Melissa McCarthy, who has become a heavyweight at the box office with her comedy flicks, recently opened up about her vices and her quotable, improvised onscreen rants she doesn’t remember delivering.
McCarthy’s career has taken off over the last few years. Her private life is going well too, as she’s married to fellow comic actor Ben Falcone, with whom she has two daughters. Though she doesn’t think there’s anything she’s running from or chasing, McCarthy did admit she has some self-destructive habits to Rolling Stone – but she’s not terribly hung up on them.
"I could eat healthier, I could drink less," McCarthy told Rolling Stone magazine. "I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'"
A signature of McCarthy’s brand of comedy has been her expletive-ridden tirades. From her big screen breakout in Bridesmaids to her small part in This Is 40 and last summer’s smash hit The Heat, there’s always sure to be one scene in which McCarthy's improv skills are let loose. Oftentimes, McCarthy claims she blacks out shooting some of her most memorable rants.
At the end credits for This Is 40, McCarthy spits at Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann’s characters, “I would like to rear up and jackknife my legs and kick you both in the f–king jaw with my foot bone. That's what I would f–king love. I wish my f—king foot would go right through your skull." McCarthy had no recollection of saying that when she watched the film. “When I saw that scene, I really truly didn't remember saying most of it,” McCarthy told Rolling Stone. She also had something of an out of body experience during her audition for Bridesmaids in which she rambled about sex with a dolphin.
"Sex with a dolphin? Handplay with a dolphin!” the actress said, incredulous. “You just could not have been any weirder.”
