Drew Barrymore’s interview with Julia Fox, which included the moment Fox dissed her relationship with Kanye West, is far from the only time her hosting style has gone viral. In April 2023, fans made light fun of Barrymore’s habit of getting super close to her guests as they relayed their most heartbreaking, poignant, or enlightening experiences to her. Although it’s clear that she was attempting to show her guests that she was present and listening, it sometimes read as odd. Fortunately, Barrymore took the jokes in stride. “Not close enough,” she tweeted in response to a fan who noticed her unique interview style.

During an interview with Jimmy Fallon, Barrymore further explained why she’d gravitated towards such personal interviews after Fallon mentioned how close she sat to Brooke Shields. “Yeah, and we got much closer than that at certain points, too,” said Barrymore (via Insider).” I’m on my knees, I’m hugging.” As for the reason Barrymore couldn’t remain seated, she said, “No, I feel this magnetic pull.” She continued, “My therapist would say, ‘You’re not supposed to get attached to things.’ But I’m so attached to this.”
