Charlize Theron & Drew Discuss Being on Breaks From Relationships & Dating

https://youtu.be/7PPV_V4c7OQ?t=130

Drew: We actually have something in common too which I’ve heard you’re on a break from relationships. I’m so in love with my children. I have this love in my life that is so impactful and I’ve spent my life trying to figure out men for 45 years, I’m like I’m tired, I’m bored, it’s all about the kids.

Charlize: Yeah, I completely know what you’re saying and it is strange for people to wrap their heads around it. I’ve been on a few dates but I haven’t dated anybody in over 5 years.

Drew: Me too.

Charlize: …I’m open when friends of mine are like you should go on a date or you should meet this guy. I’m always open but I feel like I’m in a place in my life where you’ve got to come with a lot of game, not the kind of game we think of, the kind of game that’s like my life is really good so you better be able to bring that any maybe better because I just won’t accept anything less. And my life with my children and my incredible adopted family that I have around me I don’t long for that much. I can honestly say this on my life, I don’t feel lonely. Once I had my children, it’s not that it replaces something or makes you less interested in something else. I was just two seconds ago talking about a dude that I thought was really hot. I’m still firing on all cylinders. I think your priorities are in a place that is of high demand because it’s a lot of work to be a parent. Part of that, at the end of the day I get in bed and I go I wouldn’t want this day to be anything different.

Drew: I always say I would want someone to be an addition if not the equation and never a subtraction.

Drew: How are your kids right now?

Charlize: My mind is blown by that as well. I have to tell you, there is a part of all of this that is so devastating. We are really truly living in a whole new world and when I look at my children and how they are adapting to it so well. The other day I walked out of the house and I had to walk back into the house because I forgot my mask.  And I realized my children don’t forget their masks, they literally always have their masks on them. I’m the one that always forgets my mask and has to go back in. They have just embraced that this is what their world is right now. I have to say even the homeschooling when we went into the first lockdown it was really really hard because they are kids right? And so they just don’t fully comprehend but by now they figured out, okay this is what it is and it’s really different and they’ve kind of embraced this now. They still can share they miss their friends and that they miss going to school but at the same time they are just not dwelling on it which is so incredible. They are just moving on with it.

 

Drew & Charlize on Their Tumultuous Upbringings

https://drewbarrymoreshow.cimediacloud.com/r/5f80DdOgKOP3

Charlize: I was raised in a country during a time that was filled with a lot of turmoil, apartheid, I was raised during the apartheid era. I was white and I was privileged. I witnessed how my privileged for years while I was a young child got me to places that didn’t afford to other people with a different skin color and it really traumatized me.  Then of course I had my own family issues my father was an alcoholic, he was really sick, there was a time there was no AA in South Africa. In South African culture it’s just what a man does, so I was raised in a lot of things when I look at my kids now they are going to have their own trauma somehow of course right? But to have a little bit of calmness in the home environment. That’s the other reason why I’m not so eager to jump into relationship because I am so proud of the fact that my kids live in the home where they feel safe. And they are never going to have to walk on eggshells. They are never going to have to come down and worry about how their day is going to go because mom’s boyfriend is not, I don’t want any of that because that’s how I was raised and It leaves marks on you for sure.

Drew: My dad was an alcoholic too and it was because of all those things that made us the parents we are today. The women we are. And, I’m so grateful for my wacky circumstances because they’ve made me so not a victim and so demanding of having goodness around me and being such a protective lion and maybe I wouldn’t have been like that had I not seen the crap I saw growing up.

Charlize: Yeah right, we’ll never know. I do want to say this I love that about you. I love that you have just made such a definitive decision to just go through your life with joy and happiness and to actively move towards that and you do that so, so beautifully.

Tyra Teaches Drew to Smize

https://youtu.be/KM_QXFcn7c8?t=39

Drew: I love you so much for so many reasons. At the top of the list I wanted to know if you could come here and be the authority on letting us all know if it’s going to be okay and people are going to know we are smizing at them. How to smize. Teach us guru.

Tyra: I got you Drew. I got you. How many times have you been out and about walking and you have on your mask and you think someone is being really mean to you or rude? It’s not that they are, it’s just that they are smiling with their mouth and not with their eyes so they just look evil. So it’s important…yes Drew. So we have to smile with our eyes. I created smizing really just about having an intense look and gaze in a photo, I never thought in a million years it would mean so much more and come to mean so much more and be so important today with us wearing masks. I always say in order to get the right smize you have to think of something that delights you. What delights you Drew?

Drew: My daughters make me smize.

Tyra: I want you to think about your daughters….your eyes begin to squint, your mouth becomes slightly numb and all the energy comes up here and you’re like yeah baby. Now a smize doesn’t just mean I’m fierce. A smize today means thank you or a smize means you go first or a smize means I’m going to be here during this difficult time you are going through right now. So it means so much and so it’s so important to use these muscles here and not just the muscles here.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones on How #ShareTheMicNow Happened

https://drewbarrymoreshow.cimediacloud.com/r/ELfuFJVsElMR

Drew: How did you select the women you chose to start this initiative with?

Luvvie: When we decided to ShareTheMicNow we were like we want to pick women who have already used their voices in some way to speak up about racial injustice. They are the people who have already said Black Lives Matter. So me and Bozoma got with Glennon and said, ‘Let’s do this in this big way.’ Glennon said, ‘Okay I’ll be back, I’ll go talk to some white women who I respect and see if they say yes.’ Glennon said, ‘Hey I just need you to hand over your Instagram account for a day to a black woman who is amazing, are you down?’ And everyone said yes without question. She would come back and be like, ‘Hillary Clinton just said yes, Brene Brown just said yes, Jen Hatmaker just said yes. Once we had the white women who were prominent confirmed we went to black women whose voices we really loved and whose voices needed bigger platform to be heard.

Drew: How did you pair the women? I thought that process was really interesting to me as well.

Luvvie: We actually called a zoom and had everyone join us. I’m thinking assistants are going to join us. I’m thinking assistants are going to join us but when I’m seeing Tarana Burke, Ashley Judd all without making up at 7 in the morning. I’m like, this is special.  We decided to pair people up based on industry who we thought would easily match like Gwyneth Paltrow and Latham Thomas or chemistry like Esther Perel and Yvette Noel Schure. So we created those pairs and just hope magic would and magic did happen because some of those pairs are now collaborators. They work together continuing to talk and actually have built friendships with each other.
