Drew Barrymore Reflects on Kamala Harris Interview

Drew Barrymore's April 2024 interview with Vice President Kamala Harris has drawn significant attention, with Barrymore describing it as one of the 'scariest' moments in her career. Speaking at the Paley Center, she expressed her anxiety about potentially harming Harris's reputation, saying, 'All I kept thinking was if you do one thing to screw up this woman's path.'

Despite the backlash and criticism of the interview's tone, Barrymore felt an 'electric connection' with Harris, calling it one of the most exciting experiences of her life. The interview went viral for both its cringe-worthy moments and its emotional depth, highlighting the challenges of personal interviews with political figures.
