James Marsden and Olivia Munn go way back — they knew each other from high school in Oklahoma, where Munn was close friends with Marsden’s sister, Jenny. The story behind their “exclusive” is that they reconnected years later in Hollywood after growing up around the same circle.

Their shared history

They attended Putnam City North High School in Oklahoma City, though they were not there at the exact same time. Munn later recalled meeting Marsden when she was a teenager and even going out for ice cream with him and his sister.

Why it’s notable

Their connection makes their recent collaboration on Your Friends & Neighbors feel especially full-circle. Marsden has also said his sister was thrilled to see him working with Munn again, which adds to the hometown-friends angle of the story.
