It turns out that Barrymore and Holland actually go way back — specifically, 2011, as Drew revealed in an Instagram post with a photo of when the two of them first met.
Barrymore shared the memory and mentioned that she first saw the photo surface on a Tom Holland IG fan account, and she "didn’t know there was a record of this pic!"

"I remember meeting you what was it? 2011?," Barrymore wrote. "And I was so captivated by you. And I had just watched your movie and we were meeting about a project I was going to direct and I truly thought you were the most impressive and incredible person as well as such an extraordinary talent!"
