Jennifer Garner used to be quite the daredevil!
The 42-year-old actress was an acting apprentice at the Barn Theatre School for Advanced Theatrical Training in Augusta, Michigan during her college years. Garner, who graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Denison University in Ohio in 1994, recently revealed that she and her colleagues at the theater often streaked.
She made her comments on Conan O'Brien's talk show Conan in an episode that aired on Tuesday, amid the recent releases of two new films, the comedies Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day and Men, Women and Children.
"I didn't drink, I was never a big party girl but I, um, I streaked," she said. "I just was in a naked frame of mind! I don't think I was the only streaker but I think I might have been the leader of the streakers and we just streaked, all summer."
While she has showcased revealing looks in Alias, the TV spy series that made her famous, and Elektra, a spinoff of the 2003 movie Daredevil, in which she reprised her role as the Marvel superhero alongside main star Ben Affleck, who would become her husband two years later, Garner has never appeared naked onscreen, although her hubby recently did in his newest movie, Gone Girl.
On Conan, Garner also talked about an unusual solution she found to solve a problem she and husband Ben Affleck had at their Los Angeles home.
A hill by their house has been invaded by rat-infested ivy, so while the actor was starting to work on his new film Batman v Superman, the actress enlisted the help of some hungry friends.
"I rented a herd of goats and I sent that picture to Ben on location," she said. "It was like his first day on the Batman set and I said, 'Honey, I'm taking care of the ivy!'"
"We had a party; we called it "The Running of the Goats" and they all showed up and we invited a bunch of kids and we herded them from the driveway to the ivy," she said. "They eat the ivy! Yes!"
Of course, then you're stuck with 120 goats hanging out near your house.
"Goats are loud," Garner said. "And at night, they're pretty docile, they're fairly quiet, but every now and then, there was one that would be right under my bedroom window and it would go, 'Mamaaa, mamaaa, mamaaaaaa!' and I would leap out of bed."
And then there's that other problem.
"Here's what the goat herder did not tell me," Garner said. "Ivy grows back."
