Drew Barrymore hopes people will become "more comfortable with physical touch" after sparking mixed reactions with her intimate interviews.
The "50 First Dates" star, 49, revealed Tuesday that she has been told not to be so touchy-feely with her guests on her daytime talk show.
In a conversation with "Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo, Barrymore asked the actress if it's true that her co-star, Ariana Grande, is "as touchy" as she is. Erivo and Grande frequently held hands during interviews for the blockbuster musical.
"I'm so touchy," Barrymore pointed out. "People have to warn me. They're like, 'Back off a little bit.'"
She went on say, "I'm single. I'm not dating anyone. I don't have that in my life. But I don't know how I would ever hold back from holding hands, hugging, snuggling."

Erivo clearly didn't have an issue with this, though. She and Barrymore held hands during their conversation about physical intimacy, and the Oscar nominee told the host, "I'm like the welcoming Capricorn that's like, 'I love you. We can touch.'"

Erivo also argued that people are too "afraid" of physical connection because they assume it can "only be romantic," adding, "How we communicate sometimes is by physical touch. … That's sometimes how (Grande) and I communicate."
"If we could all more comfortable with physical touch, I would like that world," Barrymore agreed.
Barrymore recently interviewed Grande on "The Drew Barrymore Show," and the two were similarly physically intimate, holding hands numerous times throughout their conversation.
The talk show host is known for her famously touchy interviews with guests, which have sometimes been received negatively online.
Last year, a conversation with Oprah Winfrey, during which the actress and the media mogul grasped one another's hands and sat close to one another, went viral, with one comment on a clip of the interview saying, "Drew doesn't have any personal space and I'm uncomfortable."
Martha Stewart seemingly agreed with this sentiment last month, when she playfully pushed Barrymore away from her after the host got too close. "You're the wrong gender," Stewart quipped.
Speaking with Dax Shepard on the show in September, Barrymore noted "a lot of people" say she's "too touchy."
"I'm horrified when I hear that. And yet I can't stop," she said, proceeding to pet Shepard's arm.
Shepard, who said Barrymore had permission to touch him, told her, "It is helpful that you're an average-sized lady. If you were my size manhandling everyone, it might be a little different."
