Olivia Munn is done hiding.

The Newsroom actor and breast cancer survivor opened up about embracing her body, scars and all, in her new modeling campaign during an interview with Today on Wednesday .

When she first signed on to work with the shapewear company Skims, the Kim Kardashian -owned brand had no plans to highlight Munns mastectomy scars.

It was just to do their shapewear and their new leggings, and it wasnt about my scar at all, explained the mother of two, who has undergone multiple surgeries since being diagnosed with luminal B breast cancer in April 2023.

During the shoot, Munn and the makeup artist on set realized it would be really hard to mask the scars, prompting the actor to pitch a different approach.

I was looking in the mirror, and I just thought, Im done being insecure about my scars, Munn told host Savannah Guthrie. So I went to the team of Skims and I said, What do you guys think about showing my scars in this campaign? And they were so amazing and thoughtful and wonderful. And we talked it out and we decided to do it.

Along with the campaign, Skims is donating a portion of bra sales revenue to the Susan G. Komen organization.
