Ellen responded, ‘Who hasn’t? I think everyone is in love with Harry Styles,’ which comes just after the singer made headlines for posing in a dress for Vogue. 

McCarthy added, ‘It’s not a bad choice, but sometimes… I’m just waiting for him to be like, “You know you could cut your hair a little shorter.’

She continued, with a laugh, ‘As if me cutting my hair would be like I’m a dead ringer for Harry. What are you talking about? I would just look more tragic.’

She appeared on Ellen to promote her new movie Superintelligence, which Falcone directs and McCarthy stars in alongside Bobby Cannavale. 

The actress explained the movie follows, ‘an A.I. that becomes aware’ and finds her character Carol Peters, ‘the most average of all average people.’

She explained that the A.I. decides to watch her for three days, ‘to see if humankind is worth saving.’

During those three days, as the A.I. ponders whether or not to wipe the slate clean with humanity, Carol goes on a mission of her own.

‘The A.I. chooses to follow me and I decide the one thing I really care about, if I have three days left, is to find my love that got away, played by Bobby Cannavale, who is great,’ she added.

She also launched a charitable campaign through the movie, called 20 Days of Kindness, which 20 charities will benefit from.

‘It’s a funny time in the world and in promoting this movie about kindness matters and people are worth saving and that love wins, we thought if we were going to be getting back together in our virtual way, let’s shine a light on some great causes,’ she said.

She mentioned the website 20DaysOfKindness.com, which highlights these great charities, which will each receive $20,000.

Fans can also visit the site and donate to the charities, which will enter them into a sweepstakes to win a new Tesla Model X plus a ‘virtual hang’ with McCarthy.
