Olivia Munn Outsmarts Mammograms with Risk Quiz; Cancer Haters Beware

Olivia Munn, the 45-year-old ever-so-proactive star, aced every fancy test mammograms, ultrasounds, and genetic mutation checks—only to be blindsided by a quick two-minute Lifetime Risk Assessment courtesy of Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi in Beverly Hills, who asked, 'Do you even risk score, bro?' The 37% cancer risk score shocked an MRI radiologist so much she questioned why Munn was getting grilled like she was old and crusty. Diagnosed at 43 with stage 1 breast cancer, Munn took no chances, opting for a double mastectomy—because if cancer's gonna sneak around, better catch it while it’s just mocking you from the yard. Bonus relatability: Mom Kim Munn got her own stage 1 diagnosis, proving cancer runs in families like bad Thanksgiving arguments. The American College of Radiology says this test is now for the young at 25+, even if annual screening begins at 45, because apparently 20% risk means your boob inquisitions should start sassy and early. Dr. Aliabadi and Olivia both insist knowing your score is as necessary as knowing your blood pressure or Wi-Fi password. Some lessons you never see coming—like cancer dressing up as 'too busy.'
