In a remarkably honest revelation that will resonate with anyone who's ever endured an awkward date, Drew Barrymore has opened up about her brief romantic involvement with fellow actor Luke Wilson - and she doesn't hold back about how cringeworthy the experience was.
The Cringe-Worthy Confession
During a recent appearance on her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show, the 49-year-old actress shared the embarrassing story with guest Cameron Diaz, leaving both women in stitches over the relatable dating mishap.
"I went out with Luke Wilson for about five minutes," Barrymore confessed, "and I was so embarrassed because I was such a fangirl."
When Confidence Evaporates
The Charlie's Angels star explained that despite typically being confident around men she found attractive, something about Wilson made her completely lose her composure.
"I just couldn't pull it together," she admitted, describing how her usually bubbly personality vanished in his presence. "I was just so awkward and weird."
A Short-Lived Romance
While Barrymore didn't specify exactly when their brief romance occurred, Wilson - known for roles in Legally Blonde and The Royal Tenenbaums - has maintained a relatively low profile in recent years compared to his older brother Owen Wilson.
The actress's candid confession highlights how even Hollywood A-listers aren't immune to the same dating anxieties and embarrassing moments that affect everyone else.
Finding The Humour In Hindsight
What makes Barrymore's story particularly endearing is her ability to laugh about the experience years later, transforming what was once an awkward memory into an entertaining anecdote for her audience.
"It's one of those moments we can all relate to," she reflected, "when you meet someone you admire and suddenly forget how to be a normal human being."
Her willingness to share such vulnerable moments continues to endear her to fans, proving that even after decades in the spotlight, she remains one of Hollywood's most relatable stars.
