In an interview with The New York Daily News, Olivia Munn admitted to suffering from an impulse control disorder known as trichotillomania.

"I don't bite my nails, but I rip out my eyelashes," the 32-year-old actress explained. "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 -- who is currently dating "The Killing's" Joel Kinnaman, 32 -- also admits to having social anxiety disorder. "I don't think anyone would describe me as weak, but I don't want people to be mean to me," she said. "As an Air Force kid, I moved around a lot when I was younger and no one was nice to the new kid. So there is always this feeling that someone will make fun of me."

Though her career is hotter than ever, thanks to roles in "Magic Mike," HBO's "The Newsroom" and the upcoming flick "The Babymakers," Munn doesn't buy into her own hype. "I know how lucky I am, but I won't allow myself to get sucked in by all the talk. Talk is just for a moment," she said. "This career has to last for a long time."

"People tell me, 'Your work won't keep you warm at night,'" Munn told The New York Daily News. "But it does pay for my heat and my down comforter, so it technically does."

My reaction to reading this: high five HOLDER! I'm impressed.

 

[strafer]

She's got a nice ass though.

 

[ChiTownBuffalo]

I like her.

 

[malyce]

She's got a nice ass though.

 

[bud]

she's a disgusting, smelly pirate hooker.

 

[brianjones]

but did you see her wear glasses and speak japanese on newsroom

 

[FStop7]

I have the same problem when under a lot of stress. I pick my eyebrow or eyelashes.

 

[G-Fex]

Bull

 

[SUPREME1]

Attractive woman.

 

[ToxicAdam]

Her acting is poor. But a lot of Hollywood movies just need pretty placeholders.

 

[adamsappel]

Never understood the hate.

 

[Gregorn]

Perfect image.

 

[Izick]

She seems okay to me. Definitely beautiful.

 

[gdt]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm remembering those leaked pics of her

 

[ConfusingJazz]

she's a disgusting, smelly pirate hooker.

My kinda woman!

 

[NaturalHigh]

Dat bak dimple

 

[Izick]

Also, the whole eyelash thing seems kind of personal, so that's kind of big that she shared that with people.

 

[Kurita]

Is she a new Megan Fox ?

 

[Borgnine]

So her disorder manifests itself by her taking off her fake eyelashes? Why is this a problem.

 

[RustyNails]

She's pretty decent in Newsroom. You all should watch that show.

 

[Slayer-33]

She's got a nice ass though.

Hello ass we meet again.

 

[Kinitari]

I wish her luck, not everyone who gets into the acting game is freaking... Morgan freeman or whatnot, there is plenty of room for actors who fill in the non-lead roles, and that's sort of what I feel like Munn is now. Who knows, maybe even one day she'll hit her stride.

 

[Decado]

Wow. Joel is dating her? He's doing rather well for himself lately.

 

[Skellig Gra]

She must have read that thread yesterday about the bugs that lay eggs in your eyelashes.

 

[Escape Goat]

So her disorder manifests itself by her taking off her fake eyelashes? Why is this a problem.

Its a problem, I suppose, when you don't have fake eyelashes to replace your real ones. I have long eyelashes and they get bent and I see them in my vision, and it becomes an obsession to remove them. Its incredibly hard to resist.

 

[SmokyDave]

Ever since her 'naughty' photos leaked, I haven't been able to hear or read the words 'Olivia Munn' without pitching a tent. Girl is filthy.

mmmmm yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

She wants to be choked a little.

 

[BadAss2961]

I like her.

Yeah, i'm becoming a bit of a fan. She's been good in The Newsroom.

Nice pics in this thread... Is that 5 sausages? Not bad.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

TDS and Newsroom the first times I've seen her. Seems like a poor comedian and quite decent actress. But I guess daring to be pretty and pandering to "geeks" at one time deserves recrimination.

Every time I ask for a reason someone hates her, they always tell me something that I find attractive. I don't understand.

 

[harSon]

She's got a nice ass though.

We really need to work on people's definition of an ass, because Olivia Munn doesn't have one.

But she does have fake eyelashes, so it's not a problem. I have long eyelashes too, girls compliment me on them all the time. Do you want to butterfly kiss eachother?

 

[R2D4]

go 2 a doctor

lol for what?

I have the same problem and I just trim them with scissors every few weeks.

 

[LQX]

I actually think her acting is great in Newsroom. I like her more than that annoying British woman with the squinty face.

Oh, gosh, can we? Its all I've ever wanted.

it's the gaf solution

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

but did you see her wear glasses and speak japanese on newsroom

No, but saw her get naked in Magic Mike. For what that's worth.

I thought I lived on a different planet when everyone said Pippa had an ass.

 

[Trigger]

Joel Kinnaman? Good choice Munn.

 

[Messypandas]

she does have an ass. maybe redefine nice instead

son

don't be the stereotype

 

[harSon]

son

don't be the stereotype

I'm mixed though!

 

[Why would you do that?]

When I was younger, specifically grade 5, I too used to pull out my eyelashes because of whatever problems I've had. It sucked going to school and having 1/2 of one eye without lashes and some keen-eyed kids questioning it. Those were some tough times...

 

[SmokyDave]

See the bit 'round the back between the top of her thighs and the bottom of her lower back?

That is an ass.

 

[Escape Goat]

Do a search for Olivia Munn sausages and you get dozens of hits. Search for Kevin Pereira sausages and you get none.

But, Kevin forgot to cover his tracks on youtube.

 

[Count Dookkake]

I like her schtick and I think she is hot.

Also, she smells nice.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

No, but saw her get naked in Magic Mike. For what that's worth.

Wait, really?

 

[Vermillion]

Indeed.

Its a problem, I suppose, when you don't have fake eyelashes to replace your real ones. I have long eyelashes and they get bent and I see them in my vision, and it becomes an obsession to remove them. Its incredibly hard to resist.

I don't resist. I always pick my eyelashes. Goddamn their length.
