On a recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, Barrymore had a chance to talk to Kate Hudson, who appeared as a guest to talk about her new movie, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (which is streaming now on Netflix, btw).

“You looking for the actor? That's not me,” Lucas said with a chuckle, to which Barrymore responded, “I’m so sorry! We’re crank-calling people right now.”
