Childhood and youth
Lisa Olivia was born in America, in quiet and cozy Oklahoma. The parents gave the girl a double name, only at the peak of her career the actress reduced it to one. I got Chinese roots from my mother, and German and Irish from my father. My childhood flew by in Japan, where my mother’s new husband was sent to serve, I had to travel around the country, but mostly the family lived in Tokyo.
Actress Olivia Munn
From an early age, Olivia Munn showed acting abilities, which were complemented by her unusual appearance and charisma, so local theater directors gladly involved her in their productions. And the matured girl was warmly received in modeling business circles.
Olivia was finishing school in her homeland: her mother divorced once again and decided to return to Oklahoma from Japan. Here, the future actress mastered two specialties at the university - journalism and Japanese theatrical art. However, she did not want to work in her chosen profession at home. The girl was attracted by the world of cinema and television, so she went to try her luck in Los Angeles.

In the city of dreams, luck was favorable; Olivia was accepted as a sports commentator on the Fox television channel. I had to get acquainted with the peculiarities of football and women's basketball, but the girl never got into this boring topic for her.
In the future, Mann graced the G4 channel, convincing producers that she could handle the role of host of the show “Attack of the Show.” The television crews were not sure that the journalist had a decent understanding of games, but they were mistaken. Olivia has been sharing her knowledge of the gaming industry with viewers for four years.
Down and distance
"Danny couldn't cope with Olivia's demanding lifestyle and wasn't happy with certain choices she was making," a source told E! News in March 2020, when the couple first broke up. "The constant travel was also divisive." That same month, Danny Amendola signed with the Miami Dolphins after five years with the New England Patriots. This step is important to the Note because the recipient's broad signature with the other team meant the pair saw less of each other.
Olivia Culpo, a lifelong New England Patriots fan, is located in Cranston, Rhode Island, 30 minutes from the Patriots' home, Foxboro Stadium. “The Patriots have always been a huge part of my family since I was a child,” she told Boston.com. “Creating playtime was just something we did. I still have that mentality to this day and always try to attend games whenever possible." Culpo's immediate family lives in the area, and she also owns a restaurant in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Dating someone who lives and works near your family and business is easy. Dating a person who lives almost 1,500 miles from these creatures? Not so much.
Movies
While working on television, Olivia Munn never gave up her dream of getting a role in a movie. And soon such an offer came. Her debut appearance on the silver screen happened in 2004 - the girl starred in the horror film “The Anger of the Scarecrow.” And in 2005, she turned into a surfer in the TV series “Beyond the Break,” where she stayed for two whole years.
Olivia Munn in the movie "Magic Mike"
Olivia met Hollywood celebrities – Rob Schneider, David Carradine, Jennifer Morrison – on the set of the film “Big Stan”. In the comedy, which became incredibly popular, the aspiring actress got the episodic but striking role of the stupid, sexy secretary Maria. After that, she tried on the image of a psychiatric hospital nurse in the thriller “Eat Alive.”
Olivia Munn in the movie "Iron Man 2"
Offers from directors poured in like a cornucopia. 2010 was a fruitful year, when Mann appeared in four films at once, including in the second part of “Iron Man.” It was a real success, because the superhero action film involved the entire color of Hollywood - Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Scarlett Johansson and other movie stars.
Olivia Munn in the movie "Mission Miami"
Olivia Munn's filmography was rapidly filling up; the films "Crazy Date", "Magic Mike", "Mission to Miami", as well as the television series "University" and "Perfect Couples" were added to the acting treasury. More experienced colleagues began to notice the girl’s bright talent. The same Downey Jr. once admitted that he admires Olivia’s ability to improvise.
Olivia Munn as Psylocke in X-Men: Apocalypse
In 2020, the actress found herself filming X-Men: Apocalypse. In this film, she played the role of the mutant Betsy “Psylocke” Braddock, a negative character who acts in the team of the main antagonist of the film. The work added to its popularity, and even more interesting proposals began to come from directors. That same year, Olivia Munn joined the cast of Josh Gordon and Will Speck's hilarious production of New Year's Party, where she brilliantly played alongside Jennifer Aniston and Kate McKinnon.
