Drew Barrymore Reacts To Criticism Over Touchiness With Show Guests

As I delve into this visual journey of Drew Barrymore‘s life, I am struck by the sheer resilience and versatility that she has demonstrated throughout her career. From child star to accomplished actress, producer, and entrepreneur, it is clear that Drew has lived a life filled with experiences that have molded her into the remarkable woman she is today.

Drew Barrymore is through accepting limits ’cause someone says they’re so.

On the Drew Barrymore Show, the host admitted that those close to her have advised her to tone down her habitual warmth and intimate physicality when interacting with her interview guests.

During her appearance on the show on December 10th, Drew inquired about a rumor that Cynthia Erivo’s “Wicked” co-star Ariana Grande is equally affectionate or tactile as herself.

She clarified her position as she sat near the Tony award recipient, “I’m quite sensitive, they need to caution me. They say, ‘Give me some space,’ and I wonder, ‘But why?’

Cynthia expressed that she had no issue with Drew’s penchant for holding hands.

“I’m the welcoming Capricorn,” she laughed. “It’s like, ‘I love you. You can touch.'”

To put it simply, after thirty-seven years, this individual has become accustomed to having a tangible link with Ariana. When they’re apart and not sharing a physical connection, it feels as if there’s an emptiness or incompleteness in their relationship.

Cynthia mentioned, “If we’re apart, I always wonder, ‘What happened? Where did you go?’ You understand what I’m saying. We usually hold hands quite frequently, so when we’re not doing that, we’ll seek each other out instead.

Drew agreed while revealing how her relationship status adds to her feelings about the topic.

The 49-year-old remarked, “That’s the way I prefer life to be. Since I’m not seeing anyone and there’s no one special in my life right now, what I crave is that intimate connection – holding hands, hugging, cuddling.

As a lifestyle expert, let me share some thoughts I’ve been mulling over lately: Why does something as simple and seemingly natural as physical touch sometimes spark intense debates?

Cynthia suggested, “It seems we might feel a little apprehensive about tangible interaction. We often tend to believe that physical interaction is limited to romantic contexts.

In certain situations, such as their friendship with Ariana, a seemingly trivial action like the “7 Rings” artist’s popular hand grip could serve as just the right bonding moment for friends.

Occasionally, when words fail, Harriet’s actress shared, you might find yourself in a situation where all you can do is give a gentle squeeze of the hand. This, she added, is how Ariana and I often convey messages to each other. It could be during a conversation with others or me trying to tell her something, but it’s these subtle gestures like a squeeze, a pinch, or even a hug that we rely on.

Drew found himself strongly in agreement, expressing, “I believe it would be wonderful if we all felt less inhibited about physical contact and lived in a more tactile world instead.

Many other celebrities have also voiced their support for Drew’s habit of showing physical affection towards his talk show guests, just like Cynthia does.

In a recent conversation, I found myself in a situation where Drew touched my arm during an interview in December of 2023. However, let me assure you, it was far from an uncomfortable moment for me.

She shared with TMZ, “I had never witnessed her acting that way before, yet it was adorable to me.” After the interview gained popularity, she confessed, “In truth, I found solace in her gentle touch on my arm.

She commented, “I found it absolutely wonderful,” and went on to say, “Drew is fantastic, and I adore how authentic she always is.
