Ethan Hawke confesses 1990s crush to Drew Barrymore

During an appearance on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’, actor Ethan Hawke revealed that he had considered dating Drew Barrymore during the 1990s. Hawke explained that he refrained from making a move at the time because he wanted a potential relationship to happen ‘organically’ and was attempting to ‘play it cool.’

Barrymore reacted playfully to the revelation, jokingly questioning why Hawke had not reached out to her during that era. The two industry veterans discussed their mutual awareness of one another throughout their careers, noting that they had not had the opportunity to connect until this recent appearance.