Personal life
The actress is reluctant to talk about her personal life. And yet the press occasionally manages to lift the veil of secrecy. The girl dated Hollywood movie star Chris Pine. Five months were enough for us to become disappointed in each other.
Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers
Then Olivia had a whirlwind romance with actor Joel Kinnaman, whom viewers know from his roles in the films “RoboCop” and “Suicide Squad.” The relationship lasted two years.
In 2014, journalists actively circulated the news that Mann had become the lover of American football player Aaron Rodgers. The young people even announced their engagement, but it never came to a wedding. In 2020, fans learned the news of the couple's separation.
Olivia's story
Hi, my name is Olivia, or just Liv, I'm currently 16 years old. I’m no different from other girls my age, except for one thing. My dreams are coming true... It all started from distant childhood... All my life I lived in a poor family, and in a poor family because my parents constantly drank and they were not sober almost the whole day. I just wanted to run away from them, but I couldn’t... When all this started, I was 7 years old, then I had just become acquainted with the concept of “school.” Perhaps I would have liked to study if it weren’t for the constant bullying at school. And all because my parents, alcoholics, constantly teased me at school: “oh, look, the daughter of alcoholics is coming,” or “oh, just look who we have here.” Future alcoholic. Have you already tried alcohol? In a couple of years you’ll be living at the station...” Of course, at first I didn’t pay attention to them, but then my patience ran out... And because of such bullying, my character began to change. I became more withdrawn and if I didn’t like something, I didn’t keep it to myself. She said everything directly... Of course, not everyone understood me, or rather, no one at all. A little later, they stopped teasing me, because everyone was afraid of me... I gave up on studying since the 3rd grade (before that I tried to do at least something) But in the 4th grade, a lot changed. Two new girls, Conchita and Aglaya, came to our class. We became friends almost immediately. Want to know how it was? No? You know what, I don't care. I'll tell you anyway. Beginning of a new academic year. 4th grade. I didn't want to go to school at all. Everyone came there only because of friends. But I don't have them. At all. True, one nerd looked at me like that, but I didn’t care, I just didn’t pay attention to him. In general, Aglaya and Conchita, as soon as they entered the classroom, imagined themselves to be the coolest. Naturally they were afraid. I didn’t pay the slightest attention to them, but then... They tried to tease me in every possible way, more than once. But I didn’t put up with it and... Well, in general, we fought, and hard. In the school yard. Everyone crowded together and watched our fight. But when the teachers saw this, we had no time for jokes. They immediately took us to the director and wanted to expel us, but in the end we begged for forgiveness and everything worked out. After we left the director's office, we had a common topic of conversation. Headmistress. “This bitch made us do community service. We need to take revenge on her somehow.” Yes, so that we would not go unpunished, the headmistress punished us. Throughout the summer holidays we had to plow in the school yard. And we didn’t like it at all; we wanted to take revenge on her somehow. There were a lot of ideas... But we decided to act wisely. First, the little things. They put a button on the chair, glued everything that was on the table to the table, nailed her shoes before she even came to school. In general, they did as much mischief as they could. And then day x came, on that day she had a good time…. While she was sitting in the office after the school day, all the teachers and students had already left, but not us... We put on masks and took toy guns, tape and scissors. We quietly went into the office while she was sorting out some papers. Aglaya, like the smallest one, carefully climbed under the table and tied her legs to the chair. Naturally, she noticed this and then Conchita and I ran. They waved a pistol in front of her. They said if he yells, we'll shoot him. We tied her up and left her alone in the office overnight. And they themselves went home with peace of mind. The director was discovered only in the morning. It was the cleaning lady. She was shocked... After such an outburst, she left school... And she was replaced by a new, very tough derectrix... I felt a little sorry for the old derectress, but after our “heroic” act, the girls and I became very close