Drew Barrymore has built a entire second career on wearing her heart on her sleeve, but her latest candid reflection might be her most powerful yet.
The beloved talk show host offered a refreshingly honest reminder about where real self-worth actually comes from in a new Instagram upload. She challenged modern beauty standards head-on, reminding fans that their appearance is easily the least interesting thing about them.
Drew Barrymore’s Statement Rings True For Everyone
In a new social media post, Drew Barrymore opened up about real beauty. She said that looks don’t define who a person truly is.
She captioned a video, “You’re beautiful but how you look is the least interesting thing about you!!!!” Barrymore was featured in the clip eating, as other statements surrounding this topic encircled her head.
“Here’s what’s more interesting to me,” she added. “How you feel. Your big heart. Your passions. The way you treat people. Your brilliant mind. What excites you, and how much you care about others.”
Fans quickly responded to Barrymore’s social media upload. They agreed that there are so many other things that are much more important than how a person looks on the outside.
“I love this so much Drew, what a beautiful soul you are,” commented one follower.
A second fan penned, “Being a good person is the chicest of all.”
“The way you care about others is a big one for me too,” noted a third Instagram user.
A fourth admirer noted, “You are all that and so much more. Love you!”
This Isn’t The First Time Drew Has Driven Home This Important Message
Months earlier, Drew Barrymore discussed aging and feeling beautiful in a raw sit-down with fans. It was shared via her Instagram show page.
An audience member asked, “What is your secret to aging gracefully and being so comfortable in your own skin?” The former ’90s star’s honest response was right on point.
“I am, like, ‘do whatever works for you.’ I know this woman who went through so much stuff in her life, and she just did something that made her feel so good about herself,” she began.
“It changed her whole perspective. The only thing I do know is, don’t judge other people because they do things differently.”
Barrymore continued, “We’re all on our own path, and we all have to support each other. I see a lot of turkey neck, or I have moments when [I look in the mirror] and I’m like, ‘oh wow, we’re there now.’”
She added, “I don’t really have a tip necessarily, rather than I want to tell myself not to be so mean to myself. That person looking back at us is us. The kinder, more patient, resilient, loving we can be, the better it is for our mental game.”
The ’90s star concluded, “A smile is better than any lipstick you’ll buy. Stop a dialogue that isn’t eviscerating and so quick to catch a flaw. That might be someone else’s favorite thing about you. How ironic. It isn’t how you look, its how you feel.”
