Goldstein told Barrymore<\/a> that he\u2019d watched her show before, and was all too familiar with her touchy tactics \u2015 which he planned to employ himself. <\/p>\n

\u201cDrew, I have made a deal with myself,\u201d the comedian said as he got closer to Barrymore. \u201cI\u2019ve seen your show, and every time you move nearer me, I\u2019m gonna move nearer you. So this is now a game of chicken, OK?\u201d <\/p>\n

Barrymore joked that she was game, saying, \u201cWow, someone\u2019s gonna give me a run for my money, OK! I\u2019ll take it.\u201d <\/p>\n

The \u201cE.T.\u201d actor also shared that her penchant for being touchy-feely isn\u2019t an act. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you see me walking down the street with someone, I will be holding their hand, I\u2019ll be arm in arm, I\u2019ll be hugging them. Like, none of this is fake,\u201d she insisted. \u201cIf anything, I really do have to restrain myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a daytime show, right?\u201d Goldstein asked. \u201cSo there\u2019s limits.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cEhhhh,\u201d Barrymore said, shrugging off the suggestion. <\/p>\n

The two remained within a comfortable distance of each other until Barrymore got to a question about her 2004 film \u201c50 First Dates.\u201d <\/p>\n

Watch the action between the two unfold below: <\/p>\n

Fans have expressed discomfort over the way Barrymore has gotten close to some of her guests, including Martha Stewart and Oprah Winfrey. <\/p>\n

But never fear; Winfrey defended Barrymore after the host stroked her arm during their interview<\/a>. Afterward, Winfrey insisted she was \u201cnot uncomfortable at all\u201d during her appearance on the talk show. <\/p>\n

The \u201cCharlie\u2019s Angel\u201d star is also aware of her habit of getting too tactile with guests, and said in an interview last year that she\u2019s working on it. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll try to practice physical distance, which is not my strong point,\u201d she told Entertainment Tonight<\/a> at the time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Goldstein told Barrymore that he\u2019d watched her show before, and was all too familiar with her touchy tactics…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,13355,447,76959,134,13361],"class_list":{"0":"post-166836","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-brett-goldstein","11":"tag-celebrities","12":"tag-drew-barrymore","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ted-lasso"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
