Hes a wonderful man, Drew said of her fianc, Will Kopelman, as Shaun admired her ring. He bought her a flashlight to put on it, Drews Big Miracle co-star John Krasinski who plays a news reporter in the film chimed in, referencing the sparkling qualities of Drews diamond. Its very sweet. Practical. Drew got engaged over the holidays while she and Will were in Sun Valley, Idaho. He is a very romantic and creative person, Drew told Shaun of Will. Hes wonderful. Drew said she loves the stability of her relationship with Will, something she opened up about in the February issue of InStyle magazine. Its funny, when I was younger, I used to say Id hate a flat linethat I want the ups and downs, the rollercoaster. But Im actually really enjoying the flat line, she told the mag. When asked about her quote, Drew expanded on her original thoughts, telling Shaun that she loves how her life has turned out. I think that you want so much sort of craziness and excitement when youre younger and then its actually just being with friends and family and having that quiet weekend together that is just the most ideal way to spend your time, she said. Totally, John chimed in with a smile. And he called and asked my permission first (laughs) Hes really sweet. Also sweet is Drew and Johns film, which allowed the actress to play a whale advocate who tangles with multiple governments on an emotional journey to save three whales. I like going to work and having to cry. I like having to go to work and be strong or feisty, and I got to do so many things as this amazing woman Drew said of her character, Rachel. I got to fight for something I completely love and believe in. And the story, in general, motivated the actress as well. I just loved the story. I like family oriented movies, I like if theres something for children, but I like if theres something for adults too, and this is environmental, and its political, and its heartfelt, and its emotional, she said. Its uplifting. I dont have a sad umbrella over my head. I want to see things that are inspiring. Big Miracle hits theaters on February 3. Copyright 2012 by NBC Universal, Inc. All rights reserved.
