During Monday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the host got emotional during a makeover segment.
Speaking to women who had recently gone through body transformations — be it drastic weight loss or multiple pregnancies — Barrymore shared her own story about body insecurities.
Tearing up, she shared, “I so related. I really did,” adding, “The other day, I was walking down the street … and I’ve had two C-sections and I’m so wrecked down there that I permanently just … I can’t wear a lot of different types of pants.”
Barrymore shares two daughters, Olive, 13, and Frankie, 11, with ex-husband Will Kopelman.
The actress further shared, “I had this shorter shirt on, and I couldn’t keep my jacket closed. And I’m walking around and I was [thinking], I don’t want anyone to see this.”
During this portion of the show, the 51-year-old was speaking to a mother-of-four who had recently lost 75 pounds, was afraid to wear slimmer clothing and “would love to feel more confident … and not be worried about ‘do I look stupid?’”
Sharing that she was inspired by Dawn, the makeover participant, Barrymore added, “I totally get it. And I’ve gotta tell you, I’m looking at you and all I see is just your beautiful hard work … that I only know because you told us, I wouldn’t know otherwise … and you look so stunning.”
“Your body changes and you get older and things just aren’t the same,” she concluded.
Barrymore, who recently underwent a weight-loss transformation herself, has publicly dispelled rumors of going under the knife to achieve her youthful glow.
“I haven’t done anything, and I want to try and stay that way,” the talk show host said during an audience Q&A on her show.
“But I also am like, do whatever works for you,” she added at the time, continuing, “The only thing I do know is don’t judge other people because they do things differently … We’re all on our own path, and we have to support each other.”
