Drew Barrymore dedicated Friday's episode of her talk show — which centered on breast cancer awareness — to her costar Ross Mathews' late mother.
Mathews remembered his mother's battle with breast cancer during a new segment on the show called "Take Care Everywhere," which tackles health issues that people may be too uncomfortable with to discuss with their doctors.My mom was the best… My mom was named Gay Mathews. Can you believe it? Gay and gayer Mathews. She thought that was so funny," the queer star joked.
An emotional Mathews, who held Barrymore's hand throughout the segment, said he learned "so much being up close and personal with her" throughout the process. "It was so heartbreaking, but it also taught me so much about strength and family and love. How strong she was and how much I loved her and still do. It was such a gift to have that time."He added that the experience taught him the importance of "having the hard conversations" in life.
