Olivia Munn reveals she ‘felt like an expectant father' while waiting for her daughter to arrive via surrogate
Olivia Munn knows that in the end it worked out exactly as it should. Although while the actress, 44, was waiting for the arrival of her second child, daughter Méi, now 8 months, via surrogate, she wasn't sure she felt totally connected. Munn, who also shares son Malcom, 3, with husband John Mulaney told People in an interview published Saturday, that waiting for Méi to be born 'was the first time I was like, 'Oh wait, is this what it's like to be an expectant dad?'' 'A lot of times people say, 'Oh, the dads don't really connect with the baby until it's right there in front of them,' ' she explained. 'The dads, they're not carrying the baby. I carried Malcolm, so I understood from the very genesis, like, okay, I've got a life in me. Your body is changing and your energy is changing and your hair is changing and everything's changing, so it feels very real all the time.' This time around, Munn and Mulaney, 42, opted for a surrogate after the 'Buddy Games' alum underwent a double mastectomy and hysterectomy following her breast cancer diagnosis. 'Even though it all felt very real for me, and our surrogate and I spoke all the time and she'd send me videos, it was a little bit of, 'Oh wait, she's coming,'' Munn continued. 'I felt like an expectant father.' 'It was important to do it at that moment, but it was also scary because my type of cancer feeds on hormones, and there are a lot of hormone injections with IVF,' the 'Your Friends & Neighbors' star said about deciding to do an egg retrieval before her cancer surgeries. After the procedure, Munn shared she was able to retrieve seven eggs, with two of the embryos being 'strong enough to be tested for abnormalities and the gender.' 'I remember I was on a walk with John, and I said, 'I really don't think that I'll be okay unless we get two girl embryos. I know this puts me at risk, but I just need you to support me,' ' Munn recounted. 'He said, 'Whatever you need.' ' The Hollywood vet's doctor then called and confirmed she had two healthy female embryos. As Munn put it, 'that was a sign for me everything was going to be okay.' And when it came to choosing a surrogate to carry their daughter, one thing in particular mattered most: 'The number one thing that I wanted in a surrogate was someone who was kind.' She added, 'I just wanted her to be kind, and I needed her to understand that this is a path that I had to go on. This is not a choice I would've made for myself.' 'The first thing I worried about was if I would be able to find somebody who would love and take care of my daughter as much as I would,' Munn went on. 'We were so lucky to find someone so kind who we bonded with so much.' Despite finding someone they trusted, 'The Daily Show' alum 'had a concern of 'Will my daughter know me?' ' Once their little one arrived, all worries washed away for the mom-of-two. 'Méi would cry, and I was the only one who could get her to stop,' she said. 'I knew she knew me, and I knew her. She's got this stick-straight hair that I had when I was a baby. I think because I wasn't able to carry her, I really needed to see myself in her. I see myself in her so much.' Looking at where her life is now, two years after receiving a life altering cancer diagnosis, Munn gushed: 'It's so crazy to think that I'm sitting here with two amazing babies. I'm just so happy and grateful, and I'm really proud of what I've been able to do. I didn't know how much strength I had inside me.' Elsewhere in the interview, the 'Attack of the Show!' vet admitted that she and her other half might not be entirely done having kids. The pair still have one viable frozen female embryo. 'Two [kids] is a lot,' she told the outlet. 'We're still talking if we are done growing our family.' In May, Mulaney took a moment to praise his wife of almost a year. The comedian said while on the SiriusXM podcast, 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name,' 'I always look back on her the when she was diagnosed in April [2023], through that whole year and go, 'She wasn't just courageous, but she was also so fun … like, we had so much fun.' ' 'It's weird; I go through iPhone photos and I go, 'Oh that's you, me, and Malcolm in the backyard with the kiddie pool when he decided to just pour so many pebbles into the storm drain and clog it up and whatever it was,' and … that was 3 weeks after your lymph node dissection.' Mulaney noted that 'it wasn't just the courage of it. She also was just giving us — it's always just her greatest best self throughout it.'

