Drew Barrymore is known for her candidness.
On Monday’s episode of “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the host became emotional during a segment focused on makeovers.
Addressing women who had experienced significant body changes, such as substantial weight loss or multiple pregnancies, Barrymore opened up about her personal struggles with body image.
With tears in her eyes, she confessed, “I really related to this. I truly did,” and continued, “Just the other day, I was walking down the street… having had two C-sections has left me so affected that I find it difficult to wear many types of pants.”
Barrymore is a mother to two daughters, Olive, 13, and Frankie, 11, whom she shares with her former 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.”