and became best friends. Constant parties and all that... But everything was not as good as it seems.... At the very beginning of 8th grade. I was very much set up... September 1.. He appeared at the school... New renovation... And Algai had tough counters with the director. And she wrote on the board “The director is a whore.” After that, Conchita and Aglaya were called to the director. I don’t know what they told her... Well, in general, they blamed everything on me. After that, I was expelled from school, without any warning... With such a reputation, I was never accepted into any school... And somehow I didn’t really want this... Oh, how I got it from my parents back then... What they did to me, it’s scary to even describe... But I took revenge on Conchita and Algae, and very harshly... That was the end of my school life. My parents still drank and abused me in every possible way. It was very offensive and not pleasant how they treated me, but I endured it, since I have no other relatives, and even more so friends with whom I could live... But I could not endure the parental bullying for a long time... I was only 14 years old... I just left out of the house... To nowhere... It was winter outside, and I was wandering the streets in search of some kind of shelter... And everything happened so quickly... It was the most terrible day of my life. The parents got extremely drunk and began to go crazy. I was lying in the room, when suddenly they broke in and dad started pulling me by the hair... He took the belt and started hitting me with all his might... I was just screaming in pain, but he didn’t stop, he didn’t care... He just beat me and beat without stopping. I was all red, and a little later blue from bruises all over my body, and in some places he hit so hard that there was blood... It was so painful that it simply cannot be put into words.... Then he took me by the hair, again and started hitting me against the wall, it was very painful, I thought I was going to die... Do you know what’s the worst thing? My mom stood and watched as my dad beat me in every possible way... She didn’t do anything to help me, nothing at all... She stood and watched as if I had really done something terrible, but I can’t even imagine what could be done to they beat me so hard... He beat and beat me... I lost consciousness 2 times, but not for long... Do you know how he brought me to my senses? He took a cold one, no. Ice water and threw it at me again and again... I was shaking all over from the cold, from fear and from pain... When he finished his abuse I was lying... I just couldn’t get up... Everything hurt... Every part of my body... It felt like every bone was broken... So I lay there for several hours... I just lay there and cried, a large puddle even formed under me from tears. But still I was able to get up... I got dressed, collected all my most necessary things and went... As I already said, it was winter outside... It was very cold, a snowstorm.... I sat down near the trash cans and started crying, “Is this really the end?” I sat there for 2 hours, my whole body was numb, I was literally freezing, it seemed just a little more and that was it... But I was wildly lucky at that moment. The snowstorm has subsided. I was even caught in the snow, but I sat motionless, as it was very cold. Some guy came out to take out the trash, he looked at me like I was the last homeless woman, although in principle I was... He asked if everything was okay, offered to help, but I answered rudely purely because of my principles. In the depths of my soul, I wanted him to help me, at least somehow... And even when I sent him, he didn’t leave... He tried to help me in every possible way, and then he touched me P: Wow, you’re completely cold! You'll freeze! You can die like that! Yes, that's it. I'm tired of persuading you! Get up quickly and let's go! He took me by the hand and pulled me out of the resulting snowdrift. I couldn't stand on my feet because I couldn't feel them at all. I couldn’t feel my arms or legs... It was a terrible feeling... Seeing that I couldn’t walk, he picked me up and took me to his home... It was very cozy and warm, the guy made me hot tea, after which I warmed up a little. Then he showed me where the shower was and I lay in the bathtub with hot water for 40 minutes. Then I got out of the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, “What a horror.” I was covered in scratches and bruises. There was simply no living space for me. I tried my best not to cry. I had something to change into, so I put on my pajamas and went to the kitchen, where that same guy was sitting... O: Thank you... - I said very quietly. I had never uttered this word before for as long as I can