The 'Santa Clarita Diet' star is keen for Olive, five, to follow in her footsteps and one day run Flower Beauty, which Drew founded in 2013.

She told People magazine: "If she could play with makeup all day long every day, she would be so happy. I always tell her, 'I hope that you maintain your interest in this because if we were ever to be successful enough as a brand to keep going, I would want you to work with us. To run things.' She also wants to be a veterinarian, so we'll see which way the pendulum swings."

Meanwhile, Drew - who also has Frankie, three, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman - previously revealed she wants her children to feel "safe".

She said: "I think children need to be shown how much they are loved. So I try to be that kind of mother who makes them feel loved and safe and be part of a very healthy home environment. I would like to help them have a healthy and positive outlook in life. Those are important things to have when you have to deal with a lot of the bad things that life throws at you sometimes."

Drew has enjoyed getting older and thinks she's a "better" person now than she was when she was younger.

She added: "I would not know how to function if a time machine picked me up and took me back to 10 years ago. I get a little better each day. You have to get older to get better, and wiser, and calmer, and focus on the right things. I'm a way better person than I used to be. And trust me, I'm very critical of myself."
