Let’s be real for a second—not every little girl dreams of getting a Barbie doll on her birthday. Take Melissa McCarthy’s daughter, Georgette Falcone, for example. When Georgie turned 10, Melissa decided to go above and beyond with a gift that was anything but ordinary. And let me tell you, it’s a story worth sharing.
From Barbie to Stunt Gear: Melissa McCarthy's Unconventional Gift
Melissa McCarthy, the hilarious and talented actress we all know and love, shared this delightful tale during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Instead of picking out some generic toy, Melissa opted for something truly unique—a stunt harness. That’s right, a Hong Kong harness! For those who don’t know, this is the gear used in action movies when someone gets yanked up into the air or performs daring stunts. Georgie, it turns out, was absolutely thrilled with her mom's choice. “She really wanted it,” Melissa explained with a laugh. “And I figured, why not? I’ve always had a thing for stunts, so I thought I’d give her a little taste of what it’s like to be in the action business.”
Georgette's Special Birthday Bash
But the fun didn’t stop at the gift. Melissa took things to the next level by planning a birthday party that would make most kids green with envy. “We’re heading to a parkour gym run by my stuntwoman, Lucy,” Melissa revealed. “And guess what? I’m bringing in riggers to make sure everything is safe and secure. You see, Georgie’s always been around sets, and she’s constantly asking, ‘Can you lift me up?’ or ‘Can I try that?’ So, this time, we’re making it happen!” Melissa joked that she wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of hoisting her daughter into the air herself, but she assured everyone that the pros would handle it. “She’s going to get jerked up to the ceiling, safely of course, and she’s going to flip around like a little stunt pro. She was so excited, she practically screamed ‘Yes!’”

Mommy Knows Best: Keeping It Safe and Fun
Melissa is clearly all about making sure her daughter has the best experiences possible while keeping safety top of mind. “I want her to have fun, but I also want her to be safe,” Melissa said. “She’s always wanted to do stunts and flips, just like me, so this is her chance to live out her dream. We’ve got experts there to make sure everything goes smoothly. Georgie was over the moon about it, and honestly, who wouldn’t be?”
More Than Just Stunts: Georgette's Other Passions
Of course, Georgette isn’t just about stunts. She’s also got a creative side that’s worth mentioning. Melissa shared with Ellen that her daughter is learning to play the violin. “She’s got a ways to go,” Melissa joked. “Sometimes I ask her, ‘Are you playing the string or the wood?’ But hey, it’s not an easy instrument to master.” Despite the challenges, Melissa is proud of her daughter’s efforts and knows that with her encouragement, Georgette can achieve anything she sets her mind to.
It’s clear that Melissa McCarthy is not only a gifted actress but also an amazing mom who encourages her kids to explore their passions. We can’t wait to see what Georgette decides to do when she grows up. Whether it’s stunts, music, or something else entirely, one thing’s for sure—she’s got a great role model in her corner.
