The Intense Way Olivia Munn Helped John Mulaney With His Drug Recovery After Going To Rehab: ‘Like Watching A Man In A Tsunami’

by

As a fan who has closely followed John Mulaney‘s career, I must say his journey is nothing short of inspiring. His ability to turn personal struggles into hilarious yet poignant comedy is truly remarkable. His openness about addiction, rehab, and recovery not only makes him relatable but also helps break the stigma surrounding these issues.

John Mulaney is greatly respected by both fans and fellow comedians, largely due to his willingness to incorporate personal aspects into his comedy. A few years back, this 42-year-old stand-up comic sought help for addiction issues, which he later humorously addressed on SNL and other platforms. He’s consistently been open about such matters, and more recently, his wife – actress Olivia Munn – has done the same. Notably, Munn shared details of her intense involvement in helping Mulaney overcome his addiction post-rehab.

In December 2020, the actor known for Mulaney sought help in a rehabilitation center, participating in a 60-day program. He completed his stay by February 2021. Around May 2021, he and Olivia Munn made their relationship official, coinciding with Mulaney’s divorce filing from his wife of six years, Annamarie Tendler. In a feature for GQ, Mulaney was the focus, and during this coverage, Munn shared that their relationship encounters were challenging as they began dating.

It was as if I were observing a man amidst a raging storm surge. I found myself watching someone who had recently given up alcohol, standing precariously on a cliff edge, and I wasn’t close enough to provide aid.

In “X-Men: Apocalypse,” the leading actress revealed that her partner had expressed concerns about a possible relapse in the future. Although the news of their upcoming son, Malcolm, brought optimism, there was still apprehension. Around six months into her pregnancy, she took the initiative to conduct mini-interventions and random drug tests for her partner. John Mulaney later shared his gratitude for their current relationship dynamics.

It’s like a relief. I like to be able to not even have that be a question in her or anyone else’s mind. Something about peeing in that cup is like, I’m walking this walk. It gives me confidence.

More on John Mulaney

In an homage to a well-known Brooke Shields photo shoot for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary, John Mulaney revisited the theme, and their playful banter wasn’t something I had anticipated on my bingo card.

In 2023, Netflix subscribers got a glimpse into the drug struggles of Bear’s guest star, as depicted in his highly praised comedy special titled “Baby J.” He was candid about his past experiences with cocaine, interventions, and more. There’s no denying that this special includes some truly memorable Mulaney humor. Currently, he appears to be flourishing professionally and seems content with his personal life, despite undergoing some significant changes.

Earlier this year, Olivia Munn and John Mulaney sparked marriage rumors and, by July 2024, the two exchanged vows in New York. By September, they also welcomed their second child (a daughter named Méi June Mulaney) via surrogate. Munn and Mulaney have reportedly continued to support each other, with the latter being by his wife’s side amid her breast cancer diagnosis. It’s lovely to see that these two are standing by each other’s sides amid health challenges and more, and one can only wish them the best.
