Drew Barrymore shared an emotional moment on her talk show when she suddenly recognised a flight attendant who helped her during hardest times in her life.
The actress reunited with the woman during Wednesday’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.
They first met about four years ago on a flight, when Barrymore was struggling with her life and trying to stop drinking.
The flight attendant remembered finding Barrymore crying in the galley.
She showed Barrymore a photo from that day and explained how they had sat together while Barrymore cried.
Barrymore became emotional as she remembered the moment, saying: “That was a really, really hard year; it was actually the year I stopped drinking.”
She, however, also explained that getting sober did not suddenly fix everything.
“When you stop drinking, it’s not like all your problems go away; there’s still a ton of work to be done,” she said.
Barrymore talked openly about how alcohol affected her life, sharing that she used drinking because she did not want to feel her emotions.
During the reunion, Barrymore thanked the flight attendant for being there when she needed someone.
She said their meeting happened for a reason and told her, “I love you.”
The two hugged again as the audience applauded, turning an old painful memory into a touching reunion.
