CHANGED MAN

John Mulaney Says Olivia Munn Randomly Drug-Tests Him

The comedian said in a new interview that he is embracing being a family man after struggling with addiction for years.

Comedian and Saturday Night Live alum John Mulaney said he is a changed man after struggling with alcohol and cocaine addictions for years. In a new GQ interview, Mulaney credits many positive changes in his life to starting a family with actress Olivia Munn. The two now share two children together. However, Munn shared that she barely knew the comedian when she got pregnant. “It wasn’t anything close to ‘dating,’” she said about their arrangement. But she decided to take an active role in his recovery anyway. “I was watching someone newly sober, at the edge of a cliff, and I didn’t know him well enough to help him,” she added. When Munn was 6 months pregnant, she asked Mulaney to be randomly drug-tested, something he still does today. “[She] got to date me out of recovery, which is what they call a reverse-catch,” said Mulaney about Munn in a 2021 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. He added, “It is a very, very lucky thing to have met this woman.”
