A producer then came on stage to hand the actreesses supposed “notes” from fellow stars attending this year’s Oscars.
Byrne drew a big laugh for reading out her ‘note’, which read: “Rose, can you please stop looking at me? The eye contact is too much. I’m thinking of leaving. I’m very uncomfortable. Sincerely, Leonardo DiCaprio,”
She then quipped in response: “I apologise. I have been staring at you. I thought you were somebody else.”
Meanwhile, McCarthy’s note, supposedly from Stellan Skarsgård, stated: “All the things that you’ve done to your faces are very tasteful.”
