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
