John Mulaney Opens Up About The Unexpected Way Olivia Munn Helps Him Stay Sober
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING Comedian John Mulaney is sharing new insight into his experiences with drug addiction and the way his wife, Olivia Munn, has lent her support as he continues in recovery. The former writer and host on “Saturday Night Live” was selected by GQ as the magazine’s 2024 Man of the Year ― and, in the accompanying interview, opened up about his old drug habits, which he viewed as his attempts at “self-medication.” “There was a time when I would have told you that I could not fly, sleep, or perform unless I had a Klonopin,” he explained. I would have said, ‘It sucks, because I don’t always want to take Klonopin and Xanax, but I have to.’ ” Mulaney began a relationship with Munn in 2021, shortly after he completed a 60-day stint in rehab for cocaine and alcohol abuse. When Munn became pregnant with the couple’s first child, son Malcolm, she began giving Mulaney random drug tests.
