Drew Barrymore's Longtime Crush on Christian Bale

Wed, 04 February 2009 22:25:24 ET

Drew Barrymore has recently revealed her big secret. The "He's Just Not That Into You" star confesses she had a 22-year-long unrequited crush on fellow former child star Christian Bale.

The pair met as kids when Christian was cast in 1987 film "Empire of the Sun", which was directed by Drew's movie mentor Steven Spielberg. "He's so cute. And I knew him when he was a kid. He was in Empire of the Sun," says the actress, who recently split from boyfriend Justin Long.

And the 33-year-old beauty admits she still has feelings for the leading star of "The Dark Knight". Drew says, "If he walked into the room now, I would totally clam up. Or I might go overboard and embarrass myself."
