Drew Barrymore has been a Hollywood staple since she debuted as an actress in "E.T. the Extraterrestrial," playing Gertie. She has since starred in many blockbuster films and now has her own talk show.

Recently, the set of her talk show became where Barrymore comforted a fan she saw crying from the stage. Fans were even more enamored with Barrymore after they saw her reaction to the upset fan.

On Friday, May 26, 2023, "The Drew Barrymore Show" posted a video to their official Instagram account, showing Barrymore hearing a fan crying and immediately going over to comfort her.

As soon as Barrymore realized the fan was crying, she asked the fan if she was okay. Then she asked if she needed to deal with the person who had made the fan cry, which made the audience laugh.

Barrymore then walked over to the fan, who was sitting in the first row of the audience. As she approached the fan, the fan said she cried because she loved the actress.

Barrymore shared her relief with the audience and then joked, saying:

"Did you see me coming up here? I was like, 'Tell me where they are! I will take them down!'"

The fan explained to Barrymore that she had been her childhood idol, and she didn't want to cry but was overwhelmed. Barrymore told the fan it was okay to cry and then asked her name before sitting on her lap to embrace her.

Apart from all those who were in the audience and smiled at the pair's sweet moment, fans in the comments section of the Instagram video also shared their adoration for the actress and her kind heart.

One fan said that Barrymore sitting on their lap would have altered their brain chemistry and cured their anxiety. Another commented that they were there, and the moment had touched them deeply while another acknowledged that it was always broken people who had been through a lot that were the kindest.

One commenter said she was meant to interview Barrymore at a movie premiere, but couldn't because she was crying and Barrymore was so kind to her even though she was unable to conduct the interview. Philanthropist Mrs. Smith added:

"This is what our culture needs; more and more hugs."

A fan of Barrymore's joked that a snuggle like that from Barrymore could have cured their emotional trauma. Similar to the store story, another person shared that they starred as an extra on a movie with Barrymore, and she hung out with the extras for a while on set, even though she was the star of the film.

Why Did Barrymore Think About Taking Her Life Twice?

Apart from Barrymore comforting audience members with her hugs and readiness to defend them against anyone who could upset them, she had inspired many with her story in the past.

Barrymore burst onto the scene as a child actress and had a successful Hollywood career for many years, but underneath it all was something more sinister. Barrymore was facing personal battles.

The actress had often talked about everything she went through as a child and in her early teens before she could find a way to be happy with her life and satisfied with her existence.

She admitted she had twice thought of taking her own life because she did not know where else to turn. She confirmed she did not necessarily want to leave the earth, but she didn't know what else to do.

The actress' admission happened during her interview with Madison Beer on her show. Beer had first admitted that she had twice contemplated suicide and said that sometimes she wanted a "temporary death."

Beer explained that she was finally happy because she had done much inner child work. She confirmed that she knew she had to start at the beginning to be able to heal herself fully, so she dove into inner child healing head first.

The actress also revealed she took several mental health breaks at wellness retreats and went to therapy seven days a week. After doing all of that, she could finally be happy with herself again.

Barrymore gushed that what Beer had done was incredibly productive, and she had allowed herself to feel all her emotions and now be happy simply being herself. Barrymore also confessed that she loved Beer and everything she had done to heal from her emotional wounds.

Fans were once again charmed by the interaction between the two women, who spoke transparently about their mental health struggles and their journeys to become better.

One fan said they were praying for a society where everyone could get the help Beer did. Another said Barrymore did an excellent job of talking about complex topics, allowing women to see that they were not alone if they were struggling.

Another commenter said they didn't know much about Barrymore, but the way she openly addressed mental health was something the world badly needed. Another mentioned that Barrymore was a sweet soul; they loved her honesty and bravery.

One fan said they were proud of Beer and everything she willingly shared with the public. They mentioned they had been a fan for years and that it was great to see her slowly opening up about her struggles.

Barrymore's fans mentioned how much her show comforted them; some even thanked her for helping them through difficult times. As confirmed in the comments, the show has become a safe space for many people—a truly inspirational story.
