Olivia Munn has found comfort from Catherine, Princess of Wales amid her cancer battle.<\/p>\n
\n The 45-year-old actor was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023 and revealed how the 44-year-old British royal \u2013 who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of the disease in 2024 before announcing that she was in
\n remission the following year \u2013 struck a chord with her about adjusting to life after treatment.\n <\/p>\n
Munn, who is in recovery from the disease, told People: \u201cKate Middleton had talked about this recently, and she said it so succinctly [and] it really touched me and gave me a sense of peace, because I finally had words behind it.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe was like, \u2018You think that the big things are the things you have to worry about\u2019 \u2013 I\u2019m paraphrasing her \u2013 \u2018But it\u2019s the treatment after you\u2019ve gone through the big things that\u2019s really taxing and hard on you.\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Oh, somebody else is feeling that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The Your Friends and Neighbors star added: \u201cThat\u2019s where it feels really good … when you hear other people\u2019s experiences, because it is true \u2013 you feel so much better when you know you\u2019re not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bang Showbiz 12 Apr, 2026 08:04 PM2 mins to read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[6876,534,5837,2534,13500,76879,156,11424,1874,71,1364,26159,111,139,69,1118,15363,28821,1491],"class_list":{"0":"post-376449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-actress","9":"tag-amid","10":"tag-battle","11":"tag-cancer","12":"tag-catherine","13":"tag-comfort","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-finds","16":"tag-found","17":"tag-from","18":"tag-her","19":"tag-munn","20":"tag-new-zealand","21":"tag-newzealand","22":"tag-nz","23":"tag-of","24":"tag-olivia","25":"tag-princess","26":"tag-wales"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
