Olivia Munn is pulling back the curtain on what really went down behind the scenes of her upcoming series Your Friends & Neighbors — and it involves some unexpectedly spicy moments with costar Jon Hamm.
The 44-year-old actress attended the premiere of the Apple TV+ drama on April 8 in New York City, dazzling in a silver Roland Mouret gown. But it wasn’t just her look that got people talking — it was what she revealed about filming those scenes with Hamm, 54.
🎬 Steamy Chemistry On-Screen
In Your Friends & Neighbors, Munn plays Sam, a woman caught in a secret affair with Andrew “Coop” Cooper (Hamm), a disgraced former hedge fund manager fresh off a divorce. The relationship between their characters is mostly physical — a point Munn says made the intimate scenes particularly meaningful.
“My character wants something more from Jon’s character,” Munn told PEOPLE, “but the only thing she’s getting from him at this point is this sexual relationship… so it’s really important that we really feel how much she’s leaning on this and trying to connect.”

🗣️ The Bite Heard Around the Bedroom
One specific moment stood out: Munn revealed that in one of their scenes, she was instructed to bite Hamm — and he didn’t want her to hold back.
“I was nervous but he just kept saying, ‘It’s okay. Bite really hard,’” she said. “And then I did. And he’s a pretty tough guy.”
She repeated with a grin, “He’s a very tough guy.”
🎭 Intimacy Coordinators and Realism
Munn also opened up about how much work goes into making these kinds of scenes feel authentic. From choreography to communication, she says filming a sex scene is more like a fight sequence than fans might realize.
“There’s a lot of choreography, a lot of discussion… intimacy coordinators are like stunt coordinators or fight coordinators,” she explained. “They try to make the scene look believable and realistic.”
🕵️♂️ What’s the Show About?
According to the official synopsis, Your Friends & Neighbors follows Coop as he rebuilds his life after being “fired in disgrace.” He turns to stealing from his ultra-rich neighbors in Westmont Village — only to discover that the secrets hiding behind their polished lives may be darker than he ever imagined.
With a blend of mystery, dark humor, and steamy drama, the show is already stirring buzz — and has already been renewed for a second season before its premiere.
