Olivia Munn Says She Had No Idea Who Aaron Rodgers Was When They First Met

Despite having been together for less than a year, Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers have already weathered their share of unique circumstances.

First there was the hands-free Bluetooth kiss, followed by Packers fans wanting Munn drawn and quartered in front of the Childrenโ€™s Museum for "ruining" Rodgers and, of course, the unveiling of the coupleโ€™s game-day booty armistice.

This is to say, Rodgers and his actress girlfriend have shared a strange road for an as yet young coupleโ€”a road with beginnings that remained a mystery until Munnโ€™s Tuesday night appearance on Conan.

When asked about her first time meeting Rodgers, Munn claimed she had no idea who he was.

โ€œI had no idea,โ€ Munn said. โ€œWhen I met him, I said, โ€˜So what do you do?โ€™ And heโ€™s like, 'Oh, I play football.โ€™ And I go โ€˜Cool! What college?โ€™ And heโ€™s like โ€˜Oh, no. I play professionally.โ€™ And I go, โ€˜Cool. What position?โ€™ And heโ€™s like โ€˜Quarterback.โ€™โ€

Munn said all she knew about Rodgers was that he was a tall, attractive man.

โ€œThat was kind of it,โ€ Munn said. โ€œNot knowing that he was like, you know, a Super Bowl MVP or any of those things. All I saw was that he was like, really attractive. I didnโ€™t really care what he didโ€ฆI was like, โ€˜You are such a big man!โ€

Indeed, Rodgers is a (somewhat) big and famous man, but for any relationship to work, it canโ€™t be solely based on star power. It's about first impressions that lead to dates, and dates that lead to no-handed trust-fall kisses.

See? Love isnโ€™t about cash and fame, guys. Itโ€™s about interlacing your fingers, finding your soulโ€™s counterpart in another and leaning in for four seconds of closed-mouth heaven.

That's love.
