Garner's Kids Cringe at "13 Going on 30"
1 Mar
Summary
- Jennifer Garner's children find her movie "13 Going on 30" awkward.
- Garner has not seen the film since its 2004 premiere.
- Kids prefer watching their dad's films over their mom's.
Jennifer Garner's beloved 2004 film, "13 Going on 30," has unintentionally led to awkwardness for her children. The actress shared on a podcast that her kids, Violet, Seraphina, and Samuel, have had a difficult time watching the movie, describing their experience as "tortured years." Garner herself has not revisited the film since its initial release.
Garner explained that her children's discomfort stems from an aversion to watching their parents in romantic or emotionally charged scenes. She noted that they generally prefer their father Ben Affleck's films. This preference highlights a common, yet often unspoken, challenge for children of actors navigating their parents' on-screen personas.
The rom-com, starring Garner as Jenna Rink and Mark Ruffalo, remains a fan favorite for its humor and memorable moments, including the "Thriller" dance scene. Despite its enduring popularity, the film's viewing has become a source of parental embarrassment for Garner's offspring.
