Biography of Olivia Munn

Olivia Munn is an American actress of Asian descent, best known for her roles in the films "Super Mike" and "X-Men: Apocalypse". Before making a choice in favor of the movie, she tried herself in journalism and modeling business. Net worth: $30 million.

Childhood

Lisa Olivia Munn was born in the capital of Oklahoma on July 3, 1980. On the part of her father William Barrett Munn, the girl has German, English and Irish roots. Her mom's ancestors were from China, while Kimberly Smidt herself grew up in Vietnam. The spouses of Munn quickly divorced, 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. Distinguishing appearance also helped her to receive proposals for cooperation in the fashion industry.

When this marriage of her mother Kimberly had also fallen apart, Schmidt and her daughter returned to Oklahoma City. Here, Olivia graduated from college, as well as from Journalism Department of the State University later.

Journalist career

Having received the diploma, Munn went to probation in Tulsa to the branch of NBC. After moving to Los Angeles, she received a position at Fox Sports Net, where she served as a commentator at the edge of the field. A couple of years later, Olivia was selected and began to show on the channel for gamers. But neither previous employment, nor work in such format did not bring her pleasure. The more obvious was the need for changes: then Olivia decided to try her hand at film acting.

Soon, a comedy film "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) with Munn's participation were released.
