Spy (2015) is a Paul Feig-directed, action comedy film that starred Melissa and Jason Statham, Jude Law, and Rose Byrne.
The film follows unorthodox secret agent Susan Cooper, played by Melissa, as she attempts to trace a stolen portable nuclear device with the reluctant help of Statham’s Rich Ford.
SNEAK PEEK
Recently, Mellissa showed off her weight loss in the Season 4 trailer for Only Murders in the Building.
The Bridesmaids star has lost 75 pounds since her heaviest weight and looked slimmer than ever in the Season 4 trailer for the Hulu mystery comedy.

The new season sees the trio traveling to Los Angeles after a Hollywood studio expresses interest in adapting their podcast into a movie.
The trailer teased the guest stars set to appear on the Hulu Orignal throughout its fourth season.
The stars included 21-time Oscar nominee, and three-time winner, Meryl Streep, Schitt’s Creek star Eugene Levy, Desperate Housewives alum Eva Longoria, comedian Zach Galifianakis, and Mike & Molly star Melissa, 53.

WEIGHT LOSS SECRETS
Since March, the Spy star displayed her weight loss transformation in Instagram videos and photos.
In a revealing 2015 interview with CBS This Morning, Melissa opened up about how she shed the pounds.
In it, she admitted to shifting her mental attitude and changing her lifestyle.
“I finally said to myself, ‘Oh for God’s sake, stop worrying about it, and it may be the best thing I’ve ever done,’” Melissa revealed.
“I truly stopped worrying about my weight.”
“I stopped over-analyzing, over-thinking, over-doing anything…I just stopped constantly being worried about it,” she added.
Melissa concluded, “And I think there’s something to kinda loosening up and not being so nervous and rigid about it that, bizarrely, has worked.”
