Melissa McCarthy is thrilled Barbra Streisand knows she exists
Melissa McCarthy is a proud fan of Barbra Streisand.
(CNN) — Melissa McCarthy remains a proud fan of Barbra Streisand.
The Oscar-nominated actress was completely unbothered by a comment Streisand left on her Instagram in which the legendary singer asked McCarthy if she was on Ozempic. In fact, she took it as a compliment.
McCarthy shared her response on Instagram late Tuesday, holding a magazine with a vintage picture of Streisand on the cover. She captioned the post, “@barbrastreisand fan club members only!!!”
“The takeaway is Barbra Streisand knows I exist. She reached out to me and she thought I look good!” McCarthy said in a short video.
“I win the day,” she added.
McCarthy’s post came after Streisand wrote and then deleted her question to McCarthy about the weight-loss medication.
Streisand addressed her comment, saying she initially opened her Instagram to look at photos of the “beautiful flowers” she’d received for her birthday last week.
“Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album,” she wrote. “She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!”
Their mutual admiration remains.
