Drew Barrymore was rushed off stage at an event in New York on Monday after an “alleged stalker” ambushed her and tried to talk to her.
As reported by TMZ, the Charlie’s Angels actress, 48, was interviewing Reneé Rapp in front of a live audience this week when the fan approached her and yelled out.
“Hi,” Drew said as the man approached.
“You know who I am, I need to see you at some point,” he replied, before being stopped by security.

Eventually Barrymore went back on stage and said to Rapp: ”That level of protectiveness, you went full bodyguard. You are my Kevin Costner!”
