Rosie Perez is “pissed” with Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes.

On Thursday, the “Flight Attendant” star appeared on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” and revealed she was annoyed with her “White Men Can’t Jump” co-stars at the Academy Awards last month.

“You were one of my favorite moments of the Oscars, that scene of the reunion of the cast of ‘White Men Can’t Jump’, that was cool to see on stage.” Noah began.

But Perez was not having it.

“I was pissed off at them! I just said to them, ‘I have a train,” she explained referring to her fiery red Christian Siriano dress. “’Just pick it up … fluff it, let it go and let me walk out.’ They said, ‘OK.’ And then I see on the playback they were holding it the whole time, cracking up.”

And the reason why?

“They were high off their asses!” she exclaimed with a smile.

It appears that their onstage banter about being high wasn’t a “bit” for the telecast.

Harrelson, a longtime proponent for the legalization of cannabis had rued, “I wish I hadn’t done that bong-rip in the car,” while Snipes added, “I wish I didn’t roll with you.”

“I’m the only sober one up here, some things haven’t changed in 30 years,” Perez said mildly exasperated.

The trio had reunited — in honor of the basketball comedy’s 30th anniversary — to present the Oscar for cinematography.

The evening was the first time in 28 years that the actress, 57, had been invited back to the Oscars since being nominated in 1994 for her supporting role in “Fearless.”

The 1992 classic movie is set to get rebooted featuring a script from “black-ish” creator Kenya Barris. Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow have been signed to star in the remake.
