Drew Barrymore had a bit of a snafu when she phoned a famous ex, Luke Wilson, during a recent segment on her show.
Barrymore called her old boyfriend with her guest, Vince Gilligan, who is best known for writing “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul.”
Gilligan also wrote the screenplay for “Home Fries,” which Barrymore and Wilson both starred in.
When Barrymore originally went to call Wilson during her live studio taping, he unfortunately didn’t pick up.
“This is not going the way I planned,” Barrymore said as her phone rang, sans Wilson answering. “But, what does in life, right?”
When the daytime talk show host was sent to voicemail, she gushed over her time with Wilson.

“We were just talking about you, and we’re sending you love, and can you believe ‘Home Fries’ was 27 years ago now?!” Barrymore said over the phone. “I know this is just a voicemail, but I love you, I’m sending you love, and I’m here with Vince on the show, and we’re thinking about you.”
Luckily, Wilson ended up calling right back and gave a very sweet explanation for why he hadn’t picked up.
“Hey, Drew!” he said. “Sorry, I was taking my trash cans out.”
Wilson, Barrymore, and Gilligan all reminisced about their time together, and the “Never Been Kissed” actor shared a very special memory from her relationship with Wilson, whom she dated from 1996 to 1998.
“Remember, I got arrested for public urination with you?” Barrymore said, while Wilson laughed and said, “I recall that.”
Barrymore has opened up about their public urination incident before, which occurred just before she and Wilson were going to see Beck in concert.
“I was peeking out of the bushes like, ‘Hi!’” Barrymore said when she had Wilson on the show in February.
Wilson added that the two were “detained us for a little bit and frisked us.”
