Olivia Munn won't let her children watch cartoons or YouTube sensation Ms Rachel

Olivia Munn won't let her children watch cartoons.

The Your Friends and Neighbors actress - who has Malcolm, three, and Mei, eight months, with husband John Mulaney doesn't find animated shows particularly "interesting" and she's not a fan of kids' YouTube favourite Ms. Rachel either.

She told People magazine: "I know kids love [Ms. Rachel], but the thing is, if I can't watch it, I'm not going to spend the rest of my life going crazy. These kid shows drive me crazy.

"Malcolm asked for Blue's Clues [recently], and I don't know who showed him Blue's Clues, but they are on my s*** list now.

"I said, 'Hell no. Not in my house.' John got him into the Spider-Man cartoons, which is not interesting to me.

"I put on Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Homecoming and was like, 'If you want to watch the real-life ones, then we can watch that.' It might be a little too old for him, but I can't take the cartoons."

However, Olivia, 44, made an exception for Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, which she thinks is "great" and she and John, 42, found it helpful for Malcolm to watch the PBS cartoon ahead of the birth of Mei so he could prepare for being a big brother.

She said: "Daniel Tiger has a little sister, and we'd tell him, 'There's a baby sister coming.'
