CraveOnline: First thing I've got to ask is what do you think of Crave?
Olivia Munn: Well, it's one of the sites that Kevin goes to every day. There's a multitude and Crave is definitely one of them. Sometimes I'll swing by his desk. A couple times a week we'll come by and he'll literally run down the stuff. The best thing about Crave and sites like you guys is that we love going to blogs and places like Crave because it's timely. We were making a joke about newspapers the other day because people like Crave and these online sites make everything current. The fact that you spend so much time updating and things like that makes it somewhere that we want to stop every day.
Olivia Munn: Mine was the Olympics. You know when you get the Olympics you can play all the games? It was for the PC. They also had the Sumo wrestling one you'd play on the PC.
CraveOnline: Summer Games, Winter Games, California Games!
Olivia Munn: Yeah, I killed. I was so good that I broke the game. Now I don't know if it just broke because we played so much but the family would always say, "You beat it so good that you broke it" and I loved that.
CraveOnline: You do a daily show. How much time do you have to actually play games?
Olivia Munn: Well, he unnecessarily comes in early. I think he shouldn’t come in that early. I like to come in as late as possible and I love, because we're live every day, you have to keep yourself entertained so sometimes I actually like to cold read it, like not even read a joke or anything. It's horrible to do which is why I say things like McHammer because I haven't read it through. But it does mean I'm entertained. My days are usually like my play is actually work. I'm doing a lot of other stuff so I don't come in until later but Kevin is at work all day long.
CraveOnline: What is the daily schedule, like hair and makeup for you?
Olivia Munn: It's an hour. We have a hair person work on my hair at the same time someone's doing my makeup. I won't be in there longer than that. If they can't do it in an hour, I don't want to. I've actually learned, because I'm always doing so much, I've learned to e-mail and text on my blackberry with my eyes closed. I can do it. I'm a good multitasker but our schedule is, we have a 12:30 readthrough. I prefer to come in at 2 and just readthrough in makeup. I prefer my schedule to be 2 to 5. They would like it to be 12:30 to 5.
CraveOnline: What's the coolest stunt you got to do because of the show?
Olivia Munn: Actually, do you know Ninja Warrior? Ninja Warrior, if you look it up, it's a crazy Japanese game show. It's this ridiculous obstacle course. It's like Gladiator except just you against this ridiculous obstacle course. Kevin and I will be going there at the end of the year, back to Japan and we're going to compete in it. Now the best part is that we got them to play for training and nutrition because we said we wouldn't go unless you paid for free training and nutrition. Any way that we can get a free trip, we just love which is the best part.
CraveOnline: Are there any sexy fanboy costumes coming up?
Olivia Munn: Well, I just did another Wonder Woman thing but we still need to do Heavenly Sword. We actually were going to do Heavenly Sword but the guy that we hired as Kratos came in with frickin' pinkeye. We hired a set and producers and cameramen and lighting and audio and extras, and I come there, the guy has pinkeye. I actually kind of like not having to do them because the weight I have to try to get it.
CraveOnline: Speaking of weight, you made jokes about vomiting right after The Style Network presented Ruby, trying to lose 300 pounds.
Olivia Munn: We were warned not to say those kind of things. I just can't help it. I think of something funny to say. Was it funny?
Olivia Munn: Was it really inappropriate when I said he does me in the ass?
CraveOnline: That, I expected. I'd seen you give that quote before.
Olivia Munn: Because of people like you and the entire community of Crave and all the other communities online, we weren't afraid to go into this room. The other people who work in E and Style, because that's our family now, obviously one of these things doesn't look like the other. They're afraid that people don't know us but people like your website and everybody else, that's media now, my friends, and they know who we are and we cater to them. We were totally fine going in. We're like, "There's going to be, thankfully, people like you there that are educated and know the show."
CraveOnline: And who chase you down afterwards.
Olivia Munn: Yeah, makes us feel like a star.
CraveOnline: Now you talk about weight, which I'm used to hearing from gorgeous stars. Where does that come from?
Olivia Munn: I booked a print job and when I came out here, I was lucky enough to not have to be bartending or waitressing like a lot of people do. I came out and I've always been thin, like a size 2, but there's different variations of size 2s. It's bigger and smaller and whatever. I have to work to not get bigger. Somewhere in my genetics, my sister's a larger girl and my stepsister's a larger girl.
