Ross Mathews<\/strong><\/a>\u2019 first viewing of ET<\/em> is going to be special as he plans on seeing the film with pal Drew Barrymore<\/strong><\/a> and her family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to watch it with her and her girls,\u201d Mathews, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em> earlier this week while attending the annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City. \u201cI was born in 1979 and I just missed it and then my older brother never wanted to rewatch movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since joining The Drew Barrymore Show<\/em><\/a> in 2020, Mathews and Barrymore, 49, have struck up a strong friendship. He gushed to Us about what a \u201cdoll\u201d she is and how everyone recalls to him about a sweet encounter they had with Barrymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow that I work with her, I find it difficult to watch her movies now,\u201d he told Us. \u201cBecause I just think to myself, \u2018Why is Drew acting like somebody else?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tGirl gang! Drew Barrymore is a proud mother to her two daughters, Olive and Frankie. \u201cIt\u2019s like constantly playing mental chess on how to get something done in that moment, and I hope I\u2019m doing it as gracefully as possible,\u201d the\u00a0Never Been Kissed\u00a0actress quipped to\u00a0InStyle\u00a0in July 2015 of parenthood. \u201cIt\u2019s so amazing\u2014after your kid is [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Barrymore got her first big break starring in the Steven Spielberg<\/strong> classic at 7 years old. The film premiered in 1982, and the world was introduced to Barrymore as Gertie, the lovable younger sister of Elliot (Henry Thomas<\/strong>) who befriends the extraterrestrial creature.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery person that I meet and who has met her has a story about her. It\u2019s not just that they met,\u201d Mathews explained to Us<\/em>. \u201cIt\u2019s that they met her and she tied their shoes or she told them they had toilet paper stuck on the bottom of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mathews shared that Barrymore is such a strong \u201ccommunicator\u201d which \u201cdrives her.\u201d He also credited her passion to being one of the main reasons why the talk show is such a success amongst viewers.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur show can be outrageous and ridiculous and yet cringy sometimes in the way that goes viral,\u201d he told Us<\/em>. \u201cBut it\u2019s always real and it\u2019s always authentic.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Mathews, being unapologetically themselves is one of the many things he and Barrymore \u201chave in common.\u201d<\/p>\n
