Drew Barrymore got candid about her body insecurities during an emotional moment on “The Drew Barrymore Show” this week. The 51-year-old host became visibly tearful during a fashion makeover segment when guest Dawn Benwood opened up about her own struggles with wearing “form-fitting clothing.” Drew Barrymore, who shares daughters Olive, 13, and Frankie, 11, with ex-husband Will Kopelman, said the story hit especially close to home.

As she connected with Benwood, Barrymore didn’t hold back when sharing her own experience. “I so related. I really did,” she said through tears. “The other day, I was walking down the street, and I’ve had two C-sections, and I’m so wrecked down there that I permanently just…I can’t wear a lot of different types of pants.”

She continued, “The other day I was walking around, and I had this shorter shirt on, and I couldn’t keep my jacket closed. And I’m walking around, and I was [thinking], I don’t want anyone to see this.”

The former child star added that she deeply understands the changes that come with motherhood and aging. “When you have kids, and you have a busy life, and your body changes and you get older, and things just aren’t the same,” she explained.

Despite her vulnerability, she made sure to lift up her guest. “And I’ve gotta tell you, I’m looking at you and all I see is just your beautiful hard work that I only know because you told us, I wouldn’t know otherwise, and you look so stunning,” the actress continued.

Still, she admitted there are certain items she’s sworn off for good. “I’ll never wear those pair of jeans again,” Barrymore said. “We all can find something that fits us right.”

“Aging is a privilege. It is not something to fear,” she said alongside the clip.
