John Leguizamo is opening up about working with the late Patrick Swayze on the 1995 film, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar.

During an appearance on Thursday's episode of SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live, the actor detailed his "difficult" relationship with Swayze, sharing why he didn't have a totally pleasant experience starring alongside late actor on the road trip comedy, in which they played drag queens alongside Wesley Snipes."AlI I hear about Patrick Swayze is just what an absolute angel he was," Andy Cohen said, after bringing up To Wong Fo, to which Leguizamo replied, "That's different than what I experienced."

"He was just, rest in peace. I love him," Leguizamo said of Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009. "He was just neurotic ... I'm neurotic too, but I don't know. He was just, it was difficult working with him."

When Cohen asked if Swayze was a "perfectionist," Leguizamo said, "I don't know. Just neurotic. I think maybe a tiny bit insecure."

"Wesley [Snipes] and I ... we vibed because, you know, we're people of color, and you know, we got each other," he continued. "I'm also an improviser and he didn't like that. He couldn't keep up with it and it would make him mad and upset sometimes."
