Drew Barrymore Hilariously Dresses Up As Dwayne Johnson Meme

Drew Barrymore has got to be one of the best talk show hosts. There are no lengths the actress-turned-host won't go to for her precious guests. During The Drew Barrymore Show's Wednesday (March 13) episode, Drew surprised and tickled Dwayne Johnson with her latest bit.

As "The Rock" walked out, in footage posted by her talk show's official Instagram, the former wrestler was rendered speechless as he stepped on stage next to Barrymore. It is near impossible to keep a straight face when looking at the host, who was wearing a smile and so much more. While dressing up as the viral Dwayne Johnson meme of wearing a stuffed black turtleneck complete with fake muscles, light jeans, a fanny pack, and a gold chain, Drew had to add some finishing touches to really go all-out. She also wore a short, curly black wig and thick sideburns.

When Johnson reaches her and the two embrace, he says, "Oh my God, that is amazing!" Unsure if he was uncomfortable in the moment or truly in awe, the Fast X star motioned his hand toward her for the crowd to continue applauding. Taking her antics to the next level, Drew gets down on one knee and declares, "I love you so much. I do, I love so many things about you."

"May I ask, what body language should I have?" she continued as she attempted to puff her already puffed-up chest. Johnson replies, "I think you just naturally did it." Adding that she's got "bosoms," Barrymore dressed as The Rock made her confidence skyrocket as she hilariously does some insane strutting across the stage.

Later in the segment, Drew challenges Dwayne to squat her because they help "build a strong fanny." Adding to the Instagram caption, she asks, "Can @therock squat The Rock?" As he described where he would pick her up from, Drew excitedly says from standing on the couch, "Like a fireman's carry!"
