Melissa McCarthy's RS Cover: 'I Could Eat Healthier, I Could Drink Less'

Melissa McCarthy's RS Cover: 'I Could Eat Healthier, I Could Drink Less'

Melissa McCarthy admitted in a Rolling Stone interview last week that she could eat healthier and drink less, but said she could also get hit by a bus.

The star of CBS' "Mike & Molly" and the upcoming "Tammy" told the music magazine that she turned "slightly nuts" in high school but is comfortable with who she is now despite some self-destructive habits.

"I could eat healthier, I could drink less," the 43-year-old, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Bridesmaids," told Rolling Stone. "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.'"

McCarthy also confessed that she got her big breakout role in "Bridesmaids" by talking about, of all things, dolphin sex. It was during some improv with the film's star Kristen Wiig in front of producer Judd Apatow and director Paul Feig that McCarthy says she started rambling about inter-species intercourse.

"There's not one thing you could have done to seem any stranger," McCarthy told Rolling Stone she said to herself after the audition. "Sex with a dolphin? Handplay with a dolphin! You just could not have been any weirder."

Fans of the actress responded positively to her Rolling Stone cover story on Twitter.






McCarthy will star opposite Susan Sarandon and Dan Aykroyd in her next movie "Tammy," which was written and directed by her husband, Ben Falcone, and hits theaters July 2.
