Drew Barrymore found her guardian "Snow Angel" in Reneé Rapp, thanks to an unexpected fan encounter.

Barrymore was speaking with the "Sex Lives of College Girls" star about her debut album "Snow Angel" on Monday as part of a speaking engagement at 92nd Street Y, a cultural and community center in New York City.

Barrymore and Rapp's conversation was interrupted when an audience member shouted Barrymore's name, according to video of the incident shared on social media. USA TODAY has not independently verified the video.

"Oh my God, yes. Hi," Barrymore said, to which the audience member responded, "You know who I am. I need to see you at some point while you're in New York."

As the audience member approached the stage, Rapp promptly got out of her seat and escorted Barrymore off the stage as security guards seemingly apprehended the individual, the video showed.

USA TODAY has reached out to representatives for Barrymore, Rapp and 92NY for comment.

Following the encounter, Barrymore and Rapp returned to the stage to resume the interview. The "Drew Barrymore Show" host praised Rapp for her response to the incident.

"Well, I have a new definition of your sexiness. It's that level of protectiveness," Barrymore told Rapp, followed by a joking reference to the 1992 film "The Bodyguard." "That went full 'Bodyguard.' "

To show her appreciation, Barrymore then got out of her seat to give Rapp a hug.

"You are my Kevin Costner," Barrymore added, with Rapp replying, "I’ll be that."
