Lisa Olivia Munn was born on July 3, 1980 (age 41 years) in Oklahoma City, United States. She is the daughter of Kimberly Nguyen and Winston Munn. Her father is of German, Irish, and English ancestry. Her mother, who is of Chinese ancestry, arrived as a Vietnamese refugee in the United States in 1975, following the Vietnam War, and settled in Oklahoma where she met Munn’s father.

Munn has a younger brother, John, a physicist; an older brother, James, a custom motorcycle shop owner; and two older sisters, Annie and Sara, the latter of whom is a lawyer. When Munn was two years old, her parents divorced and her mother married a member of the United States Air Force. The family relocated to Utah, where they resided until 1986. Munn’s stepfather was then transferred to Yokota Air Base near Tachikawa in Tokyo, Japan, where she spent her formative years.

She claims to have been fluent in Japanese as a child. She has said that her stepfather was “verbally abusive” and demeaning. “When he would be screaming his head off in the living room, I would hustle everybody into my room and launch into imitations of teachers or do scenes from movies,” she recalled. “And that would take their minds off of the hell that was happening down the hall.” When Munn was 16, her mother divorced her stepfather and moved with the children back to Oklahoma City. Munn attended Putnam City North High School for her junior and senior years, then attended the University of Oklahoma, where she earned a B.A. in journalism with a minor in Japanese and dramatic arts.
