Biography of Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn is an American actress of Asian descent, best known for her roles in "Magic Mike" and "X-Men: Apocalypse". Before pursuing her film career, she worked in journalism and modeling. Net worth: $30 million.

Childhood

Lisa Olivia Munn was born in the capital of Oklahoma on July 3, 1980. Through her father William Barrett Munn, she has German, English and Irish heritage. Her mother's family was from China, though Kimberly Smidt herself grew up in Vietnam. Her parents divorced quickly, and Olivia soon had a stepfather – an American military man.

Later, Olivia moved with her family to Japan, where they settled at a military base near Tokyo. In the Land of the Rising Sun, Olivia made her debut on stage – she often participated in school performances. Her distinctive looks also led to opportunities in the fashion industry.

When her mother's second marriage also ended, Kimberly and Olivia returned to Oklahoma City. Here, Olivia graduated from college, and later graduated from the University of Oklahoma's journalism program.

Journalist career

After graduation, Munn interned at NBC's Tulsa affiliate. After moving to Los Angeles, she received a position at Fox Sports Net, where she worked as a sideline reporter. A couple of years later, Olivia was chosen to host shows on the gaming network G4. But neither her previous jobs nor this type of work brought her satisfaction. It became clear she needed a change, so Olivia decided to try her hand at acting.

Acting career

Olivia's debut film was an amateur video "Evil Scarecrow" (2004). She landed a tiny episodic role, and the credits listed the aspiring actress as "Lisa Munn". All her subsequent work during those years had one thing in common – minimal screen time for Olivia.

In the beginning of her career, Olivia Munn only got in the frame occasionally

Among the relatively well-known projects of the late 2000s were the film "Big Stan" (2007) with Rob Schneider, plus the series "University" (2009) featuring a mix of young stars and "Chuck" (2010) with Zachary Levi.

Munn's second phase of conquering cinema and television began with "Iron Man 2" (2010). The superhero Marvel film with the charismatic Robert Downey Jr. in the title role became a kind of talisman for Olivia, who played the role of Chess Roberts. Her transition to TV proved especially successful: the series "Ideal Couples" (2010) and "New Girl" (2011) marked her first truly long-running projects.

In feature films, Olivia began gravitating more toward comedies. Soon came the comedy "Super Mike" (2012) starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey, a criminal comedy "Mordecai" (2015) with Johnny Depp, "Mission to Miami" (2016) and "New Year's Corporate" (2016) featuring Munn were all released.

Olivia Munn in the film «X-Men: Apocalypse»

However, there were genre exceptions too: notably the superhero blockbuster "X-Men: Apocalypse" (2016), where Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, and James McAvoy returned to their usual characters, and Olivia Munn played Psylocke for the first time, the twin sister of Captain Britain with telepathic abilities. According to Zoomboola.com, in 2017, she voiced the character Coco in the animated film "The Lego Ninjago Movie", where the main characters were voiced by Jackie Chan and Dave Franco.

Olivia Munn in the «Predator» (2018)

Munn also appeared in "Dark Phoenix" (2019) from the X-Men universe with Sophie Turner reprising her role as the reborn Jean Grey, and in the sequel to the famous "Predator" saga, where Olivia Munn and Yvonne Strahovski take the lead.

Personal life of Olivia Munn

For several years until 2017, Olivia dated football player Aaron Rodgers.

Later, the actress joined the "Me Too" movement and brought accusations of repeated sexual harassment against Brett Ratner.

In 2018 there were rumors about Munn's romantic involvement with Chris Pratt, but she denied them herself by sharing funny emails with his ex-wife Anna Faris.

Since 2019, she's been dating Tucker Roberts. In November 2019, they attended their first official event as a couple. Tucker heads Comcast's eSports team Fusion and is 11 years younger than Olivia.

Olivia Munn now

Currently, the actress is attached to several projects, with her productivity and popularity growing every year. Olivia Munn isn't afraid to take on diverse characters in films and TV series, or to work in completely new roles.

In 2018, she had a cameo in 'Ocean's Eight' and in 2020 landed the lead role in the British comedy 'Love. Wedding. Repeat' alongside Sam Claflin.

She is a little-known actress, at least I saw her only in X-Men in the role of Elizabeth.

I didn`t like how she played in the film The Predator, and to be honest, I didn`t really like this film.
