HuffPost
The "Bridesmaids" actor began her career as a drag performer.
Melissa McCarthy is reaffirming her allegiance to drag queens — and “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
The Oscar-nominated actor surprised the competitive series in an upcoming episode teased Saturday to say: “I just adore you all.”
While she is best known for “Gilmore Girls” and “Bridesmaids,” McCarthy shares a kindred past with the show’s contestants: She used to perform as a drag queen named “Miss Y.”
“I adore what you do,” the actor told the group in a clip. “Drag is a big part of why I have a career. I was going to drag shows when I shouldn’t have been and it literally gave me the courage to get on the stage.”
“So when I look at you fighting to carve out your space, it makes me so proud,” she added. “And I just want to thank you for it and root for you. You’re all gorgeous and I just love you. Just keep doing what you’re doing. It’s not only wildly entertaining and it brings joy.”
