Melissa McCarthy And Ben Falcone Recreate Iconic Movie Scene During Fun Date Night originally appeared on Parade.
Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone are couple goals, and they know how to make date night iconic.
On Friday, August 8, McCarthy shared a carousel of photos from their time together making things out of clay at Wild Clay in Claremont, Calif. before the studio’s grand opening. The first three photos feature the Bridesmaids actress showing off her clay-covered hands, as well as a bowl and a beer stein she created.
The fourth photo captured the true essence of McCarthy’s relationship with her husband of 19 years. In it, McCarthy is looking away dreamily as Falcone embraces her from behind, his hand on hers as she works the clay. It’s straight out of the movie Ghost,when Demi Moore‘s character, Molly, gets the same treatment from Patrick Swayze‘s Sam.
She captioned the post, “We had the BEST time at Wild Clay LA!!!!!!! Joshua was an amazing teacher. I really found my inner Demi!! Grand Opening Soon!! @wildclayla Grand opening Thursday 8/14 994 W Foothill Blvd Claremont, CA 91711.”
The photos were both a glimpse into their date night and a cosign for the pottery studio, which had her fans in an uproar.
One thought McCarthy was referencing her Gilmore Girls character at first,writing, “This pic screams ‘Sookie’ when I saw it. Then realized it’s clay and not cooking in the kitchen 🤣.”
Another demanded more funny movies with their comment that said, “I need a new Melissa McCarthy movie, they always make me laugh the most. How about one where you are in the NYPD, of The Heat 2. We need more Mullins.”
Someone else suggested that date night at the pottery studio could turn into a new hobby. They said, “Be careful it’s a slippery slope. Next thing you know you’re installing a kiln in the garage 🤣.”
Yet another wrote, “Haha Are you getting ready for the remake of ‘Ghost’? This one would be epically hilarious!!”
“Yall are just so cute and there is obviously so much love and respect and FUN!” a fifth commenter shared.