Michael Douglas on His Timely Doc ‘America's Burning' and His Own Political Ambitions: ‘In 'American President,' I Knew How the Script Ended'
David Smick was trying to decide on a title for his new documentary about the division taking place in America. 'I had a number of clever, abstract titles for the film,' he notes. He says it was executive producer Barry Levinson who told him: 'Dave, have you ever heard of the movie 'Dangerous Marine Animals on the Cape Cod Coast'? No, because they call it 'Jaws.' So, I went with 'America's Burning,' because I thought: you can picture that. And I had anticipated things were going to get worse.' Smick premiered 'America's Burning' a year ago at the Tribeca Film Festival. Narrated and executive produced by Michael Douglas, the film features interviews from such figures as James Carville and Leon Panetta as it details the discord between people on opposite sides of the political spectrum. It also preaches optimism in urging people and politicians to strive for unity. At the time of its premiere, notes Douglas, 'It might have been perceived as being over the top. Now it's almost underestimating what's happened since then.' But still, he says, 'The message is more important and stronger than ever.' More from Variety Martin Scorsese, Catherine Deneuve, Michael Douglas Among Star Guests at Taormina Film Festival Michael Douglas to Be Celebrated at Italy's Taormina Film Festival Where 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' Copy Will Screen (EXCLUSIVE) Michael Douglas Reminisces About Meeting Now-Wife Catherine Zeta-Jones During Career Tribute at Deauville Film Festival Smick, the chairman and CEO of the macroeconomic advisory firm Johnson Smick International as well as a bestselling author and filmmaker, is trying to maintain that positive outlook. 'I'm an optimist by nature, but there are a lot of challenges we didn't have a year ago,' he notes. 'We're discovering we're one recession away from a major social upheaval if we're not careful.' Smick points to 'so much underlying economic anger' over the distribution of wealth in the country despite our economic system being 'the envy of the world.' Smick adds, 'We're doing terrific, except we've got this underlying potential cancer that could spread, and all we need is a stiff recession, and then we're going to see the anger come out of the woodwork, and people are going to be shocked, I think.' Despite how much the world has changed since the film's premiere, Smick says he didn't see any need to add an epilogue or a coda for its streaming release. 'I didn't think it needed to be updated,' he notes. Though he is open to exploring the topic further, perhaps in a longer form. 'You go to these screenings, and I watch the audience. I wish I had two hours because there's so many issues you could get into, but you're limited. I'm thinking if we ever did expand it, it would be because someone came along and wanted to do a series.' Bringing on the man who intoned the famous 'greed is good' line in his Oscar-winning performance in 'Wall Street' was a stroke of genius, but Smick also got a welcome collaborator with Douglas. The actor came aboard when the director sent him an early cut of the film, in which Smick had provided his own narration. 'It had his excellent voiceover. They didn't need me,' he notes. Disagrees Smick, 'I have a very soft voice, not very distinctive. I said to my producer, Ian Michaels, 'We should see if there's a celebrity that can dominate this.'' He hired a casting director to work with. 'I said, 'I'd like to have someone who's center, but left to center, who is troubled by the fact that the country is so divided. I think there's a part of the country we could never agree with, but someone who [people] could get behind a movie that may be represented about 70% of the country or 80% of the country.' And first was on the list was Michael.' Douglas was instantly taken. 'It resonated with me, with all the concerns that I had, which was the loss of our middle class was having, the tremendous amount of money that the Supreme Court allowed into our elections and our lack of bipartisanship. I thought it was a good message, if I could help support it.' And Smick wants everyone to know that Douglas' EP credit was earned – he didn't just read a script and do some promos. 'His contributions were enormous,' Smick says, adding that Douglas had suggestions about moving chapters around and rearranging some things. 'I would say, minimum, his changes injected 55% more energy into the film.' Douglas says he was happy to lend his name to the film to attract attention. 'But the interesting and frustrating point was how difficult it was to get distribution,' he reveals. 'There were a lot of companies that, when we initially showed this, I think were a little afraid of it. Even though the attempt was to really be bipartisan, not picking on one party or the other.' He adds, 'So kudos to Amazon, and I'm happy they came around. And kudos to David, in terms of [how] he foresaw what was coming.' Despite having portrayed one of cinema's greatest presidents in Rob Reiner's 1995 film 'The American President,' Douglas says he has no interest in aspiring to the White House in real life. 'No, no, I'm 80,' he demurs. 'That's the magic turn-off age.' Smick, for his part, says people constantly come up to Douglas to repeat the lines from the film. 'That must happen like 10 times a month,' he responds, 'In 'American President,' I knew how the script ended. That's the big difference.'

Olivia Munn was left feeling like an ‘expectant dad' while waiting for her daughter to arrive via surrogacy
Olivia Munn was left feeling like an 'expectant dad' while waiting for her daughter to arrive via surrogacy. The 44-year-old actress has son Malcolm, three, with her comedian husband John Mulaney, 42, andhe couple expanded their family through surrogacy following Olivia's breast cancer diagnosis in April 2023. Reflecting on the emotional journey of welcoming her now eight-month-old daughter Méi via surrogate, Olivia told People: 'It was the first time I was like, 'Oh wait, is this what it's like to be an expectant dad?'' After undergoing extensive treatment — including a lymph node dissection, nipple delay procedure, and double mastectomy — Olivia faced surgical menopause following the removal of her uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries during her cancer battle. 'It was important to do it at that moment, but it was also scary because my type of cancer feeds on hormones, and there are a lot of hormone injections with IVF,' she said, referring to the fertility preservation process she underwent before her hysterectomy. Her doctor devised a special IVF protocol tailored for cancer patients, enabling Olivia to retrieve seven eggs. 'At my age, about one in 10 eggs is healthy,' she explained. After fertilisation, two embryos were 'strong enough to be tested for abnormalities and the gender'. She and John hoped for a girl, with Olivia saying: 'I remember I was on a walk with John, and I said, 'I really don't think that I'll be okay unless we get two girl embryos. I know this puts me at risk, but I just need you to support me,'' she recalled. Mulaney responded: ''Whatever you need.'' That same day, Olivia received a call confirming both embryos were female. 'That was a sign for me everything was going to be okay,' she said. The couple then embarked on the 'emotional process' of finding a surrogate. 'The number one thing that I wanted in a surrogate was someone who was kind,' Olivia said. A friend's recommendation led them to an agency, which presented two potential surrogates. One candidate expressed a desire to help someone who had survived cancer. 'After meeting with her, I knew she was the right person to carry our daughter,' Olivia said. She added: 'The first thing I worried about was if I would be able to find somebody who would love and take care of my daughter as much as I would. 'We were so lucky to find someone so kind who we bonded with so much.'
