[@Bene_Gesserit]

Drew is one of those people whose very touchy but her gesture is actually genuine so you don't mind.

[@wesleyderenbach4980]

I was thinking the same when watching. Her soul is full of love like a supernova level of love.. incredible!! That's something you don't find that often. It oozes out of her..i got HSP. High sensitivity syndrome. You feel more then others. There are different levels of feeling. Some feel less others more. Yin Yang.

[@_Amor_Fati]

Yessss. Her dress is saying the same thing with the glamorous peekaboo thing- yet totally natural hair and nude face where she's feeling great, but ...Never trying too hard

[@_Amor_Fati]

Well said my dear 😉

[@namesurname2341]

ohh maybe that's why I feel so uncomfortable when I watch her interviews. I need my personal space and I'd rather have someone respect that 🤣

[@DaveMcIroy]

She's a psycho.

[@septemberrayne90069]

Drew radiates positivity. I simply adore her.

[@debrashawcross170]

[@JonJonMiles]

@@debrashawcross170 You're so silly, Debra.

[@adale2771]

She’s been through a lot .

[@Under_Sky_Third_Gaia]

She is in on it all

[@JonJonMiles]

[@laurawestenra]

Can we all just appreciate what a kind, soulful person Drew is? There is no one like her, she's so special. Just a creature of light, through and through. 💛💛💛

[@coryart]

Drew is the kind of genuine good person that other hosts try claiming they are.

[@crisfield4364]

I will argue that Jimmy Fallon is that one other person in the world like that, too. ♥♥

[@jbougiedown00]

​@@crisfield4364 I completely agree

[@Under_Sky_Third_Gaia]

All part of the plan.

[@pebble2apearl]

💯

[@coryart]

@@crisfield4364 Did you see the Rolling Stone investigation revealing that Jimmy Fallon has been the cause of a “toxic workplace” for years for his staffers and writers?

[@iadiramorales68]

She’s lived, and now she’s free of all that dark she had before. She’s enjoying life, and loves her children ❤❤ adores people. Plus she’s got that kid inside of her, love it 🥰

[@DeputyDewdrop13]

The chemistry here is undeniable. You can tell they’re real friends. ❤️🥰

[@nikw94]

Jimmy is friends with everyone lol

[@heidi3737]

@@nikw94 This is true, he & Drew are particularly close I feel though. She introduced him to his wife, who has been her best friend and business partner for decades.

[@ninakeehner607]

If Jimmy was single, these two would be so amazing together ❤️ 😍 💖 💗

[@irsamusic518]

She express herself like she is a child , so amazed by everything , so cute, I'd try to be more like her

[@ghoulssz]

don’t try to be more like her, try to be more like you! ❤ drew is special but so are you. ✨ don’t forget!

[@neonoires]

Unfortunately it’s probably because she didn’t have a childhood. Her upbringing was way too mature.

[@BLESSFUL-Bliss]

@@neonoires Yes, arrested development. Abuse, neglect, etc. buried her inner child, and since her healing journey, it's been resurfacing to the max.

[@lizziewest4930]

Her love is so infectious, i can't help but love her. What a wonderful soul

[@clairedubery1056]

She is so sweet and natural. She's a naturally affectionate person .

[@laurayne2818]

Can't hate Drew. What a life, what a legacy!!

[@barcelonachair6487]

I normally don't lean into logo heavy clothing but her outfit is giving life. It feels like the 1970s and the 1940s had the most beautiful baby, then took its first steps down the catwalk. I have been watching Lionel Barrymore films lately and she stole his face! It's so lovely.

[@coriannm318]

Yes! Great description 😅and her webbed gloves are everything❤

[@Jaxxaamillion]

Thisssss 🫶🏼🤙🏼🙏🏼

[@famoustyl4036]

what brand is that?

[@EtreBritta93]

But there’s no logo…..

[@thewayofroses]

I have a friend of a friend who met Drew once at a restaurant in Austin, TX and they said she was the nicest person ever. She even invited them to come sit with her. I love her energy!

[@nternetrat]

no way!! did they??

[@michellerene951]

I love stories like that! We always hope they are genuinely kind like we see in their interviews.

lmaooo she's a movie ICON and yet she's still so humble and has no idea why we love her so much! She just radiates light & positivity everywhere she goes I truly hope she wins all the emmys!!

[@sarajohnson6550]

Drew is so authentic and genuine!! She went through so much in her younger years and yet her perspective on life is wonderful, it just shows that happiness does come from within. Love you Drew! 💕

[@mannedi8665]

She is just so high in life. With all that she has been through and surviving hollywood. What an amazing woman

[@vnewt0422]

She just seems like the most genuine person.

[@lauraa744]

[@Cmunoz281]

Drew is the epitome of what walking through life with a positive attitude gets you 🤍

[@MrRy2525]

I forgot to add I like the chemistry between Jimmy and Drew. I loved the movie Fever Pitch with both of them. I would love to see another movie with the both of them.

[@Jeremyguy16]

There is no hating Drew Barrymore, she’s too humble, too kind, and too genuine of a person and we need more like her on this planet.

[@Claireannette77]

She is such a light in this world, and genuinely one of my favorite humans ever!!! She makes me want to be/do better💕

[@crisfield4364]

Ohmigod. Drew and Jimmy on the same show together having a conversation. They both love everything and everyone and I love them. And Jimmy, I cried at the intro of your first show back from the pandemic on your way into the studio. I ugly cried. We were coming back! ♥♥♥♥♥

[@stephengiese7549]

I have never heard a talk show host who is so honest, real and has a bubbly personality that is so refreshing to see! Are we viewers lucky or what😀

I Love her! Soooo glad her success hasn't gotten to her head and she's remain heart-warming and grounded sincere Good human being!!!

[@joanofarcxxi]

She is truly a sweet humble person and a perfect example of someone who grew up and evolved. I love her softness and empathy and how affectionate she is, almost to the point of making people feel uncomfortable because they are not used to such gracious connection. I laughed like hell when he showed that meme of the eyeballs. 😂. ❤😊❤

[@redcomet0079]

Their chemistry is almost a Fever Pitch

[@BrianChappie]

They were great together in that film.

[@Sdority905]

Yep, it definitely hits a home run

[@OriginalKendallisme]

She is such a light in this world! Beautiful, authentic, kind soul.

[@aidenalamo6262]

I am glad she has recovered from alcoholism when she was a teenager. The care she received and later on, the support she got from the public when she published her memoir, Little Girl Lost really helped her. Also, being a mum helps and the talk show is a great distraction from life's woes. Congratulations to her.

[@yewneek82]

She is such a beautiful soul ❤

They’re both just positive, kind people and you can tell they genuinely like people and love to hear their stories, even non famous people. Jimmy’s the kinda guy that thanks all the wait staff at an event/restaurant & is a generous tipper. Not for show, but because he wants to help others

@@justnothing4748 He was very sweet, even the first time I met him, when I could hardly get any words out 🤣 he said “how’s it going pal?” After an awkward silence, after I had just called out to him, as he was walking into 30 Rock.
