Hollywood funnywoman Melissa McCarthy has revealed that she has dated many gay men.
The 43-year-old actress said she she dated homosexual men in her 20s, reported Digital Spy.
"There were so many. In my early 20s I was like the last stop before a guy said, 'Yep, it's official: I'm gay'. I'd be like, 'Really?!' I'd think, but he's so funny, so charming, and such a good dresser. I never saw it coming," McCarthy said.
Asked if she's ever questioned her own sexual identity, McCarthy said, "I don't buy it if anyone says they haven't. I think everyone does at some point.
"Growing up with so many gay friends, I was always in the minority as a straight girl... But then I met (husband Ben Falcone) and I liked him. It's all just part of growing up and finding yourself."
McCarthy will next star in upcoming movie 'Spy', which reunites her with 'Bridesmaids' and 'The Heat' director Paul Feig.
