Drew Barrymore made headlines around the world during a moment on the David Letterman show in 1995 that quickly became notorious.

Now, the actress has opened up about the moment she flashed the host. She was just 20 at the time.

During the incident, the now 45-year-old jumped up on Letterman's desk and lifted her top in celebration of his birthday.

In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Drew recalled: "I think if there's one thing I've learned in a very long life in front of people is there is a line."

"There is TMI. And I kind of know what that line is, and it's a feeling. I pushed the limits a lot, many different times in my life.

The 45-year-old added: "And I’m very lucky, I know that. I tested, I pushed, probably too far many a time."

Drew said there's a silver lining to her past behavior, adding: "I at least tried to meet that blessing with having learned something."

Now, Drew is far from the wild child star that she once was, having also famously made headlines for checking into rehab at the age of 13.

She said that her wild past has had an effect on how she is raising her daughters Olive, seven, and six-year-old Frankie.

She admitted: "I wanna be all about, you know, the pillars of appropriateness and decorum. And I don't lie to my kids. I'm, like, I had to find my way here.

"So, yeah, I've lived a lot of different lives, and this is what's important to me now. But, my kids have inspired me to be the best person I have ever been in my life, and I thank them every single day for that."
