She Gained Notoriety as a Child

Georgette’s mother, Melissa McCarthy, who regularly makes appearances on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’, has time and again shared funny quirks of her younger daughter with the audience of the show. As early as November 2013, when Georgette was only three years old, McCarthy described how her ‘daredevil’ daughter, who could barely reach the paddle, would roam fast on the driveway on her bike showcasing dangerous moves. When McCarthy stated that the little girl was surprisingly resistant to injuries, Ellen jokingly suggested that she may not be human after all, but a dejected McCarthy retorted that she could not yet find a switch to turn her off. She also mentioned that the girl was prone to prowling around the house at night. During another appearance on the show with her husband Ben, both agreed that the then-five-year-old was ‘trouble’, and that she will either “rule the world or destroy it”. McCarthy once wondered if Georgette was a vigilante in her previous life because she has a lot of survival tactics under her belt and is always trying to figure out how to tackle imaginary doomsday scenarios. Recently, for her 10th birthday, McCarthy gave her a baby stunt vest.

She Has Already Made Her Acting Debut

Georgette Falcone’s mother McCarthy told ‘Closer Weekly’ that she wanted her children to learn the value of hard work, while Ben told ‘E! Online’ that he would not encourage them to prioritize acting over study. However, her smart older sister Vivian talked her way into a short role in the film ‘The Boss’, directed by her father and starring her mother. Her mother McCarthy revealed on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ that as soon as Georgette was aware of that, she shouted from the next room, “If she is doing it, I’m doing it”, and the hapless parents had no option but to agree. She appeared as one of the young girls working at the brownie company. Another time her mother told Ellen that Georgette is also learning to play the violin.

She Loves to Play Basketball

While Georgette became interested in Basketball following her elder sister, her mother revealed on ‘Ellen’ that her start in the sports was a bit awkward. After the instructor explained guarding to her, she began enthusiastically guarding both the opponent team, as well as her own team, blocking her teammates with raised hands, which earned her the nickname ‘Hands up, Falcone!’ She eventually stopped that and became a point guard. When she made her first basket effortlessly, both her mother and maternal grandfather burst out crying watching from the stands. Her mother further revealed that she becomes so exited watching her daughters play that she turns into the woman she always feared to meet as she screams at the top of her voice, “Get it. Get it from her! Take it from her!”
