Melissa McCarthy<\/a><\/strong> is capable of many things most people are not: Giving not one but two Oscar-nominated performances, winning Emmys, being funny and performing her own stunts.<\/p>\n

But there is one thing, a much more common thing, that she says she is unable to do.<\/p>\n

“I’ve done a lot of stunts but I could not, for any amount of time or money, keep a purse on my shoulder,” McCarthy said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show<\/em> on Thursday. “God, I wish that was a joke. I am built somewhat like a Christmas tree; I have no shoulders at all…I can’t carry a lady’s handbag. I can’t do it.”<\/p>\n

So the actress opts to carry her purses by hand rather than wear them on her shoulder.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

She has often been seen carrying handbags in public, and her character also has one in the crime drama The Kitchen<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“We’d be doing these aggressive scenes and I’d be like…’I’m so sorry, my handbag,'” she said. “And then there’s scenes where I just started weirdly clutching it like a raw steak. I can’t carry a lady’s bag.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In the film, set in New York City in the ’70s, McCarthy, Elisabeth Moss<\/a><\/strong> and Tiffany Haddish<\/a><\/strong> play mob wives and girlfriends who take over for their significant others after they go to jail.<\/p>\n

The Kitchen<\/em> is set for release on August 9.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
