Drew Barrymore was “horrified” to remember one flight she took with today’s Drew Barrymore Show guest Tituss Burgess after she revealed she got “too drunk” on the plane.
The Schmigadoon! actor appeared on the daytime talk show to promote the second season of his Apple TV+ series. But before they could get into it, he reminded Barrymore of the one vacation they took together.
“Do you know that you and I went on a vacation together?” Burgess asked as he settled into his seat, to which Barrymore stared blankly, seemingly attempting to figure out what the heck he was talking about.
“We went to the Bahamas,” he said as he tried to jog her memory. “Liev Schreiber was on the plane.”
Finally, it all came back to Barrymore as she shamefully replied, “Ohhhh, yeah.”
She added, “Oh my gosh, um, OK. That was really fun. I have a really weird backstory to that trip that I just — oh, my God.”
The actress-turned-talk show host went on to reveal that she got “too drunk on that flight” and was “horrified.” When she admitted that it was “so embarrassing,” Burgess pointed out, “It was a tiny plane and you could feel all the bumps. It was awful. I mean, it was fun. But it was awful.”
Barrymore then tried to save face as she told her guest, “I’m so, like, mortified. I’ve changed my life a lot since that flight.”
While we’re not completely sure about the details behind the “embarrassing” moment, Barrymore has been open about her struggles with alcohol following her 2016 divorce from Will Kopelman, with whom she shares two children.
Late last year, she said she was coping with alcohol “to numb the pain and feel good” after her breakup. However, on a recent episode of Drew, she revealed that she’s almost four years sober.
