Drew Barrymore got *very* real in a recent Instagram post. While we like to think that the life of a Hollywood actress is all glitz and glamour, Barrymore is here to remind us that that's not always the case. On Thursday (Dec. 20), the 43-year-old actress shared side by side photos on social media to remind her followers that even the most glamorous-seeming celebrities are people, too.
The first photo is a professional shot of Barrymore in full hair and makeup glam, while the second photo shows Barrymore crying in what appears to be a bathroom. "What I propose some days are great and beautiful," Barrymore captioned the post. "Sure, I can be this with two hours of hair and makeup and amazing photography and lighting. I also feel beautiful after a sweaty workout…"
"But it all takes work! Which is good because we can achieve it. What I can’t hide is that some days are difficult and not so pretty,” she continued, referencing the second photo.
"And I realize I am lucky with solvable problems and my gratitude is never ending, but sometimes life can just get to you and take you down for a minute! But we cry and then pick ourselves up and put one foot in front of the other," Barrymore added.
Barrymore's followers were quick to applaud the actress for her transparency. "Thank you for being so human. You’ve always been such a great inspiration to me! You radiate so much light and positivity. Such a lovely soul," one wrote.
"Thanks for posting this I feel like this sometimes, but I just have to keep going," another added.
