Drew Barrymore Is Being Called “Real And Genuine” After Documenting Her “First Perimenopause Hot Flash” On Live TV While Interviewing Jennifer Aniston And Adam Sandler
You know Drew Barrymore.

The Drew Barrymore ShowRefusing to downplay the experience, Drew candidly said, “I am so hot, I think I’m having my first perimenopause hot flashes.”
The Drew Barrymore ShowIf you didn’t know, perimenopause is “the transitional time around menopause,” per Johns Hopkins Medicine, and is “marked by changes in the menstrual cycle, along with other physical and emotional symptoms.” And hot flashes are just one of many symptoms that people going through perimenopause might experience.

The Drew Barrymore ShowIn response, Jennifer helped Drew readjust her microphone and rubbed her back, while quipping, “Oh, I feel so honored.”
The Drew Barrymore ShowDrew then asked, “I’m so sorry, do you feel this? Or maybe I’m just that excited,” as Jen placed her hand on her neck and felt the heat. Adam then reached over and grabbed Drew’s palm, saying, “Yeah, you got a hot hand.”
The Drew Barrymore Show“Well, I’m so glad I have this moment documented,” Drew said.
The Drew Barrymore ShowViewers at home were quick to praise Drew for candidly acknowledging the moment, noting that they’ve hardly seen celebrities with the same platform speak about hot flashes and perimenopause so openly.
Taylor Hill / WireImage“I don’t know that I have ever heard a celebrity talk about a hot flash in the moment. Thank you for being so real,” one person commented under a TikTok clip of the exchange. “I love that Drew keeps it so real!” echoed another.
@drewbarrymore I either had my first perimenopause hot flash or got really exciting! Maybe both? @thedrewbarrymoreshow

“First time I have ever seen a celebrity announce this in the moment. This is amazing,” someone wrote. “Thanks for always being real and genuine. It shines through in everything you do!” another user said.
Taylor Hill / WireImageAnd fans went on to thank Drew for ultimately helping to destigmatize the subject by speaking about it on her talk show. “not there yet but super grateful for you normalising it,” a fan wrote.
Jose Perez / GC ImagesThis comes just days after Drew discussed her experience with perimenopause during an appearance on CBS Mornings.
Noam Galai / Getty Images for SiriusXMSitting down with host Gayle King and CBS News correspondent Nikki Battiste, Drew recalled the moment that she first realized she was experiencing perimenopause.
CBS Mornings“I realized that I was in perimenopause when I started having my period every two weeks,” she said.
CBS Mornings“One doctor also just told me, like, this could last — on the worst-case scenario — 10 years. And I was like, ‘I will never make it 10 years like this,’” she added.
