Hilarious and hella real, the tech-savvy siren is accessible like no other. That’s why fanboy nation can’t get enough.

So fan germs touched your body later when you showered?
Olivia Munn: I’m sure some of their germs were in my mouth. When I was in the shower, I just thought about all of them and their dirty, nasty germs all over me. I mixed their germs and saliva with lye and created a bar of soap. That’s what I bathe with now.
You’ve said that being stalked would confirm your celebrity. What would be your ideal stalking?
Olivia Munn: I’d like to be stalked by Shia LaBeouf. I’d like him to one day become obsessed with me, be outside my door every day, and I’m like, “Shia, dear God, go shoot Indiana Jones!” And he’s like, “No, I love you. Transformers 2 is coming out, and I need you to be in it because I can’t work another day without seeing your face.” And I’m like, “Oh, Shia, I just can’t.”
Have you learned a lot hosting G4’s sex advice segment “In Your Pants”?
Olivia Munn: Still a virgin.
A virgin?!
Olivia Munn: Oh, just in my ass. The other way, I’ve slept around a lot.
Are you sexually adventurous?
Olivia Munn: I can’t bring in another girl. I can’t have sex with people that I’m not emotionally attached to. And the thought of going down on a girl grosses me out. But if a guy says, like, “I want to stick this carrot in your ass,” I would be like, “Well…if that really turns you on….”
So you’re not the anal virgin you make yourself out to be!
Olivia Munn: [
Laughs.] I’m saying if somebody wants to put a carrot in my ass! Nobody has put a carrot in my ass.
Complex might.
Olivia Munn: We would have to develop a relationship and feelings!
This is our second interview with you!
Olivia Munn: OK, what the hell. Just make sure it’s one of those baby carrots.
You might lose that up there. That wouldn’t be good.
Olivia Munn: OK, you could use a big one. Just use the bigger end—the pointy end might hurt.
[Awkward pause.] I love awkward pauses. [
Laughs.] I’m a whore for a laugh.
And for emotional attachment. So you were never one for making out with strangers at bars?
Olivia Munn: That’d gross me out. A group of girlfriends once had an intervention for me—this is 100 percent true. They’d always have one-night stands, but I didn’t even want to randomly make out with guys. They sat me down and said, “You know, Olivia, we just want you to know it’s OK to be a whore-dog.” I swear to God, they said “whore-dog.” I’m like, “But I don’t want to.” And they’re like, “But maybe you should.”
Great friends. What would it take for you to leave G4?
Olivia Munn: If they were to say, “You can’t act.” Then I’d say, “Well, I’m sorry, I have to leave.” I’m the person who’s adamant that this is not a stepping stone for me. My role might change [as I act more] and I might not be there as much, but either way I want to stay there. I love seeing the network grow and being one of the reasons it’s growing. I love the fans.
What’s the weirdest gig you’ve been offered?
Olivia Munn: American Gladiators wanted me to be their host, but I didn’t want to do that. I mean, I used to love American Gladiators, but I don’t want to be the host of American Gladiators.
You’ve said you wouldn’t do theatrical nudity without a real reason. What’s your policy on making sex tapes for personal use?
Olivia Munn: I’m not a big porno person, but I’ve seen a few here and there, and that shit does not look good. Like, I don’t want to see what my anus looks like. I really don’t. If I ever did a sex tape and it got out, I would be suicidal. I want to be in control of how people perceive me. I don’t want to be known for a sex tape or being on the cover of US Weekly; I want to be known for who I am, my hosting, my acting. I don’t walk the red carpet with my boyfriend because I don’t want to invite all that.
Plus, that leaves a glimmer of hope for amorous fans.
Olivia Munn: Well, I’m not married, and I cheat on my boyfriend regularly, so there’s hope for everybody!
Looks aside, guys love you for being into or knowledgeable about a lot of “guy things.” Is there anything guys love that you don’t?
Olivia Munn: Um, eating vagina. And I don’t like watching baseball on TV. I love going to the games and
eating, but it’s the most boring sport on TV.
If you didn’t mention vagina, we were going to run wild with that.
Olivia Munn: [
Laughs.]
