Billie Eilish signs Melissa McCarthy’s forehead on stage
In one of the most hilarious and iconic moments of the 2024 SAG Awards, Melissa McCarthy and Billie Eilish took to the stage to present the trophy for Outstanding Female Actor in a Comedy Series, with McCarthy posing as the Ocean Eyes singer. I took advantage of the opportunity to fangirl. McCarthy reminded Eilish that they had met several times before, but Eilish didn’t seem to remember.
“Actually, we’ve met before, but it’s okay, it doesn’t matter. I mean, why do you remember that? You shouldn’t. We met twice, actually three times. You met my daughters and one of my dogs,” McCarthy said to Eilish.
“Fun fact,” McCarthy continued. “Since you’re asking, I also met you first in the womb because your mom was my first improv teacher. And guess who got her pregnant?” That was you.” McCarthy previously revealed that Eilish’s mother, Maggie Baird, and brother, Finneas O’Connell, were her improv teachers.
Eilish pretended to be surprised by so much sharing and said, “Wow… that’s… too much.” McCarthy also said he was trying to be more present and asked Eilish to sign his gown. “No, I don’t want to mess it up,” Eilish said.
McCarthy then offered her a silver gown with another joke. “I thought you’d say, ‘I don’t want to ruin your beautiful face,'” Eilish said, not caring, so McCarthy grabbed a Sharpie and signed Eilish’s forehead. I made it. The gag included Eilish covering McCarthy’s mouth as he continued to speak.
When the clip was uploaded to X, fans flooded the comments section. Below are some of the fan reactions.
Billie Eilish performs “Academia Core” at SAG Awards 2024
Billie Eilish always brings her own unique style and she didn’t disappoint at the 2024 SAG Awards. The singer performed Academia Core’s best masterpiece at the award ceremony. She matched her white dress shirt with a tie and her sweater vest. Eilish posed with her confidence on her red carpet as she completed her look with black pants and a loose updo. The Grammy winner and award show presenter expressed her desire to look great in her E! interview.
Eilish often talks about why she dresses the way she does. In 2023, singer Billie Eilish fought back against the unfair focus on women’s body types. “Nobody says anything about a man’s body. If you have muscles, you’re cool. If you’re really skinny, you’re cool,” she said. Irish also said: If you’re pudgy, love it! Everyone is satisfied. you know why? Because girls are kind. We see people as they are, so they don’t do nasty things! ”
She also stated that despite having large breasts, she has never felt like a woman and does not feel feminine or attractive. Eilish said, “Honestly, I’ve never felt like a woman. I’ve never felt desirable. I’ve never felt feminine. I’ve never convinced myself that I’m a pretty girl. I identify as a ‘girlfriend’ or something like that, but I’ve never felt like a girl.” She wears baggy clothes. She said she didn’t want people to suddenly sexualize her when she changed her trademark look and showed some skin.
Eilish added, “I wasn’t trying to make people desexualize me. But I didn’t want people to have access to my body, even visually. I wasn’t strong enough and secure enough to show it. If I had shown it then, I would have been completely devastated if anything was said about me. Maybe the reason I don’t really care about it is because I’ve never felt wanted or desirable.”
