6 interesting facts on The Adam Project actress Jennifer Garner

The Alias star is quite the chef, martial arts expert and so much more

Jennifer Garner brings a warm touch to almost every role she plays. She breathes life into her characters and makes them seem truly alive and believable. As she lights up the screen in her newest film The Adam Project we bring you to a few lesser known, yet interesting facts about the actress.

She didn’t always want to act

Growing up, the Texas-born actress didn’t always plan on taking to the big screen for a career. In fact, she actually envisioned becoming a teacher (just like her mum) or an author. However, fate had other plans in store, and we are only thankful she chose acting.

The CIA approached her for help to recruit agents

Jennifer’s tough act as agent Sydney Bristow in Alias seemed to have impressed the US Central Intelligence Agency. Why else would the CIA enlist her to help recruit spies? Jennifer recorded the recruitment video in the summer of 2003, while filming the third season of her action-thriller series Alias.

She loves doing her own stunts

Not many know that Jennifer is an expert in martial arts, and practices Taekwondo. Perhaps this knowledge equips her with the skills to do most of her stunts. Jennifer refused body doubles and performed stunts in projects like Alias Electra, and Daredevil, sustaining injuries in the process. While the injuries may have faded, her performances will always remain memorable.

Mum to three kids

Jennifer’s troubled marriage to Hollywood heartthrob Ben Affleck has been tabloid fodder for years now - what with the nanny cheating scandal? But at least something wonderful came out of the marriage. The former couple have three beautiful children together – two girls and a boy. Garner’s daughters' names are Seraphina Rose and Violet while their son has been named Samuel.

She has a YouTube Channel

If you follow Jennifer on Instagram, you probably know that she loves cooking? But did you know that she has an entire YouTube channel dedicated to her passion for cooking. Fans can find numerous videos of the actress on her YouTube channel Garnerish. Here the actress prepares all her favourite dishes and explains the steps involved in cooking them like an absolute master chef!

Accolades and awards

Garner’s immense dedication to her roles has seen her win many major awards over the course of her career. Most notably, she was awarded the Golden Globe for ‘Best Actress – Television Series Drama’ in 2002 for Alias. She also won the Screen Actors Guild Award for ‘Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series’ for Alias in 2005.

Dancing queen

Jennifer Garner is a woman of many talents and among these is her ability to move gracefully on her feet. Very few people are aware that Garner is actually a trained ballerina. The actress loves to keep in touch with her hobbies and occasionally takes to social media to share short clips of herself dancing.
