Drew Barrymore, the beloved actress and talk show host, recently experienced her first hot flash during an interview with Friends star Jennifer Aniston and her Murder Mystery 2 co-star Adam Sandler. The milestone moment happened on the set of The Drew Barrymore Show, where she exclaimed, “I am so hot, I think I’m having my first perimenopause hot flashes,” before taking off her blazer and fanning herself. The exchange was lighthearted, with Aniston joking that she felt “honored” and both Aniston and Sandler touching Barrymore’s hands to feel her “internal heat.”
Barrymore’s candid revelation highlights the realities of menopause and the often-uncomfortable symptoms that women experience. The actress shared that she had recently attended a panel discussion about menopause with Oprah, indicating a growing openness about discussing this topic publicly. While hot flashes are a common symptom of menopause, they can also be a sign of perimenopause, which is the transitional period leading up to menopause.
Barrymore’s willingness to share her experience on national TV may help break down some of the stigma surrounding menopause and encourage more women to talk openly about this natural transition. As she said, “Well, I’m so glad I have this moment documented.”
