Zay Zay sat down with the former "Alias" star and THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN actress in Miami for a one-on-one with the mother of three. While speaking about her new movie THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN in which she plays the mother role to a miraculous child who appears on her front door, Zay Zay misspoke and said she's played many mom roles the last few years, which Garner corrected in that this was the first time she's ever really played on-screen mom. And in response to his question when will he get to see the "bad ass Jennifer Garner" once again, she offered to show him and his pink shirt what's she's got.
"As soon as they turn off these cameras, I'm going to kick your ass. You're going down."
After the hilarious interaction, Garner answered the question whether she'd consider playing an action heroine once again at the movies. Best known for her break out role as a spy on the JJ Abrams show "Alias," Garner went on to play more action heroines as Elektra in Daredevil (2003) where she met her future husband Ben Affleck, and a 2005 spin-off (Elektra). She got to flex her action muscles once again in Peter Berg's (Battleship) thriller in 2007's The Kingdom as a military agent. In between, the actress has varied her movies from romantic comedies (Ghosts of Girlfriends Past) to indies such as Juno.
Is the 40-year old actress open to playing more kick-butt female roles? She seemed down with that idea.
"As soon as something comes around, where there is action and it's really well-written, I will, you know, put on the pleather and I'll do whatever I have to do."
And we're sure thousands of fans can't wait to see her sporting pleather once again. In the meantime, Garner struts her acting chops in THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN, now playing in movie theaters.
