Drew Barrymore is bizarrely lying on the floor pretending to be a sausage in front of Joe Alwyn

Drew Barrymore usually lays down on the floor when beautiful actors come on The Drew Barrymore Show – but today was the first time she did it while pretending to be a sausage.

On this morning’s episode of the popular daytime talk show, actor Joe Alwyn opened up about some of the strange acting exercises he attended while attending drama school.

“I spent an inordinate amount of my life pretending to be an animal,” he said, reflecting on the term he used to do “animal studies.”

According to Alwyn, he and his classmates would go to the London Zoo to study the animals they were assigned.

“People would walk around like real members of the public and see these crazy 21-year-olds rolling around on the floor roaring or grunting,” he recalled. “I was just a sleeping tiger at the time. I hid under a bush.”

However, the strangest thing he ever had to play was a sausage.

“The sausage came into play in a group workshop,” he said. “We went around the room pretending to be a color or something weird like that, and then they said, ‘And now you’re a sausage.’ You kind of think, ‘Okay.’ If you go with that, you’re not really sure on what that means. And then you’re a sausage in a pot, and everyone kind of starts to wiggle and vibrate.”

That’s when Barrymore got up from her chair and laid down on the floor — just as she did when George Clooney posed as her therapist during an October 2022 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.

“Yeah, I definitely imagine—I mean, if I was a sausage, I think I’d be like this,” she said as she lay down on the floor.

“And then in the pot it’s, ‘Ow, ow!'” Barrymore added as she began to squirm on her body.

Alwyn joked that it was “the role of a lifetime”, while Barrymore playfully told him: “I’ve always wanted to play a sausage.”
