Melissa McCarthy's reaction to her very first headshots is priceless: 'Oh my God, they're out there!'

The skeletons are out of Melissa McCarthy's closet.

The 44-year-old actress had what must have been one of her most embarrassing moments ever on The Graham Norton Show when the host shared two of her first headshots with the world.

"When you sent them to me, I thought, Oh my God, they're out there!" she said.

Most aspiring actors opt for glam headshots when hitting the audition circuit, but not our Melissa. The then-26 year old posed as two of the colourful characters in her comedy act at the time.

Watch the video above to check them out. Melissa's reaction and explanations are almost as hilarious as the photos.

Clearly she did something right. After Melissa landed supporting TV roles on Gilmore Girls and Samantha Who? and a starring one on Mike & Molly, Bridesmaids made her a movie star and an Oscar nominee.

Nice one, Melissa.
