Olivia Munn opens up about 'terrifying' cancer battle, praises John Mulaney as an 'incredibly hands-on father'


Olivia Munn has opened up about her 'terrifying' battle with breast cancer, praising her partner, John Mulaney, for being an 'incredibly hands-on father' to their 2-year-old son.

At the time, the 43-year-old actress and comedian was weeks away from shooting a new sci-fi film in Germany, and had welcomed her son Malcolm with her partner, John Mulaney, just two years before. Munn waited until early fall to undergo her reconstructive surgery, giving her body time to heal — and all the while kept her journey away from the public eye. The actress is taking the symptoms — which include hot flashes and thinning hair — in stride, adding that she is determined to raise awareness for other women at risk of breast cancer.
