'I've been with my wife for 22 years. We've been married for 10. We have a daughter,' began Billy to Drew.
He said they were introduced on the set of Bad Santa when he was on a 'kind of a lost weekend, you know what I mean.
'We were together within probably a couple of months maybe yeah, she kind of drug me out of the gutter, which was awesome we've been together longer than if you totaled up all the other five, it's more time.
When Barrymore asked how many times he has been married, he shared his story.
'Well, you wanna hear something that really freaked me out because it's six for me.
'So one time, I don't know how I got there, but you know when you go on the internet to look something up and then it leads you to like a bunch of other stuff and you don't really wanna look at it, but you do anyway. So I'm looking at it one day and they had the people who with the most marriages in Hollywood. And I was the only person who was alive on it.
'I mean, it was like, I mean, it had like Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor and all these people and like, I mean people from like you know, that started in the 30s.'

'She thought it would be interesting and romantic if we took a little razor blade and sliced our fingers, smeared a little blood on these lockets and you wear it around your neck just like you wear your son or daughter's baby hair in one.
'From that, we were wearing quart jars of blood around our necks. And we were vampires and we lived in a dungeon.'

Last week he attended the LA premiere with his wife.

Landman focuses on the huge oil boom in Texas and how some of the biggest moguls in the trade will go to any means necessary to maintain their vast wealth.
The series is co-created by the man behind the Yellowstone universe Taylor Sheridan, 53, and podcaster Christian Wallace.
Landman, like Yellowstone, is set in the present day and is inspired by the popular podcast Boomtown, which chronicled a 21st century oil boom in western Texas.
The series logline describes it as 'an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy and our geopolitics.'
Demi is set to play series regular Cami, whose husband Monty (Jon Hamm) is one of the most powerful oil men in Texas and a friend of Tommy Norris who is played by Billy Bob Thornton.
Season one of Landman will premiere on Paramount+ on November 18.
The cast recently returned to the United States after promoting the west Texas drama in the United Kingdom last week.
The promo tour for Landman comes soon after the release of Demi's latest film project, The Substance, which also stars Margaret Qualley, 30.
