In July, Barrymoretold PEOPLE during an interviewthat she “didn’t have any preconceived notions about what would happen” when she posted the video; it was simply a way to express the importance of “living in the moment.”
“I’m such a hippie that when I see the rain, I just think I want to go out in it and have a little baptism from Mother Nature and be free and not worried for a second,” she told PEOPLE. “Because I do worry and stress a lot. I’m also not a hippie [sometimes] and really a person who wants to have action and be a business person and get things done. And with that comes a tremendous amount of pressure and stress…Rain is a signal for me to let go and stop overthinking everything.”
It wasn’t the first timeThe Stand-Inactress shared her love for precipitation. Back in May,Barrymore posted a similar videoon social media with the same message. “If it’s raining anywhere you are, just run out in the rain,” she said at the time. “Don’t miss the opportunity.”
