Drew Barrymore thinks people should only use twitter if they are funny and insists she will never join.
The ‘Going the Distance’ actress has no interest in the micro-blogging site and admits she is an “old fashioned girl” when it comes to technology.
She said: “I know I’m an anomaly, I know everyone else is in love with it, but it’s not for me. I like people who use it for comedy to make people laugh.
“If people are making other people laugh and making jokes then that’s awesome.”
When pressed to try out the site by Absolute Radio DJ Geoff Lloyd, she refused, saying: “I’m an old fashioned girl.”
Drew’s ‘Going the Distance’ co-star and on/off boyfriend Justin Long believes the 35-year-old actress will stick to her self-imposed twitter ban.
He said: “She won’t join, I promise you she won’t.”
In a joint interview, he added to Drew: “Like as disparate as it is from your nature, I still feel like you would tweet some really funny things, you’d have some good entertainment.”
Drew – who refuses to confirm if she is in a relationship with Justin – previously claimed she thinks technology is killing romance.
She said: “I just don’t like this compulsive, instantaneous, over- information, lack-of-privacy, weirdo aspect of the world. If you meet someone, they already know everything.
“What about showing up on the date and saying, ‘What do you do for a living? Who are your friends?’ Yes, you can avoid maybe a serial killer, but who f***ing knows? I am a romantic and it scares me.”
