Despite feeling hesitant, Aguilera introduced herself as a fan and expressed her enthusiasm about embarking on her debut album journey. Barrymore’s warm and genuine response left a lasting impression on Aguilera, highlighting the true essence of authentic celebrity behaviour, often overshadowed by tabloid narratives.
“I get really shy, especially when I admire someone. I can’t even make eye contact. I’m the weirdest nerd about that kind of thing, too. But I did manage to pluck up the courage to say hi to you one time,” shared Christina on the show. Drew responded, “I’m so glad. That’s how people are supposed to behave.”

Depending on the day, it was incredibly kind of you to be so warm and encouraging,” Christina added, reminiscing about their initial interaction.
