Olivia Munn Says Male Co-Star Halted Shoot Rather Than Be Saved Onscreen

She did not name the actor or project.

Overview

  • Olivia Munn, in an April 8 appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, said a male co-star refused to let her character save him and paused filming for about 45 minutes.
  • She described a bunker shootout where the actor declared, “She can’t save me,” and argued with the director in front of the crew.
  • Munn said she defused the standoff by suggesting they switch positions so it appeared she took her own target, which she says left the action unchanged.
  • She has not identified the co-star or the production, and outlets report no independent confirmation or public response from anyone involved.
  • Munn framed the story as an example of on‑set sexism and noted past experiences, including alleging a Newsroom director tried to hurt her job prospects and saying she once refused a seven‑figure NDA after a traumatic set incident.
