Leave it to “The View” to bring two formerly feuding co-stars together.
Jon Cryer appeared Friday on the daytime talk show and revealed it’s where he and his “Pretty in Pink” co-star, (*25*) McCarthy, turned over a recent leaf.
“He and I famously didn’t get along after we were shooting ‘Pretty in Pink,’” Cryer, 58, reminisced to the women of the ABC talk show.
“It was because there was tension,” he explained. “Interestingly, I saw him backstage and we had a beautiful time, we had a fantastic talk.”
Cryer said he and McCarthy, 61, each appeared on a 2012 episode of “The View” to advertise different projects, however the unexpected work achievement also impacted their personal relationship.
“Pretty in Pink” debuted in 1986 and is often called a “Brat Pack” film as a consequence of its forged, including Molly Ringwald, Harry Dean Stanton, Annie Potts and James Spader.
Cryer said: “At any rate, what I realize now, he wrote a terrific memoir called ‘Brat,’ he was already fighting alcoholism back after we were shooting that movie. I’d projected all these items on him on the time. I believed he’s this sullen guy that doesn’t need to discuss with me.
“We’re enemies [as characters] on the movie, but that doesn’t mean we are able to’t be friends,” he continued. “But we just had no rapport by any means on the time. I discovered later he was going through some tough stuff. That was such a lesson for me, it’s all about projection. You never know.”
McCarthy’s rep told Entertainment Weekly in an announcement that “Jon Cryer has grown into the most endearing, gracious man” — but joked that he wishes “he hadn’t decked me backstage at ‘The View.’”
The Post has contacted reps for McCarthy and Cryer for comment.
Elsewhere in the episode, Cryer shot down any hope of ever returning to a “Two and a Half Men” reboot. He said he hasn’t spoken to his former co-star, Charlie Sheen, 58, in several years but is blissful to listen to that the once-troubled star — “Winning!” — is “doing so much higher.”
“The thing for me is, when ‘Two and a Half Men’ was happening, Charlie was the highest-paid actor in television, probably ever,” Cryer explained. “There was no person who has surpassed the big amount of cash that he was making. And yet he blew it up.
“So, you sort of should think — I like him, I wish him the most effective,” he added. “I hope that he should live in good health for the remaining of his life — but I don’t know if I need to get in business with him for any length of time.”
