16. Melissa McCarthy
Whether she wants it or not, Melissa McCarthy is often forced to talk about her body and her looks in interviews. For some reason, interviewers still do not see her as one of the most talented comedians working today, but a short, overweight woman who needs to prove something.
The way in which Melissa handles this is so contrary to her off-the-wall and often quite insane characters. She handles these questions with great poise and a very intelligent approach – talking about health being the only body-associated aspect that really matters.
She also never forgets to mention that body positivity is important for the mental health. Perhaps a day will come when people will stop talking about her figure and start asking her about her craft. Something she knows everything about.
