Drew Barrymore recently shared a hilarious moment with her fans when she discovered a forgotten, smelly sandwich in her coat pocket. The 49-year-old talk show host took to Instagram on Monday to share her reaction, giving her followers a laugh over the unexpected find.
In the video, Barrymore is seen sitting at a counter, reading a magazine while wearing a navy peacoat and a striped knit beanie. She reaches into her pocket and pulls out the sandwich, exclaiming, “Oh my god, I forgot it!” as she pulls it out. The smell seems to hit her immediately, and she scrunches up her face in disgust. “Ugh!” she adds as she takes a whiff of the sandwich, clearly appalled by its scent, reported by PEOPLE.
“Do you ever just find an old lunch in your pocket? I did! @debraferullomakeup, I’m sorry you had to witness this,” she captioned the post, tagging her makeup artist Debra Ferullo. While Barrymore didn’t go into details about the sandwich, it’s clear it wasn’t a pleasant discovery. She quickly disposed of the smelly remains, laughing off the awkward situation.
Barrymore’s playful moment comes as she continues to focus on her career as the host of The Drew Barrymore Show after announcing her retirement from acting in 2021. She shared her thoughts on stepping away from acting in an interview with SiriusXM’s Radio Andy, saying, “I don’t want to be on a film set right now, but that could change when my kids are older.” Barrymore, who shares daughters Olive and Frankie with ex-husband Will Kopelman, has expressed her love for her current role in television and her focus on raising her children.
