Psylocke<\/strong> actress Olivia Mun<\/strong> threw major shade at X-MEN: APOCALYPSE<\/a><\/strong> director Bryan Singer<\/strong>, revealing to Variety<\/strong><\/a> that he was absent from the Montreal set for long periods of time. She pointed a specific situation when Singer walked off set and flew to Los Angeles “for approximately 10 days” to deal with an alleged <\/em>thyroid issue, which left production crew scrambling to get things completed without their director on set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe saw doctors in Montreal and then came back to see doctors in Los Angeles. And to the best of our recollection, it only affected two days of shooting,” claims his publicist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not so, says Munn. “When we shot X-Men<\/em>, I never shot a huge movie like that before. I didn\u2019t know what was right or wrong, but I did know that it seems strange that Bryan Singer could check out and say he had a thyroid issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of going to a doctor in Montreal, which is a very high-level, working city, he said he had to go to L.A. And he was gone for about 10 days is my recollection. And he said, \u201cContinue. Keep filming.\u201d We\u2019d be on set, I remember there\u2019s a big scene that we\u2019d have, and we\u2019d come back from lunch and then one of Bryan\u2019s assistants would come up and show us a cell phone with a text message on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And he texted to the actors, \u201cHey guys. I\u2019m busy right now. But just go ahead and start filming without me.\u201d And we\u2019d be like, \u201cOK.\u201d And I never thought any of it was normal, but I didn\u2019t realize that other people also thought it wasn\u2019t normal. And the other people who thought it wasn\u2019t normal would be people at high levels, people who make decisions on whether to hire this person.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
