Freaked-Out Melissa McCarthy Told Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie to Stop Talking at Bash

That's a lot of energy!

Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy is quickly becoming an A-lister -- but that doesn't mean she didn't completely freak out chatting with Hollywood's most famous couple and its most celebrated actress.

On Thursday's episode of Ellen, the Bridesmaids actress, 41, recounted to Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Kimmel what it was like chatting (alongside husband and Bridesmaids costar Ben Falcone) with superstars at the Golden Globes two weekends ago.

"So I'm already in some weird altered state talking to Brad and Angelina. They're so nice and chatty and really bubbly," McCarthy says of hobnobbing with Pitt, 48, and Jolie, 36.

"Finally, I got a little weird and 'I was like you have to stop for a minute because it's a lot visually to take in.'"

Wait, really? "I said that to them. They just kind of laughed. I said, 'No really.' It is a lot visually to take in. She's like weirdly glowing. She’s so beautiful. He's kind of cute too. And then I was like 'Ok. I'm sorry. I needed to like regroup' because they're kind of a lot."

McCarthy's star-struck moment didn't end there -- because Meryl Streep then introduced herself to the foursome!

"Literally like my brain snapped in two," McCarthy said of meeting the legendary Iron Lady star. "And then I really didn't know what to say. I just kept going 'Oh, my god. You're Meryl Streep.' And she was chatting like a normal human being. And I said, 'Oh my god. I'm sorry. I thought over the years so many things if I ever got to meet you what I would say. This is not it.' And, she goes 'Oh my god. Don't even worry about it.'"

Added the Best Supporting Actress nominee: "For some reason I felt I need to bookend it with and repeat. 'Oh my god. You're Meryl Streep!'"

    People need to shut their mouths about her weight. What does that have to do with talent. The reason why stars like Demi Moore are skeletal are because of people like you. Melissa is very talented and beautiful inside and out.
