Though "The View" is known for its on-air spats, Jon Cryer and his "Pretty in Pink" co-star Andrew McCarthy amicably ended their feud on the daytime talk show.
"He and I famously did not get along when we were shooting 'Pretty in Pink,'" Cryer told "The View's" co-hosts Friday morning after host Sara Haines asked him about the feud. "It was because there was tension. Interestingly, I saw him backstage, and we had a lovely time; we had a great talk."
McCarthy and Cryer starred opposite Molly Ringwald in the 1986 cult classic John Hughes film.
Cryer was on "The View" to promote his new show, "Extended Family," on Friday morning. Previously, more than a decade ago, Cryer and McCarthy each appeared on an episode of"The View" in 2012 to promote respective projects during their feud.
John Cryer learned Andrew McCarthy was going through 'some tough stuff' while filming 'Pretty in Pink'
Cryer said Friday that he better understood the tension between him and McCarthy after reading the latter's "terrific" 2021 memoir "Brat," which chronicled his time as a member of the "Brat Pack."
"He was already struggling with alcoholism back when we were shooting that movie. I'd projected all this stuff on him at the time, I thought, 'He's this sullen guy that doesn't want to talk to me.' We're enemies (in) the movie, but that doesn't mean we can't be friends," Cryer said.
"But we just had no rapport whatsoever at the time. I found out later he was going through some tough stuff. That was such a lesson for me. It's all about projection. You never know," he continued.
On a lighter note, Cryer joked that McCarthy still has his recognizable head of hair, which he has had since they originally shot the film in the '80s.
While Cryer said he has reunited with McCarthy, he has no plans to get back in business with former "Two and a Half Men" co-star Charlie Sheen. Sheen, who has long struggled with addiction, was famously fired from the show in 2011 after a drug-fueled tirade against co-creator Chuck Lorre.
"I love him, I wish him the best," Cryer said. "He should live in good health for the rest of his life, but I don't know if I want to get in business with him for any length in time." He added that he would be open to considering a one-off collaboration.
