Drew Barrymore Still Pining Over Elusive Subway Suitor
Actress and talk show personality Drew Barrymore continues to express her infatuation with a mysterious man she encountered on the subway. Following her initial remarks about the charming stranger on a September 2024 broadcast of The Drew Barrymore Show, the host affirmed her ongoing fascination with her transit crush.
“Nanoships” and Subway Encounters
During a recent “Drew’s News” segment, the conversation centered on “nanoships,” a burgeoning dating trend that emphasizes “fleeting yet meaningful moments.” This concept describes brief but impactful connections, such as an engaging conversation with someone at an event, followed by parting ways without expectation of future contact.
Barrymore’s “One-Sided Nanoship”
Barrymore revealed that she believes she has personally experienced a “one-sided nanoship,” referencing her subway encounter.
“I still think about Mr. 6 Train,” she admitted to co-hosts Ross Mathews and Valerie Bertinelli on her show.
Unforgettable Subway Connection
Elaborating on the encounter, Barrymore explained, “I don’t think he really noticed me as much as me noticing him. But there was something about you, sir, that captivated me. I was completely drawn in. I genuinely thought, ‘I might just reach out and try to kiss you, although that would be inappropriate.’”
She further confessed, “My heart accelerated as I sat beside him. I have no idea who he was, I have not seen him subsequently, and yet I will never forget him.”
Searching for Mr. 6 Train
Barrymore noted that she has traveled on the same subway line “numerous times” since their initial meeting, hoping for a chance reunion, but has “never seen him again.”
Past Attempts to Reconnect
Viewers of The Drew Barrymore Show are familiar with the saga of “Mr. 6 Train.” The star of 50 First Dates previously discussed her longed-for soulmate in September, recounting her decision to place a “Missed Connections” advertisement in a newspaper in an attempt to locate him.
Hopes for a Chance Meeting
“I was hopeful that perhaps old-fashioned fate would reunite us,” she stated previously. “But I don’t believe he ever saw the ad. I regret not saying something to him directly at the time.”
