"Whenever you can go out into the rain … do not miss the opportunity!" the actress shouted with utmost happiness!
Drew Barrymore tasted success at a very young age. She got started as a young child actor in the 1980s in films such as E.T. and Firestarter. But by the time she was as little as 12 years old, she was blacklisted from Hollywood because of her drug addiction.
It also strained her relationship with her mother who institutionalized her when she was 13. She was emancipated from her mother when she was 14, per Insider.
Despite all that she endured at such a tender age, Barrymore has really turned her life over. At 47, she is not just successful in her professional life, her personal life is also in much better shape. What people love the most about Barrymore is the childlike quality she embodies. She has a side to her that really knows how to make the most out of the small joys in life.
Recently, Barrymore is seen soaking up the rain and enjoying herself to the fullest in her video on Instagram. On July 18, 2022, The Drew Barrymore Show host shared a clip of herself rejoicing and smiling in the rain.
"Whenever you can go out into the rain … do not miss the opportunity!" the actress shouted with utmost happiness, according to USA Today.
The video went viral, for it showed how little it takes to make a person really happy, and soon it was shared and reshared all over the internet! "I want to love anything as much as Drew Barrymore loves everything. Perfection," wrote content creator Michael Brown in a tweet sharing the clip.
"She’s the most full of joy, funny, darling person ever. As you can tell. This is really her," wrote actress Kristen Johnston.
"You’re amazing," commented editor Michelle Lee on Barrymore's Instagram post. Jay Shetty and Paris Hilton were some of the other big names who left a comment under the post.
Though the reaction to her post was mostly positive with people praising her for her simplicity, some also took the opportunity to criticize her for her actions. "Not having to worry about money seems amazing," one Twitter user wrote. Some even made comments about how she was doing this as a publicity stunt and that it meant nothing.
What a beautiful soul! I wish I’d been born with that temperament.

But people soon came to her defense with one person sharing how she did go through some tough times as a child.
"People being rude about this clearly forget how much Drew Barrymore went through as a child star," one user tweeted. "The fact she lives a life filled with soooo much joy makes me smile every time."
Another person spoke about how Barrymore's video reminded them of their own childhood. "When I saw this earlier today, I felt like I was looking at the little Drew, who didn’t have a chance at a normal childhood, playing in the rain in her adult body. I’m so happy for her."
It's great to see her enjoy live. Her childhood(as /a majority of child actors), according to media, was ah troublesome. But as an adult she always seemed to enjoy live. It's my motto, "Only get high on life", it is such a precious gift! We all should enjoy it in its entirety!
