In 2013, she co-starred in the films Identity Thief and The Heat with Sandra Bullock. Sandra and Melissa bonded on the film and have forged a deep and lasting friendship. They are both raising families and feel strongly about their values. But being in the public eye has it price to pay and both spoke out about the problems created in the world.”
by fame and paparazzi…and L.A. Bullock and McCarthy shared their viewpoints:
Bullock: ”We’re adults, and we’re fair game—not that I like being photographed going in and out of my kids school in my sweatpants. But I instinctively throw things over Louis’s head….He doesn’t like the paparazzi. He gives them the stinkeye, and they’re like, ‘That’s such an angry kid,’ but I look at them and say, ‘Only when you guys are around’…I don’t raise Louis in Hollywood. I raise him in my world. To me the good thing about living in L.A. is diversity in lifestyle choices, color, and religion. I want Louis to look around and see every color under the sun. I also have the luxury of splitting my time between L.A. and Austin.”
McCarthy:”Strangers shouldn’t be allowed to take a picture of your child and sell it for profit. They think, ‘We’re putting out a product,’ but you’re putting out a child….Ben and I have absolutely nothing to do with the Hollywood that’s all actors and the Sunset Strip. We crave talking to people who do different things and are passionate about it. We have some of the most rock-solid, lovely friends Ben Falcone and Melissa Mccarthy were married in October 2005. They have two children; Vivian who is six and Georgette who is four. “I believe it matters how you treat people and am lucky because I laugh my head off every day with my husband and my kids who are mooning me and singing me songs.” Laugh out loud, sing to your heart’s content and remember, have FUN, just because it’s June!
