Hollywood actor Drew Barrymore says she was stressed throughout shooting for her 1999 movie "Never Been Kissed" as she was told by studio executives that she looked "too unattractive" in the film. In the romantic comedy, Barrymore played the role of Josie, a copy editor without any real relationship experience, who goes undercover to a local high school to get a front-page story. During an episode of her chat show "The Drew Barrymore Show", the 49-year-old actor said while she had a lot of fun on set, she was also a bit scared about how the movie would turn out.

"I was very stressed throughout the movie. I was so scared during the whole film because I knew if it didn`t work, we weren`t going to get another chance. We had so much fun making it but I had to clench my stomach the whole time," she said. Barrymore said she was advised to keep herself in control as she was getting too much into the comedy element, which was making her appear less appealing on screen.
