Olivia Munn is revealing the ridiculous reason why she met James Marsden in high school.
while talking to People Magazine to promote its upcoming season of Apple Television series Your friends and neighbors, Munn revealed that she met her co-star James for ice cream when they were in high school in Oklahoma.
The 45-year-old American actress shared that she was great friends with James’s sister, Jenny Marsden, when they were growing up. He was raised in Tokyo before returning to his birthplace at the age of 16.
Before meeting Jenny at school, he admitted that he “found it really hard to meet friends.” Both girls graduated from the school in 1998, while James left the school in 1991 after graduating.
Recalling his first conversation with James X-Men: Apocalypse Starr said, “When I met him, he was very influential on me and my way of thinking.”
“I thought, ‘I’m going to lock in, and everyone else is telling me it’s a lofty goal, I’m not listening. I’m going to keep going.’ It’s interesting because we’ve talked about this a lot, because you never know when you’re going to impact someone’s life. It may be a very small moment to you, but it could be a huge memory to someone else,” she explained.
Munn confessed that she once “had to apologize so many times” because she accompanied Jenny to her room several times in James’s absence while he was in Los Angeles.
“Oh, this is new information that this was actually a recurring phenomenon,” the 52-year-old American actor joked.
It’s worth mentioning that Olivia Munn and James Marsden are playing the roles of Samantha “Sam” Levitt and Owen Ashe, respectively. Your friends and neighbors.
your friends and neighbors Season two is scheduled to premiere on Friday, March 3, 2026 on Apple TV+.
