Drew Barrymore held up an “I love Jake Gyllenhaal” sign at the premiere of series two of The Santa Clarita Diet.

The American actress proclaimed her love for her Donnie Darko co-star after branding him the “least talented” out of a bunch of actors she has worked alongside to get out of eating a turkey testicle.

Barrymore was faced with ranking three of her co-stars - Gyllenhaal, Adam Sandler and Hugh Grant - or chowing down on genitals on The Late Late Show with James Corden.

But Barrymore went one further than her on-air apology when she held up the handmade sign on the carpet on Thursday.

She posed for photos on the red carpet, dressed all in red, as she brandished the placard, complete with a red heart.

On Wednesday, the star was given a task to rank the actors based on their talent during the Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts segment, which she played with the comedian and John Boyega.

The host asked Barrymore if her saying “Adam, Hugh, Jake” was in order and The Santa Clarita Diet had no problems confirming her listing – although she did offer an apology.

She said: “Jake Gyllenhaal, so I don't have to eat a turkey's ball. When I run into him next time, I'll be like, 'Dude, it was like selling you down the river or eating turkey balls'

“Oh, god...I literally am doing this because I won't make it. I'm going to [vomit] all over the place.

“I'm sorry, Jake. It was the turkey testicle!”
