Olivia Munn praises ‘smart’ Jennifer Aniston

Olivia Munn has praised Jennifer Aniston is "strong and smart".

The 36-year-old actress stars alongside the former ‘Friends’ star in festive comedy movie ‘Office Christmas Party’, and has nothing but kind words to say about the 47-year-old beauty after working with her.

Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’ at the New York City premiere of the film on Monday (12.05.16), Olivia said of Jennifer: "I’ve been able to meet a lot of people in this business … and it’s so fascinating how many people are not what you think they would be and Jennifer Aniston is everything that you would ever hope that she would be. She is, no pun intended, the friend you would want her to be. She’s strong and she’s smart, and she is a real champion for the other [actors] in the movie too. Some people only look at their role and she’s really down to help and figure out everybody’s role."

And the feeling is most definitely mutual between the pair, as Jennifer reciprocated the kind words when asked what she thought of Olivia.

She said: "She’s just a girl’s girl. It’s nice to be around women that support women. I think it’s great and it’s important and it’s a good thing."

Meanwhile, Olivia recently claimed that the movie – which follows the antics and poor decisions made by a group of white collar workers on a booze-fuelled Christmas party – was nothing like her parties in real like, as she cuts herself off after "two drinks".

She said: "People are giving themselves the excuse to hook up with the other co-workers, wear the most flashy outfits they have and to drink and debauchery is rampant.

"This movie is every office Christmas party times 100.

"I cut myself off usually around two drinks, just because it’s actually more fun to remember what you did than to get blackout drunk.

"Although in this movie, I don’t think any of the characters remember anything from the next day. This is a blackout drunk movie!"