CraveOnline: Stepsister is actually not genetic.
Olivia Munn: I'm done with this interview.
CraveOnline: See what happens when I try to play?
Olivia Munn: Yeah, now I'm ending the interview. No, I'm just kidding. So I booked a job, a print job and I get to the job and the guy's like, "Okay, you're clearly the biggest girl here so you're going to have to probably go with the bigger sizes here because I actually don't know if you fit into anything over here but since I paid for you, I might as well use you. All right, let's go." I felt horrible, but on the same token, I could take it.
CraveOnline: But didn't you also expect that coming to Hollywood?
Olivia Munn: Mm hmm. I never expect things to be easy. I never expect, you see girls that come out here and they're the prettiest girl in their school and they think that being out here, you can't just be the prettiest girl in your school or your town. You've got to be the prettiest girl out of a lot of people and it's not just pretty. It's about working hard and being prepared and studying and doing all the things you have to do. So when I get here it's like okay.
CraveOnline: But you know the crazy casting people say that, when most of the world thinks you look great.
Olivia Munn: You think the rest of the world isn't like that? No, I have a perspective. I know that I'm thin and I know that I'm a size 2. It gets to the point for me, the only way that I could deal with living in this world and living in LA, because it may be that one crazy one that says it to you, but everyone's kind of thinking it. We are in a world where looks matter. Frickin' the Tyra Banks show, America's Next Top Model put a girl who's size 10 or 12 and she's a plus size? That to me is ridiculous.
CraveOnline: No one's actually into those waif girls.
Olivia Munn: But that girl wasn't plus size. The one on America's Next Top Model, she was just more voluptuous. My point is that I have a perspective of myself and I try to do the best for myself. I don't try to cater to the network or to whatever. I even admit it on the show. Once I showed my pants sometimes have to be unbuttoned because I eat too much pie. I say that because it is true. I go through spurts. When I need to lose weight, I'll lose weight but I do it for myself and I do it for how I want to look and I'm not going to let anybody else pressure me into it which means in ten years I'll be ridiculously big.
CraveOnline: Maybe it'll make you feel good to know that one Halloween, I went as Nacho Libre and let it all hang out.
Olivia Munn: Nice. Wait, you don't have a belly. Did you have to push it out?
CraveOnline: Oh, thank you. I do still have one, but I also lost 30 pounds.
Olivia Munn: How'd you lose the weight?
CraveOnline: Weight Watchers. Turns out you can't eat whatever you want just because you run 70 minutes and lift weights.
Olivia Munn: Yeah, when people are like, "Oh, I just work out and I can eat whatever I want."
CraveOnline: How do you keep the energy up on the show?
Olivia Munn: This is what happens. Sometimes Kevin looks at me and goes, "I'm really low today. I'm sorry but you're going to have to pick it up." And I go, "Cool, no big deal, I'm here for you." Then I'll say to him, "Kevin, I'm having a really hard day. You have to pick it up." So the energy is really like a give and take between the both of us.
CraveOnline: Were there parents and teachers who used to say, "Stop playing all those games?"
Olivia Munn: Oh yeah. Now they act like they always believed in you.
CraveOnline: Have you ever thought of doing a dance movie so you can bust a move on screen?
Olivia Munn: Oh, that'd be awesome. If anybody has a great dance movie, I would totally do it. You should write one.
CraveOnline: You dance so much on the show, how did you develop your dance moves?
Olivia Munn: I kind of jokey dance on the show but I've been taking dance since I was a little girl. I like to jokey dance but I was a cheerleader and I did dance since I was eight. I would love to do, maybe not like a Honey, but maybe a Jam. We'll just call it Jelly or something. I don't know, I'll talk to my people about it.
CraveOnline: I want to ask an inappropriate question myself. Have you ever worn the Wonder Woman costume home for a special guy?
Olivia Munn: No. I haven't. I don't know, because honestly, they're all uncomfortable. Harnessing my boobs to get into place…
CraveOnline: Well, you wouldn't have to keep it on for very long.
Olivia Munn: But I've got to get home and drive in them.
CraveOnline: I didn't expect you to drive home in it. I mean bring it with you for the bedroom.
