It was awful.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And asked if she had implemented her pledge in August last year that she would work on &#8220;practicing physical distance&#8221; with her guests in 2025, she admitted: &#8220;It&#8217;s not [going] good.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The &#8216;Miss You Already&#8217; star admitted she worries about her breath being fresh when she gets close to her guests.<\/p>\n<p>\nAsked if she had ever pulled away because one of her interviewees had bad breath, she said: &#8220;All I&#8217;m thinking about also is, &#8216;How&#8217;s my breath?&#8217; Here&#8217;s the best news, no one has had bad breath yet and I am like pupil to pupil and nobody has had bad breath.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn December, a clip from the &#8216;Drew Barrymore Show&#8217; went viral after guest Martha Stewart playfully pushed the host away mid-conversation when she got too close, but the &#8216;Never Been Kissed&#8217; actress insisted the lifestyle guru &#8220;really does like&#8221; her.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe said: &#8220;I think she was just teasing. Like Martha, actually, I&#8217;ve never been able to say this before with confidence, but I can now. I think Martha really does like me.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I think the internet just misunderstood the moment and ran with it. When I first was getting to know her I was like, &#8216;I don&#8217;t think she likes me.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;But I think I broke through &#8230; and she doesn&#8217;t dislike me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nDrew previously admitted she had been &#8220;warned&#8221; about getting too close to other people.<\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking to her guest, &#8216;Wicked&#8217; actress Cynthia Erivo, she said: &#8220;I&#8217;m so touchy. People have to warn me, they&#8217;re like, &#8216;Back off a little bit.&#8217; And I&#8217;m like, &#8216;Why?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Physical connection\u2026 I\u2019m single. I\u2019m not dating anyone. I don\u2019t have that in my life, but I don\u2019t know how I would ever hold back from holding hands, hugging, snuggling.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I think if we could all be more comfortable with physical touch, I would like that world.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/drew-barrymore-control-desire-sit-close-guests-1413390.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 February 2025 Drew Barrymore &#8220;can&#8217;t control&#8221; how closely she sits next to her talk show guests.
