Munn said she was originally nervous to film because of the scars from all of her procedures.
Olivia Munn got vulnerable about filming sex scenes after being diagnosed with breast cancer and undergoing a double mastectomy.
The actor stars alongside Jon Hamm in the new Apple TV+ show “Your Friends and Neighbors.” Munn plays his affair partner in the series, which means the two had to film some intimate scenes together.
“The dynamic between my character and Jon Hamm’s character is a very sexual dynamic,” Munn shared in an interview with Extra! on Tuesday at the New York City premiere of the show. “So it’s really important that we are showing that, and I wanted to be realistic and believable and to leave, like, nothing hidden.”
“But I was nervous because I have scars. I have scars from my double mastectomy,” she shared. “I have scars from lymph node dissection, I have scars from having an oophorectomy/hysterectomy.”
Given the amount of procedures she’s had, Munn said her scars are “not just like, in one little spot here and there.”
