"Drew Barrymore!" a man shouted, introducing himself, prompting the singer to say: "Oh my god. Yes, Hi!"

In the now-viral video, Renee Rapp, who was across Barrymore, was alarmed with the scenario as the man continues to come forward.

He identified himself as "Chad Michael Busto" before shouting "You know who I am. I need to see you at some point while you're in New York."

In response to the man charging forward the stage, Rapp's fight-or-flight instincts took over, which prompted her to bolt from her seat and confidently escorted Barrymore off the stage as security details intercepted the man who was already near them.

Barrymore was seen relieved with Rapp, who placed her hands on Rapp's waits during the said altercation. Moments later after the man was escorted off the venue, Barrymore gushed about Rapp's protectiveness.

Rapp detailed what happened backstage shortly after the ruckus: "They're like, 'Do you need anything, do you need us to stay? And [Barrymore] was like oh no, I got it, I'm good!'" Barrymore reciprocated the love, telling Rapp that: "Well, I got a new definition of your sexiness, it's that level of protectiveness. That went full bodyguard! You are my Kevin Costner!"
