Drew Barrymore's Odd Reaction to Finding Hidden Window in Home Divides Fans

Drew Barrymore's bizarre reaction to finding a hidden window in her home has provoked discussion among fans. The video posted to her TikTok, which was reshared on Twitter, has garnered thousands of comments.

The Drew Barrymore Show host, 47, is currently renovating her New York City apartment and recently discovered a window behind some drywall. After removing the material, she became emotional.

"So the people who owned this apartment before me, um, covered up a window," Drew explained to her followers. "I don't know why. And I was like, 'I know there's a window, I know there's a window.' And guess what? There's a window, and we're about to reveal it."

The mom of two, who shares kids Olive Barrymore Kopelman and Frankie Barrymore Kopelman with ex Will Kopelman, began howling before showing off her gorgeous discovery.

"It's so hopeful," the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial alum cried. "It's like something can be so covered up and dark, you pry it open, and create light."

In response, one Twitter user questioned, "But wouldn't she know there was a window from looking from the outside?" A second agreed, writing, "It's almost like you could've walked the perimeter of the building and saw that there was a window there ... " A third added, "Is no one gonna talk about the random barking she did?"

Others, however, were quick to defend the California native. "Some people in the replies have not renovated an old house and it shows. I'm happy she got her window and that it still opened."

Meanwhile, someone else wrote: "I love her SO MUCH bc girlie is living life and seems genuinely so [enamored] with the positives in her life. It's honestly so joyous to see, and I literally wish her every happiness."

Drew moved to the Big Apple to be closer to her ex-husband for their kids. In an interview on Oprah Winfrey's Your Life in Focus virtual series in May 2021, she told viewers, "I thought when I had kids, I wanted this really stable home. Two parents was the goal."

She continued: "I ended up finding myself in divorce. Their dad moved to New York. I didn't want my children to be away from their father, and I love his family. We're very close, and even though we had a divorce, we said, 'Let's not misstep. Let's just carry on like we are a family because we are a family.'"

The actress admitted it was difficult to leave her Los Angeles home of 20 years, noting it was "as hard as the divorce itself."

However, her definition of "home" has since changed. "I've now figured out what the definition of home is. It's wherever we are, it's wherever I am with my kids."
