Olivia Munn made her siblings re-enact ‘Star Wars’ with her when they were kids.
The ‘Magic Mike’ star knew she wanted to be an actress from a young age and would force her brothers and sisters to act out scenes from the sci-fi blockbuster with her but Olivia’s brother would never let her be space smuggler Han Solo – who was played by Harrison Ford.
In an interview with Prestige Hong Kong magazine, she said: ”I grew up in a family of five siblings. I’m the second youngest. I loved making everyone laugh and impersonating teachers. If we all got into trouble at home and were sent to our rooms, I’d be the one to get everyone to laugh. I’d make everyone re-enact an entire movie. ‘Let’s all do ‘Star Wars’!’ I’d be Han Solo, but my brother would tell me I was Princess Leia. I just loved being able to play around. I always wanted to do be an actress, but of course you never think you’re going to be able to.”
Olivia’s career has been going well since she made her big screen debut in ‘Scarecrow Gone Wild’ in 2004 and will be seen playing superhero Psylocke in ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ next year.
Despite her success, the 34-year-old screen beauty insists she doesn’t set herself goals to reach because she’d be too worried about not achieving them.
She explained: ”I don’t always do a lot of goal setting, only because I’m afraid, ‘What if I don’t make them?’ It’s easier if you kind of know what your goals are instead of just completely setting them out there. It’s too hard to set career goals, especially in a career when a lot of the time it’s not up to you – it’s up to producers, directors, writers, the audience. If I don’t make the goals, then I don’t have to feel bad about not achieving them.”
