'I hated my curves': Olivia Munn reveals she struggled to accept her womanly figure



Comfortable in her own skin: Olivia Munn, pictured today at the Carolina Herrera fashion show in New York today, used to hide her figure under baggy T-shirts

Actress Olivia Munn has revealed how she hated her curvy figure and tried to hide it under baggy shirts.

The 31-year-old star, who showed off her form at New York Fashion Week today, was so embarrassed by her figure she refused to wear a bra so she would look younger.



Munn, who appears opposite Sarah Jessica Parker in the comedy I Don't Know How She Does It, is now rated as one sexiest stars on TV and film.



But she said she wasn't always comfortable with her figure.



'I hated becoming a woman for a long time, so I didn't wear a bra for a long time,' she told the New York Post.



'I would wear these long T-shirts, because I wanted to look like a kid. Around fifth of sixth grade my mother dragged me to Bloomingdale's and said "You're putting on a bra and throwing away all your oversized T-shirts".



Since blossoming as a woman Munn, who is of Chinese descent, hasn't looked back having stared her career as a touchline reporter on a sports TV show.



She shot to fame co-hosting Attack of the Show and went on to appear in Date Night and Iron Man 2.



Munn, who has starred in racy shoots for Esquire magazine among others, stirred up controversy when she was appointed as a correspondent on Jon Stewart's The Daily Show with one female blog writer saying she only got the job because she was a sex symbol.



The 32 females who work on the Comedy Central show hit back at the claims and Munn also said:' It's ridiculous to say that a woman can't be funny and also be sexy.'
