Drew Barrymore Shares Some Behind-The-Scenes Moments From “Fever Pitch”
In an Instagram clip, Drew Barrymore and Jimmy Fallon discussed the end of the movie. Apparently, the ending we all saw, where the two share a romantic kiss on the field after the Red Sox win, was not the original ending.
PEOPLE Magazine shared the original ending of the film. “The Red Sox were supposed to lose since they hadn’t won in real life…The film was initially meant to conclude with the stars’ characters dressing as old people in the future when the Sox finally win.”
However, while they were filming the strangest thing happened. Jimmy Fallon recalled that while they were at the Red Sox game, they witnessed baseball history. Although the Red Sox hadn’t won in 86 years, their luck was about to change.
He said, “This is baseball history; as we’re filming this film, they make it into the wild card. Then they make it into the playoffs.” Jimmy Fallon described it as “the most magical year.”
Even More Hilarious Moments
Along with revealing that the ending was different, Drew Barrymore also shared some secret information about how Fever Pitch affected her personal life. When chatting with Jimmy Fallon, she recalled all the cameras at the game.
She said, “And we happen to have cameras at every single one of these games.” She continued explaining how Fox Sports allowed them to use their cameras to film because they didn’t want movie cameras on the field.
Although Jimmy Fallon asked them not to air any footage because no one knew of the movie yet, someone dropped the ball. Barrymore explained, “My boyfriend at the time, Fabrizio Moretti, is watching the series finale of the Red Sox, and there we are on the field kissing.” What a sight to see that must have been!
Don’t worry, Drew! We’re sure it all made sense once Fever Pitch premiered.
