AceShowbiz - Melissa McCarthy has debuted her impressive weight loss journey, highlighting her new curves in a black and brown corseted Viking costume for her appearance on "Live with Kelly and Mark." The 54-year-old actress, who recently celebrated her 19th wedding anniversary with husband Ben Falcone, also showcased a striking red gown at the Oscars, where her slimmer figure caught the attention of fans.

McCarthy revealed that she lost a whopping 75 pounds through diet and exercise. In the past, she had struggled with yo-yo dieting but has now found a balance and a healthier mindset. She emphasized the importance of letting go of constant anxiety about weight.

Accompanying Ben Falcone, who also donned a Viking costume on "Live with Kelly and Mark," McCarthy promoted their latest project, the podcast "Hildy the Barback and the Lake of Fire". In the scripted comedy, McCarthy voices the lead character, Hildy, on a quest to save the world from evil forces.

Despite their impressive outfits, McCarthy and Falcone admitted that they are not big fans of Halloween. Their daughters, 17-year-old Vivian and 14-year-old Georgette, are taking part in the podcast, playing a two-headed oracle.

In addition to her weight loss journey, McCarthy has also sparked a debate about weight loss drugs in Hollywood. Barbra Streisand's question about whether she had taken Ozempic, a diabetes drug used for weight loss, went viral and prompted McCarthy to respond humorously. She subsequently clarified that she has not taken any weight loss drugs.
