- Joy Behar welcomed fellow *Hiding Out* star Jon Cryer to *The View* for an interview after they starred in the 1987 film.

- Behar said the director of the film, Bob Giraldi, made her cry on set because he "wasn't nice to me."

- The comedian said she got revenge by trashing him on TV after production ended.

Joy Behar just brought out 40 years' worth of beef to *The View*'s Hot Topics table.

The 83-year-old comedian and actress welcomed her former *Hiding Out* costar Jon Cryer for an interview Friday on the daytime talk show, but aired out some dirty laundry before the discussion got going.

"How are you? Welcome back to the show. You were here several years ago, I think," Behar told Cryer, who said, "You and I? Destiny always brings us back together."

Behar replied, "We did a movie together one time, *Hiding Out*. I got in trouble," adding that she "started crying and everything" on the set of the 1987 comedy directed by Bob Giraldi.

"The director wasn't nice to me. So, I started crying," Behar alleged. "And then I trashed him on TV, mercilessly!" Cryer then quipped, "See, so it all worked out!"

According to a synopsis, *Hiding Out* followed "a young Boston stockbroker on the run from the mob" who "decides to hide out in his little cousin's small town, and accidentally enrolls as a high school student."

Behar — who did not elaborate on *The View* about what allegedly happened during production — played a minor character named Gertrude in the film, while Cryer led the cast of the film.

** has reached out to representatives for Behar, Cryer, and Giraldi for comment.

*Hiding Out* didn't fare well with critics at the time of release, with the project holding a 38 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It also fizzled at the box office, grossing around $7 million across its theatrical run, on a reported budget totaling around the same amount.
