We already heard a little about Jennifer Garner's interview in the upcoming issue of the UK version of Marie Claire. She talked about being a mom and spoiling Violet. Now she opens up about the rough days when she was an understudy and that downfall of being dressed as a comic book hero. Here's more from the article:
- "Making $150 a week, living off spaghetti with a little bit of vegetable oil and salt - too broke for marinara sauce, olive oil or butter." She still remembers her worse day. "I had the flu and I didn't have any Kleenex. I wrote a cheque for tissues, cough pastilles and medicine, but it bounced. I had to call my dad. I was horrified. But if I'd just told my parents, 'I'm having a really hard time,' they would have helped' Self-reliance saw her through. "The life of an actress," she shrugs.
- Luckily, her work-set backs are a little easier these days:
"For Daredevil I literally had to be cut out of my costume to go to the bathroom and sewn back in, "she confides. "But you can't fight when you have to pee - if you gotta go, you gotta go!"
Haven't they heard of zippers? Still it sounds better than having to eat vegetable-oiled spaghetti for every meal. Lucky for Jen those days are far behind her! For the whole article just read more

4What the hell are cough pastilles??
5Is that some sort of cough drop?
Since it's for the UK version of Marie Claire, they probably edited cough drops to cough pastilles.
6I Like her She looks gorgeous.I don't like ben grrrrr.
7she has such a baby face:)
8She looks nice here and she seems very real. She's not into all the "fakeness" that Hollywood offers, and that is refreshing.
9She looks great indeed.
10Just seeing her and the kid all the time sometimes gets me bored.

I like rags to riches stories.
11thank God that you didn't find it necessary to post a photo of Violet..........
12there would have been 96 comments already with "oh, adorable!" "cutest baby ever....." "I love how she is with her...."
blech.
Sorry but living off of spaghetti, is not the life of an actress, that's just part of life. Hell, when I was in college, it was all about the 10cents noodles.
13I don't like the cover, but the rest are pretty!
14She has always inspired and amazed me. One of my best friends looks identical to her (but add 20 pounds) but still beautiful and natural. I wish we saw more pics of Violet as well or all three of them.
15I lived off Spaghetti,butter and mixed vegetables while I was in college. I bet Jennifer doesn't eat spaghetti anymore. I don't.
16wow luv her
17I love her top.
18Is she Hilary Swank's sister?
19No, not Hilary Swank's sister. But they do remind me alot of each other. Both are very down to earth and humble

21Im starting to like her more and finding it possible to get over her other relationships before Ben.
22She really looks beautiful in these pics.
23its called life in your early twenties. i lived off nothing but ramen, mac n cheese, and corn flakes for years...
24She really just bugs me. I don't even think she is that pretty. Hmmm?
25Mmm spaghetti!! LOL. Jen looks great, as always!
26I wonder how the real superheros do it
27She seems like such a sweetie! (and super talented!)
28Jen's beautiful and looks amazing especially in the smallest and largest pictures.
