I need to see you at some point while you’re in New York.”As he spoke, a bodyguard stepped in, as well as Rapp, 23, who can be seen putting her arm around Barrymore’s waist as she escorts her off the stage.Scary moment, thankfully security took care of it. #drewbarrymore #reneerapp Thankfully, the “Music and Lyrics” star was able to make a return to the event just moments later and was met with an enormous round of applause from the audience.“By the way, just to be clear, the second they were like, ‘Ok, we’re good,’ I was like, ‘Hey, do you need anything, do you need to sit?’ She was like, ‘Oh, no, I got it — I’m good,'” Rapp said of Barrymore when the two sat back down on stage.“Well, I have a new definition of your sexiness — it’s the protectiveness that went full ‘Bodyguard’!” Barrymore said in response, referencing the 1992 film.

Then, in a sweet moment, Barrymore got up from her seat to give Rapp a big embrace.“You are my Kevin Costner!” she joked, referencing the actor, who starred in the movie alongside Whitney Houston.
