Barrymore explained she was going through a breakup and planned to spend the night at Liu’s house. However, her grief led to some unconventional behavior. “She rang the gate and was hiding,” Liu recalled, laughing. “You came out of the bushes with leaves in your hair and said, ‘I don’t want him to see me here!’”

“And I was like, ‘What are you doing? Get in the house!'”

The duo’s bond began on the set of the 2000 hit 'Charlie’s Angels' where they starred alongside Cameron Diaz. Barrymore has often described their connection as magnetic, dubbing them a “tripod” of sisterhood.
