American actress Melissa McCarthy said she was “incredibly flattered” after being chosen to grace the cover of American magazine People’s 2023 Beautiful Issue.

“I felt like it was saying something really lovely to my younger self, to my 20-year-old self,” the 52-year-old told People on the selection. “And maybe to other people too.”
