Olivia Munn feels "envious" of healthy people since her diagnosis with breast cancer

In an interview with Time magazine after being named one of the publication's Women of the year 2025, Olivia explained: "I've always heard people say like 'Health is wealth' right you hear it, you know it.

"It was just really interesting when I was looking at people with no health issues and being for the first time, so envious of that.

"Because when you get diagnosed with any cancer, even through treatment, even through surgeries, you are looking over your shoulder for the rest of your life.

"It doesn't matter the accolades you have collected or the success you've had in your career or how much money you have, when I look at the people who are healthy, that's what I'm envious of because it just hits you.

"You know, you're going through life and you get a diagnosis like cancer, and your whole world changes and everything becomes that focus."

Olivia went public with her health battle last year, but she's now admitted she initially wanted to keep her issues a secret - even from her closest friends and family - because she didn't want to deal with their "fear and their worry" on top of her own.

However, she eventually relented and allowed her husband John Mulaney break the news to his loved ones.

Olivia - who is mum to children Mei and Malcolm with her husband - recently admitted she struggled with "guilt" after being unable to care for the kids during her cancer fight.

During an appearance on the 'TODAY show', she explained: "There is a lot of guilt that I had and still have from being sick for so long and being bedridden with so many surgeries.

"I mean, I thought that when I got through the big chunk of surgeries, like the four surgeries in the beginning, that I would be able to get back on my feet.

"But then, there came the first wave of medication, and that just knocked me down and was debilitating."

Olivia recalled feeling "tired" and admitted she "couldn't hold" her baby boy at one point, adding: "It was really exhausting and there's just a lot of guilt."
