playing Edie Beale in 'Gray Gardens', which earned her a Golden Globe award.

She explained, "There are lots of actors who have, Christian Bale, Jared Leto, M🌃atthew McConaughey, you do want to transform and fully commit, so I understand that."

"I definitely on certain projects, like when I was doing 'Gray Gardens' this film I did where I played this beloved real-life woman Edie BealeaI was so nervous I didn't really chit chat with 🐷everybody on set, I just really stayed in character, or her."

Last month, Andrew opened up about the waꦜy he approached playing a 17th-century priest in "Silence" and describ⭕ed it as an "incredibly spiritual experience."

🔜He said, "I did a bunch of spiritual practices every day. I created new rituals for myself. I was celibate for six months, and fasting a lot, because me and Adam (Driver) had to lose a bunch of weight anyway."

"﷽;There were all the spiritual practices we got to do while we were praying, meditating, having all the intentions we had as thಞose characters. It was very cool, man. I had some pretty wild, trippy experiences from starving myself of sex and food for that period of time."
