Olivia Munn is getting candid about her experience working with a difficult male co-star on a past project.

During a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, the actress recalled an unnamed actor refusing to film a scene in which her female character saved his.

There have been a few times where Ive been filming something and my character was either like CIA, or a cop, or somethingand theres been scenes where my character has been the one to save the other character, Munn explained. In this specific instance, the Your Friends Neighbors star said they were filming a gunfight scene in an underground bunker.

If you read the script, it was that he was guarding his side, I was guarding my side, then we switch sides and then theres a guy that was coming for him was gonna shoot him in the back so I shoot him, Munn recounted. And then were about to shoot and, somehow, I guess he didnt read the script and in that moment, he realized, Wait, wait, wait. Hold on. She cant save me. No, no. She cant save me.

Thats when her co-star paused production and even got combative with the director over the scene. When reflecting on the incident and his behavior, she added, There was no insecurity about being obnoxious and everyone hearing this and being like, She cant save me! Were not doing this.

After nearly an hour of back and forth, the X-Men: Apocalypse actress decided to interject with an idea.

Finally, after like 45 minutes of just stopping down, I said, OK, how about instead of my character saving you, its just that we switch because its time for us to switch and so this is my guy to get, she said. And he was like, OK.

However, Munn admitted to host Drew Barrymores audience, drawing laughter and cheers from them, Now heres the interesting thing: nothing changed. Its just what he thought. I was doing the exact same thing.

The actress has previously opened up about other negative experiences shes had with men in Hollywood. Last year, Munn recalled a visitingNewsroomdirector giving her bad notes, which she didnt take, and she later found out that he bad-mouthed her to keep her from getting another job. She still booked the role.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Munn opened up about what shes learned from that experience and trying to stand up for herself in the industry.

Its playing the game a bit more, she said. And I should be able to speak up for myself and I should be able to draw the line, but we cannot. I cant change the world and I cannot change how women have been portrayed and received for however long weve been on earth. So Ive realized that Im going to handle this situation in a way that is going to be the best outcome for me.

Munn added, I used to see so many other actors do it, and Id think, Why are you not taking the note? I cant believe youre being so indignant. Then I realized its a way to protect your art and your choices with a character.I hope I have helped more actresses learn this.
