Olivia Munn said she “cried [for] a week” after seeing her breasts for the first time following a double mastectomy surgery for breast cancer.
“I cried [for] a week after because that was the first time I saw my breasts,” she said during the “SheMD” podcast Tuesday.
The “X-Men: Apocalypse” actress, 43, said she had expanders in to stretch the skin and muscle to make room for a future, more permanent implant.


“I was by myself in my bathroom, and I looked at them, and I cried in a way that I don’t think I’ve ever cried in my life,” she added. “I cried. I was devastated. I didn’t recognize myself.”
Munn went on to explain how surgeons told her she would have to place a larger implant in her breasts because they removed so much of her tissue.
“I didn’t want to have big breasts,” she shared. “You think, ‘I’m here.’ All I care about is that I’m alive and I’m here for my baby. But putting that to the side, one day people will forget or not know, or maybe I’ll never tell people that I had cancer, but they’ll look at me and go, ‘Oh, what a bad boob job. Oh, look at her.'”

One of Munn’s main concerns was how she was going to be able to “dress herself” with her larger breasts.
“I thought, ‘Oh, there are so many things that I’ll never be able to wear,'” she said.
“It just looked like someone took off my breasts and then gave me like, and then took like some tape and paper and Tupperware and were like, ‘Here.'”
In March, Munn announced she underwent a double mastectomy after being diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023.


Though the “Predator” star revealed that she and her sister tested negative for the BRCA gene — the most well-known gene to cause cancer — and her mammogram came back clear, her doctor urged her to calculate her Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Score as an additional precaution.
After Munn went in for an MRI, an ultrasound and a biopsy, it was confirmed she had luminal B cancer in both breasts.
The mom of one underwent a double mastectomy 30 days later and has gone through several additional surgeries since her diagnosis, including a full hysterectomy.


Munn, who shares son Malcolm, 2, with partner John Mulaney, said she documented her cancer journey so her son can watch it one day in case she “didn’t make it.”
“If I didn’t make it, I wanted my son, when he got older, to know that I fought to be here, that I tried my best,” the ”New Girl” alum admitted on “Good Morning America” last month.
“You want the people in your life that maybe don’t understand what’s going on right now to know that you did everything you could to be here.”
