Like many people in show-biz, stand-up comedian Gabriel Iglesias has had a difficult time dating.

Iglesias, wearing an ET: The Extra-Terrestrial button-up shirt, appeared on this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, where a conversation about his senior chihuahua’s recent quinceañera quickly pivoted to one about his dating life when host Drew Barrymore asked if he was “seeing anybody.”

“Oh, God. Really? We were doing so good!” he joked.

Due to his nearly 30 years of Hollywood fame, Iglesias told Barrymore that “dating is very different” for him.

“In my situation, I unfortunately don’t trust anybody because of what I do,” he explained. “It’s just one of those things where anytime I have given people an opportunity to get inside, it hasn’t ended well. And so I’m very scared. I’m very much guarded.”

“I tell people, like, ‘You can get really close. But here’s my heart and there’s a wall and a wall and wall and a wall,'” the actor said, before joking, “I’m like the only Mexican who likes walls,” sending Barrymore and the rest of the audience into hysterics.

Barrymore, for her part, could likely relate to the difficulties of dating nowadays. In a world where online dating has become the new norm, Barrymore once said she would much prefer to “meet someone in real life.”

“I love it in the movies, I love it in real life,” she said in a March 2023 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. “I definitely think when it comes to romance, we’ve got to be more bold and just put ourselves out there a little bit more so that we can have occurrences out in the wild and not just here [on the phone].”

However, that didn’t mean she had written off dating apps altogether.

“I will say the few dates I’ve gone on, I’ve found from an app because no one’s talking to you IRL because they’re hiding in their app for rejection or success,” she said at the time. “I am like, ‘Let’s just do this in person more. Let’s trust that it will all be OK. And be daring.’
