Melissa Mccarthy's daughter lands movie role

Los Angeles: Melissa Mccarthy's daughter is all set to join the actress onscreen in upcoming comedy "Michelle Darnell" to play a younger version of her mother's character.

The movie stars McCarthy as a corporate professional, who tries to rebrand herself as America's sweetheart after she is released from jail for insider trading, and it is directed by her husband Ben Falcone, reported TMZ.

The couple's eight-year-old daughter Vivian was originally cast as an extra in the project, but she has now been promoted to portray a child version of Michelle Darnell, the title character played by her mother.

Two other actresses will also appear as younger versions of Michelle Darnell.
