Drew Barrymore got a little teary-eyed on Thursday’s episode of her eponymous talk show.

The “Never Been Kissed” star, 48, gathered her old co-stars from her 1994 western flick “Bad Girls” for a reunion, which included Mary Stuart Masterson, Andie MacDowell and Dermot Mulroney.

Barrymore thanked the “Scream 6” actor, 60, for helping her through a few rough times as they shot the movie when she was a teenager.

“You were so good to me, I really was like a lost 17-year-old,” Barrymore said.

“I was having so much fun, but I didn’t know how to take care of myself and you took such good care of me. You were so kind to me.”

“I was really wild, guys,” she jokes to her audience. She went on to thank Mulroney for looking out for her on set.

“I’m so happy to see you,” the “My Best Friend’s Wedding” actor chimed in. “Sorry guys, I cry now. I knew I was gonna and I came anyway. I decided I’m gonna go ahead and cry in public.”

Barrymore’s younger years were marred with trouble, including a rehab stint at the age of 13 due to her hard-partying ways. She also attempted suicide at 14.

“Bad Girls” was directed by Jonathan Kaplan and also starred Madeleine Stowe, James Russo and Robert Loggia.

It followed four ex-sex workers as they break out of jail after a murder.

Barrymore has used her platform to reunite with former castmates before. In March 2023, her “Ever After” co-stars Melanie Lynskey and Megan Dodds appeared on the show dressed in costume 25 years after the beloved film debuted.

“It’s not even a show. We’re just here in a time machine and we’re back 25 years ago because it’s the 25th anniversary of Ever After,” Barrymore said. “I literally can’t even believe I get to be here with my sisters — my stepsisters.”

The 1998 box office hit also featured Anjelica Huston as her wicked stepmother, Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent. Huston signed on after Barrymore convinced her to join.

“I got her on the phone somehow and I said, ‘You know what, for your dad, John Huston, and my grandfather, John Barrymore, who you know partied here on Earth and are somewhere up in heaven keeping it going, Barrymore Huston, Huston Barrymore, we’ve got to do this,” Barrymore recalled.

“Just for the men in our lives who have set such a tone for what we’re supposed to be doing here on Earth, let’s honor those two men by being these two women together. Are you with me?’ and well, she did the film.”
