HBO "Newsroom" Star Olivia Munn Admits To Anxiety Disorders, "I Rip Out My Eyelashes"
Actress Olivia Munn revealed she has two anxiety disorders. One of them includes plucking her own eyelashes out.
The "Magic Mike" star confessed to having trichotillomania, an impulse control disorder, in an exclusive interview with The Daily News.
"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes," admits the "Babymakers" star. "It doesn't hurt, but it's really annoying. Every time I run out of the house, I have to stop and pick up a whole set of fake eyelashes."
Munn also claims to suffer from social anxiety which stemmed from moving around a lot when she was younger because her stepfather was in the Air Force, according to the report.
"...no one was nice to the new kid. So there is always this feeling that someone will make fun of me."
Munn is half-Chinese, was born in Oklahoma and raised in Japan. She currently plays a news reporter on HBO's "The Newsroom" with Aaron Sorkin and is dating "The Killings" actor Joel Kinnaman. Other television stints include serving as a correspondent on "The Daily Show" which is hosted by Jon Stewart and the gamer TV series "Attack of the Show!"
She has appeared in many magazine pictorials: The Italian Vanity Fair's "Hollywood Issue," the covers of Playboy, Maxim and FHM and was called "Babe of the Month" by Playboy.
As an actress, Munn has had smaller roles in "Date Night," "I Don't know How She Does It" and "Iron Man 2."
Munn added 'author' to her resume when she released a book in 2010, "Suck It, Wonder Woman: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek."
In "The Babymakers," Munn plays a married woman who is so desperate to get pregnant that her husband tries to rob a sperm bank. Aisha Tyler, Olivia Munn, Paul Schneider, Noureen DeWulf and Constance Zimmer star in the film.
"The Babymakers" will be released nationwide on August 3.
