Here’s a quick quiz: Rank Adam Sandler, Hugh Grant, and Jake Gyllenhaal, from most to least talented.
If you’re a sane person, you’d probably rank Jake Gyllenhaal as the most talented, right? If you put him at #2, you better have a damn good reason. And if you actually had the nerve to rank him as the least talented, then someone needs to test your mental capacity. So, with that in mind, someone needs to check on Drew Barrymore because we think she might be losing it.
Barrymore recently appeared on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” and as these late night shows do, James Corden made her and poor John Boyega play a silly game instead of conducting a regular interview. The game is simple. You either answer an awkward question or eat a gross food. One of the questions Drew Barrymore was asked was the question above. Instead of eating turkey testicles, which we admit sounds gross, she immediately spits out Jake Gyllenhaal’s name as least talented.
She then fought with herself on which would be #1 and #2, between Sandler and Grant. Her final lineup, from most talented to least talented, was Adam Sandler, Hugh Grant, and Jake Gyllenhaal. She said, “By the way, I don’t even care if [Gyllenhaal] hates me…”
And for those that need a refresher, Barrymore co-starred with Gyllenhaal in the 2001 film, “Donnie Darko.” While Gyllenhaal might have been young, and not quite as his “Nightcrawler” level yet, he still would have acted circles around Adam Sandler. While Sandler has dipped his toes into honest acting, he’s still the guy that routinely puts out some of the worst films on the planet.
No matter her thoughts, Barrymore almost certainly should have eaten the turkey balls. Let’s be real, she might have gagged and maybe threw it back up, but at least she would have saved herself from true embarrassment.
