The cast of Feud: Capote vs. the Swans took a trip down memory lane on this morning’s episode of The Drew Barrymore Show.

In a game of “Behind the Scenes,” host Drew Barrymore asked stars Molly Ringwald, Naomi Watts, Demi Moore, Diane Lane, Chloë Sevigny and Calista Flockhart to reveal one never-before-heard memory from some of their most iconic films.

When it came time for Moore to talk about the 1992 drama A Few Good Men, she recalled “a couple of funny things” that happened on set.

“One: I had to audition for A Few Good Men,” she said. “The only thing is I was about seven-and-a-half months pregnant. So I had to go waddling in. Tom Cruise was mortified.”

Moore — who had given birth to her daughter by the time filming began — starred in the Rob Reiner-directed legal drama alongside Cruise, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer Sutherland and Jack Nicholson. In fact, one of her other top memories from filming the movie had to do with Nicholson.

“In the big courtroom scenes when Jack Nicholson is up on the stand, they were shooting the other direction all day,” she said. “And here I’m watching this iconic actor — this actor that I’ve grown up with, that I have such respect for — do off-camera at full steam all day long.”

She added, “It was something that just moved me and really stayed with me on the importance of how we show up for each other.”

Meanwhile, Flockhart remembered working alongside “legends” in The Birdcage, which she called the “most entertaining set ever” — and Lane outed C. Thomas Howell for trying to trip her up during her scenes in The Outsiders.

Ringwald, on the other hand, told Barrymore what she “hated the most” about her 1986 rom-com Pretty in Pink.

“I burst into tears when they showed me the prom dress because it was nothing like what I had imagined,” she said, to which Barrymore replied, “It’s a very weird dress. It’s a very unique dress. But I will never forget it because I’ve never seen a cut quite like it!”
