Olivia Munn covers Allure, claims: I would never let my man see me shave

Olivia Munn got the cover of the May issue of Allure for some reason. Even though I don’t think much of her as an actress or anything like that, I have to admit… I’m digging this Allure shoot. The cover is straight out of the glamazon ‘80s and early ‘90s. It reminds me of old Sassy covers. And I LOVE Olivia’s freckles. Anyway, Olivia has lots of ideas and thoughts about beauty, fame and her boyfriend Joel Kinnaman. Some highlights:

What she would never do in front of her boyfriend: “I would never let my man see me shave. I just don’t think that you ever look like you’re in a nice position.”

She makes fun of the models & actresses who pretend to love food: “‘Like, I’m going to have French toast because I always eat,'” she says, doing her best Valley girl impression. “‘I can eat whatever I want. I’m just lucky like that!'” She rolls her eyes. “I remember reading these articles when I was younger, and I just felt like, Well, in order to look like that, you have to have some secret, magical unicorn blood that makes carbs disappear as they go into your body. I prefer the truth,” says the actress, who had melon and green tea.

She always signs autographs: “I think it’s strange when people don’t sign autographs for people. Fans are just people who are helping you make your dreams come true.”

Dating Joel Kinnaman: “If there was ever going to be a girl who would want her man to bring home a RoboCop suit, it would be me. Joel is truly fantastic in it.”

Playing Sloan Sabbith in The Newsroom: “What I really love to do for a role is make the woman unapologetic for who she is. They wanted to put me in a turtleneck, and I said no. They’re like, ‘We want people to take her seriously,’ and I said, ‘People will take her seriously because of her brain. It’s not her problem what somebody sees when they look at her.'”

I’m not sure what I think of Olivia’s criticism of women who pretend they eat all the time – she would have a field day with Candice Swanepoel’s recent comments, wouldn’t she? I guess I like that Olivia is publicly honest about dieting and watching what she eats, and yes, I would prefer that honesty to some lie about how whatever model finds it SO difficult to put on weight.

As for not letting men see her shave… some men like it. I mean, some men like to see that. I hesitate to call it a fetish, but some dudes do like to watch women shave their legs (or other parts).