remember... Therefore, it was new to me, and it was especially new for me to communicate with that guy, because if you think about it, I had no friends at all, and Aglaya and Konchina were just using me... And I didn’t interact with guys at all, so... I was wildly ashamed and unusual... P: You're welcome, have you at least warmed up? You look much better already O: Yes... P: By the way, what is your name? O: Olivia, what about you? M: My name is Maxim, a very beautiful name. By the way, Olivia, what were you doing near the trash cans in this weather? O: I ran away from home... M: Wow... How old are you, if it’s not a secret? O: 14... M: Wow... And... And what would you have done if I hadn’t brought you here O: I think I would have frozen to death... In fact, if I had sat there for another 20 minutes, I would have died... You saved me, thank you again... I just had nowhere to run, and I can no longer be in the same room with my parents... M: God , you’re only 14... What could be wrong with you leaving home in such terrible weather? I told everything that happened that day and earlier. It was clear from his face that he was in shock. M: What a nightmare! I don't even have words! We need to go to the police O: No need!!! M: Why is this?! It’s not normal when parents treat a child like that... A: Believe me, I tried, it only got worse... Much worse, please, if you even care a little, then don’t go there... M: Okay, okay... O: Thank you very much, really... Do you mind if I spend the night with you today and leave tomorrow morning? M: Are you kidding?! Yes, stay as long as you want! Liv, you have nowhere to go, you're not even 16! O: You know... I’m somehow not comfortable.. I’ll embarrass you.. M: What kind of nonsense? I have plenty of space! A: Okay, thank you so much again... So we sat for 2 hours, learning something about each other... I didn’t often communicate with people, so I could blurt out something, but Max understood me. At least that's what I thought. This was my first heart-to-heart conversation in my life. I never felt as good as I felt with him... I forgot absolutely about all the problems... Only he was in my head... Before I didn’t know such a thing as love, but it seems at that moment I felt that I fell in love... Max had a weekend in college, so he spent almost all his free time with me. We walked a lot, talked and just admired each other.. I also found out that he had achieved a lot at the age of 17... Maxim is a popular video blogger, his nickname is TheBrianMaps, when he told me this, I was very happy for him and a little shocked that what he achieved. But the happiness did not last long. The weekend was over and Max had to go back to college. Friends and a huge crowd of fans were waiting for him there. At that time, I was not familiar with such a feeling as jealousy, I understood what it was, but never felt it, but it seems at that moment, I felt it... And I was very familiar with envy, I envied everyone... Especially children who have normal, parents who don't drink and love their children... Now I felt both... I sat at home all day, alone.. And waited for him until late at night... But after 2 days, I got tired... Tired of sitting alone... One day I decided meet him at the college, which I later regretted very much. There was some girl there, he was with a girl and they were kissing... After what I saw, I didn’t want to live... For the first time in my life I fell in love. I ran. As they say... You quickly get used to the good, but to the bad... Maxim already melted my heart at the first meeting my heart seemed to melt, I became more fragile and feminine, but now... I didn’t want to be like that anymore... Why? He doesn’t need me anyway, he has loyal fans and fanatics, a girl... It’s good for him, even if he communicates with them... I don’t know what came over me, but I wildly wanted to express to him all my dissatisfaction and how I didn’t try to stop myself , nothing worked out for me... It was evening, or rather night... Max came cheerful, as if nothing had happened, but I looked at him as if at an enemy, in other words, I saw him with my gaze... At first he tried not to pay attention to it, but when he sat down on the sofa, he could no longer feel warm and asked... M: Liv, is everything okay?... O: Yes. And what?! M: You just look at me like that... O: How “so”? M: Well, that’s it….. Are you sure nothing happened?! O: It happened, Maxim, it happened... M: And what... O: I saw everything... M: What did you see?... I told him how I saw him kissing a girl... M: Are you seriously offended by me because of this? ... Wait, are you jealous of me?!))) O: What?! Jealous?! - I blushed - Dp I don’t need you! I went to my room, slamming the door loudly and cried all