Drew Barrymore has warmed hearts after stopping her talk show to comfort a crying audience member.<\/p>\n
In a video posted to Instagram on 25 May, The Drew Barrymore Show host was seen filming her daytime talk show when she paused production after noticing an emotional fan in the audience.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you okay? Did anything happen? Whose a** do I have to kick?\u201d she asked, as she walked over to the tearful fan who later shared her name was Olivia. When Olivia\u2019s friend explained, “She loves you so much,\u201d Barrymore replied: \u201cOh, thank God it\u2019s nothing bad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Olivia told the Charlie\u2019s Angels star that she was her \u201cchildhood idol\u201d but didn\u2019t want to be \u201cthat person\u201d to cry in front of their favourite celebrity. However, Barrymore encouraged the fan to let it all out.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, screw that! Be that person,\u201d she quipped.<\/p>\n
At that point, the Never Been Kissed star joined Olivia in the stands and sat on her lap, saying: \u201cI don\u2019t know why I have the urge to do this.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the two hugged, Barrymore expressed to Olivia that she was just as happy to meet one of her fans. \u201cThis is just such an honour for me to meet you,\u201d she said, before joking that her breath smelled like dumplings.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s so funny that you would say, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t want to cry here.\u2019 I cry here all the time,\u201d Barrymore assured her.<\/p>\n
In the comments section of the post, many fans shared their love for Drew Barrymore\u2019s kind gesture.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is literally the sweetest thing,\u201d said one person, while another wrote: \u201dWhy did this make ME cry?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like Drew sitting on my lap would permanently rewire my brain and cure my lifelong existential angst and insomnia and anxiety,\u201d joked someone else.<\/p>\n
Drew Barrymore has been known to get up close and personal with many of her talk show guests. In one episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, she knelt in front of trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney as she opened up about finding joy in the transgender community. During a segment with actor Brooke Shields, Barrymore sat cross-legged on the couch as they bonded over their difficult childhoods. And she recently held hands with singer Chloe Bailey while discussing their struggles with imposter syndrome.<\/p>\n
Last April, Barrymore explained that her intimate interview style is caused by a \u201cmagnetic pull\u201d she feels with her guests. <\/p>\n
\u201cI love doing the show so much. I get to learn from people every day,\u201d she told Jimmy Fallon during an appearance on The Tonight Show. \u201cI get to have these incredible conversations that I definitely take something away. It\u2019s always improving my life, it\u2019s profound, it\u2019s fun.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love people. I love every human being on the planet,\u201d Barrymore added. \u201cI\u2019m fascinated and everyone has a story and every person is exceptional and interesting. And it is so fun to literally get to be a conversationalist at work. It\u2019s the coolest thing in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
