AceShowbiz - Olivia Munn was quietly battling cancer for almost a year. In March, the actress announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer the previous year and had four surgeries in the previous ten months, including a double mastectomy. The "X-Men: Apocalypse" star described the cancer as "aggressive" and "fast moving," but said it was caught with "enough time that I had options."
After undergoing breast reconstruction surgery, the 43-year-old got candid on her struggle to come to terms with her new breasts. "I didn't want to have big breasts. I didn't want them to look like a boob job," she expressed her frustration in June. Despite her initial reaction to her new boobs, Olivia has confidently returned to red carpet, including at the Vogue World show in Paris with her now-husband John Mulaney.