night... Maybe I didn’t do the right thing, it’s his business with whom to communicate, to meet... And here I fell from hell knows where, and I’m shaking my rights... Of course I liked him, but I realized that we wouldn’t become anything more than just friends... I realized that I couldn’t sit on Max’s neck forever, so I decided... I’ll go to work... The next morning I woke up, somehow suspiciously quiet... I looked around all the rooms and went down to the 1st floor. I see... I'm alone... Well... In that case, I'll go look for a job... I wandered the streets for 2 hours... But I still didn't find anything sensible... So, am I really cuckoo?! I returned back and went online. Another thing! The 21st century is in the yard, and I was going to look for work on the street, I’m certainly interesting... I plopped down on the bed with a pack of chips.. By the way, I didn’t tell you... Why chips? Do I always eat chips? Why? Everything is simple, or rather not entirely simple... In general... When I was very little, about 5-6 years old... That evening my dad got very drunk and when he came into my room... He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me into the basement... He locked me there, all alone... I thought I would sit there for 2 hours, but it didn’t happen... No matter how much I drummed and screamed... It was all useless... It was very cold and scary there... I felt bad every time I went there, but here it is... I was in a wild panic, I didn’t know what to do, there was no one to ask for help... I sat there for 5 hours, then I really wanted to sleep... I rummaged around a little and found some kind of sheet. Great. I took this sheet, laid it on the floor and lay down, it was very cold, so I just wrapped myself in it. That is, I lay on it and covered myself with it, but this sheet didn’t really help me, I was still cold, but I woke up... I don’t know exactly how long I was there, but I was already dying of hunger, I was wildly hungry there is... I searched everything... And all I found was a pack of chips, I don’t know how they ended up there, but the expiration date was normal. So I lived for a week in the basement, eating only chips... Do you know how I got out of there? No, my parents didn’t let me out... There was a small window, which I didn’t notice right away... I could barely open it and get out... After what happened, I realized... If it weren’t for that pack of chips, I would have died of hunger in that very same place basement... Since then, I eat chips every single day and even carry them with me, you never know what will happen... Looking for a job is not an easy task... You need to have at least some benefit, for sure! I'm going to work at McDonald's! I didn’t even pass the probationary period... I was wildly infuriated by one grandfather who couldn’t make up his mind about his choice. I stood there for half an hour and couldn’t say a word. Well, I couldn’t stand it and threw a chicken burger at him, after such an act I was immediately kicked out... I didn’t find another suitable job all day... Max will come soon, and what will I tell him? What was I doing? I’m just a loser... It’s 11:30 p.m., I hear someone opening the door... It was Max O: “You’re early today,” I said sarcastically. Max just rolled his eyes and went to his room. I also went to my room, slamming the door loudly. What have I done?! I just wanted to apologize, but I can’t... I don’t know how... Damn! I told him this... I live in his apartment, I throw mud at him, and he can generally throw me out the door and that’s it... For 2 hours I sat and thought about how best I should approach and apologize... But suddenly, someone knocked on the door... This was Max M: Will you have some pizza? - he asked coldly O: I will. He was about to leave, but I stopped him. O: Max, wait... M: What? O: Forgive me... I shouldn’t have said so many nasty things to you... It’s just that I’ve never felt the feelings that I feel with you before and... It’s your business with whom to communicate and with whom not... I don’t know how to communicate with people, I don’t know how to ask forgiveness. