'Mortdecai' Star Olivia Munn Gushes Over Working with Johnny Depp & Other A-List Stars on New Movie

It looks like a dream come true for 34-year-old actress Olivia Munn. The star recently gushed about the opportunity to work alongside the likes of Johnny Depp, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Goldblum and Gwyneth Paltrow in the upcoming comedy Mortdecai.

Munn will be taking on the role of Georgina Krampf, who is a seductive woman in high-society with a taste for men with mustaches. "I just know how lucky I am to have gotten the opportunity. It felt like getting the coolest dinner party invite," Contact Music quotes the actress from her interview with the New York Daily News.

"All these people have known each other for so long. These people are all very famous and have been famous for a long time," she continued. "You see them in pictures, but it's different when it's right in front of you. They welcomed me in right away and I felt very close with everybody immediately," the actress further adds as quoted by Joblo.

Despite that, the Newsroom alum found herself facing a lot of challenges while filming Mortdecai ranging from looking professional while riding a horse, "I had to train to ride a horse for two months in London. It's a very short scene, but I had to look like a professional and I actually had to ride the horse myself and race it up full gallop" to containing her laughter when Depp suddenly cracks a joke, "He would just switch it up every time and it was just so hard for me not to break down laughing," New York Daily News quotes the actress.

The film Mortdecai will be all about a rich English art dealer who travels the world in the search of a painting that is rumored to hold the code to a bank full of Nazi gold.
