The comment said: “I need a SPY 2 where Melissa McCarthy and Jason Statham go undercover as break dancers at the Olympics in a made up country.”

Melissa, 53, captioned the repost: “Ummm, YES PLEASE!!!

The 2024 Paris Olympic Games introduced the sport of break dancing, called breaking at the Games, into the Summer Olympic Games program for the first time.

The sport was a hit with viewers, who watched 16 b-boys and b-girls from different countries competing to win Olympic medals.

Canada and Japan won gold in the event, with the United States, France, Lithuania and China medaling.

Spy (2015) is an action comedy film directed by Paul Feig and starring Melissa and Jason Statham, Jude Law and Rose Byrne.

The film follows unorthodox secret agent Susan Cooper, played by Melissa, as she attempts to track down a stolen portable nuclear device with the reluctant help of Statham’s Rich Ford.

The Bridesmaids star has lost 75 pounds since her heaviest weight and looked slimmer than ever at the Season 4 trailer for Hulu’s mystery comedy.

“What a cast!!! so excited!!!”, commented another.

“The cast gets better and better every season,” agreed a third.

In a revealing 2015 interview with CBS This Morning, Melissa talked about how she lost weight.

In it, she admitted to changing her mental attitude and lifestyle.

“I finally said to myself, ‘Oh, for God’s sake, stop worrying about this, and it might be the best thing I’ve ever done,’” Melissa revealed.

“I really stopped worrying about my weight.”

“I stopped overanalyzing, overthinking, overdoing anything…I just stopped constantly worrying about it,” she added.

Melissa concluded, “And I think there’s something about relaxing and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, strangely enough, it worked.”
