Olivia Munn Says Bryan Singer Disappeared from X-Men: Apocalypse Set for 10 Days
, I never shot a huge movie like that before. I didn’t know what was right or wrong, but I did know that it seems strange that Bryan Singer could check out and say he had a thyroid issue," Munn, 39, said.
"He was gone for about 10 days is my recollection. And he said, 'Continue. Keep filming.' And he texted to the actors, 'Hey guys. I’m busy right now. But just go ahead and start filming without me.' And we’d be like, 'OK.' And I never thought any of it was normal, but I didn’t realize that other people also thought it wasn’t normal," she added., "He saw doctors in Montreal and then came back to see doctors in Los Angeles.
In a statement at the time, Singer said he requested time off to be with his family during a “pressing health matter,” but Fox wouldn’t accommodate, he claimed, and subsequently let him go. Singer's repeated absence from the set caused the movie to be delayed; the studio eventually went on to hire Dexter Fletcher as Singer's replacement.Munn made her claim about Singer to make a point about the behavior she says she tolerated in Hollywood before the #MeToo and Time's Up movements.
"I’m saying even before the #MeToo stuff was exposed — stuff that’s really horrendous and just nauseating to be around — there’s also just the bad behavior of people getting away with it. And no one in the world is so talented that it merits disrespecting other people and their time. And there are so many talented people waiting for an opportunity," Munn said.
