Unlike many in the industry, Melissa McCarthy has always embraced her fuller figure without any shame. She has no intention of losing weight and continues to land comedic roles that highlight her acting skills rather than her physique.
So, it was a surprise when she recently shared a throwback photo from her younger years, revealing a much slimmer version of herself.
In the photo, Melissa is shown alongside her future sister, Margie, with a noticeably leaner frame. Her wide eyes, defined chin, and visible dimples make it challenging to recognize her as the star we know today.
Her followers were quick to compliment her youthful appearance, with comments like “So beautiful,” “You’ve always been beautiful,” and “Adorable.”
Despite this glimpse into her past, Melissa remains confident about her current figure. She often plays roles that celebrate her curvaceous body, such as the villainous Ursula in “The Little Mermaid.”
Additionally, she runs a clothing line for curvy women, promoting self-acceptance and stylish clothing for all body types.
