Star Wouldn't Let Her Character Save His
Deadline • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Olivia Munn shared an experience on The Drew Barrymore Show about an “obnoxious” male co-star who stopped filming because he objected to her character saving his in a scene.
- The scene involved Munn’s character shooting a threat to save the male character, but the co-star refused to accept being saved by a female character, causing a 45-minute halt in production.
- Munn resolved the conflict by suggesting a script change that framed the action as a character switch rather than a rescue, which satisfied the co-star without altering the actual scene.
- She highlighted the incident as an example of male insecurity on set despite her playing strong female roles.
- Olivia Munn currently stars as Samantha Levitt in Season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors, streaming Fridays on Apple TV+.