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll understand... I’ll pack my things and leave right now M: God, what are you... This is all bullshit... I’m not going to put you out on the street because of such a trifle, how could you even think that - he said with a smile on your face - by the way, you’re not even bad at asking for forgiveness... You know, forgive me too, I may have hurt your feelings, but know. I didn’t do it on purpose... I smiled and wanted to say that I forgive him, but tears involuntarily flowed from my eyes, I don’t know, maybe these are tears of happiness? And the strangest thing is that I couldn’t stop it... M: Liv, that’s it, stop... Let’s just forget about what happened? O: C-come on... Suddenly someone rang the doorbell M: Oh, Finally, I'm so hungry... Max ran to open the door, and in the meantime I decided to get myself in order. When I went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror and saw my reflection, I was simply horrified... I looked like a monster. Bags under the eyes, all the mascara has run... Some kind of nightmare. After about 20 minutes, I cleaned myself up and went downstairs, Max was already sitting there. He looked at me like, “Hurry up, otherwise I’ll eat it myself.” I went down and sat down at the table M: FaaakO: What is it?! M: I completely forgot ... Oh: what have I forgotten? M: To order Kola ... oh: Ugh for you, joker ... I thought something serious M: What are you?! This is very serious, but not to drink pizza with water ... Oh: uh, Nuu is yeah ... m: In short, get dressed for: Where? M: Where, where, to the store! A: Well, I ran to the top to dress. And now after 5 minutes I stood dressed. Max was already ready. Surprisingly, the weather in St. Petersburg was good ... We walked slowly and chatted about this ... And now we are at the store ... Well, then nothing unusual ... We bought a stake with chips and popcorn, and went home. M: Well, vooot .... While we went to the store, Pizza is already cooling down ((o: o: Blaueen, nothing. I'm so hungry that I also took off the cold pizza, we ate pizza in general, imprisoned 10 minutes, it turned out to be a tasty, even cold. Then awkward Silence M: Har, well, since they bought popcorn, maybe we'll see the movie? Oh: a good idea) We watched the movie all evening. No, this is no romance, but a horror film ... It was a cool evening ... I woke up on the sofa, next to it Max was sleeping “God, apparently we watched the film to such an extent that we were too lazy to even go up to the 2nd floor and go to our rooms” I did not know how to wake Max and wake up at all ... on 12 hours, but he was sleeping so sweetly ... When I cleaned the table, I “accidentally” hit a plate from under Popcorn and he fell, the roar of the entire apartment. Max already jumped up m: huh?! What?! What?!- I started to cough-Olivia! Not Olivia! Not! A funny joke ... let me sleep more ... Oh: yeah, sleep ... And you know how much time?! M: And how much ... o: 12 hours m: what? !! 12? !! So, you have to quickly remove everything ... So , help me please ... Max hesitated sharply when I found out how long. It seemed to me very strange ... I was worn here throughout the apartment .. Oh: Max, what's going on?! M: Ah? What? You will find out soon ... This is a surprise! A: So that you know, I do not like surprises ... M: nothing, this one will like it, I have to like it ... Oh: um ... ok ... okay ... Max dressed (he also forced me) and we went to the store, taking a lot of food ... I seem to start Understand what is happening. A: MAAKS ... M: What?! A: You decided to introduce me to your parents? M: Nuu, not really ... Oh: what then? M: You will find out soon ... Oh: oh .... We reached Mom as usual, nothing supernatural happened to us. And here he is, house, dear house! Having taken off his outer clothing, Max went to the kitchen .. Damn, is he going to cook?! Only this ... if in Krazia, then he tried to cook but years, but in the end he almost burned the apartment oh: let's better yam: it was okay for about 30 minutes, we sat on the couch, when suddenly someone called about: who is this this ? M: Now you will find out ... Max quickly went to the door, I followed him. He opened the door ...

Olivia also did not abandon her modeling and journalistic careers. Photos of the beauty are happily published by Men's Health, Men's Edge, Playboy, in the latter she was even awarded the title of girl of the month. Mann occasionally appears on television, appears in videos of famous musicians, and writes articles for magazines.
At the beginning of 2020, rumors spread that Olivia was dating actor, Guardian of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt. The man broke up in the summer of 2017 after a 10-year relationship with actress Anna Faris.
Naturally, it was not possible to find out about the celebrity romance; Olivia remained silent. The paparazzi helped - photographers caught the movie stars having dinner in a restaurant. For this gossip, Mann had to make excuses to Chris’s ex-lover on Instagram. The woman addressed Anna a message:
“I would never respond to tabloid rumors, but since we know each other, I want to contact you personally and tell you that Chris and I are not having an affair, all the rumors are lies. I’m sure you know this, maybe you don’t care, but I just want to tell you personally that it’s not true.”
