She’s so brave! On Dec. 20, Drew Barrymore took to Instagram to admit that not everything in Hollywood is as glamorous as it seems. The 43-year-old actress shared a picture of herself hysterically crying following a more glammed up headshot.

“What I propose [is that] some days are great and beautiful,” she began. “Sure, I can be this with two hours of hair and makeup, and amazing photography, and lighting. I also feel beautiful after a sweaty workout… but it all takes work!” Drew continued.

“Which is good, because we can achieve it. What I can’t hide is that some days are difficult and not so pretty (swipe for photo #2) and I realize I am lucky with solvable problems and my gratitude is never-ending. But sometimes life can just get to you and take you down for a minute! But we cry and then pick ourselves up and put one foot in front of the other.” Drew concluded her caption by asking her followers a question: “Can anyone relate?”
