Jennifer Garner Reflects on the 'Crazy' Skills She Learned for Roles

She capped the post with a Thanksgiving shift at The Midnight Mission in Los Angeles.

Overview

  • On Nov. 27, the actor shared an Instagram carousel recounting unusual skills she learned for roles, shortly after Reese Witherspoon posted a similar roundup.
  • Highlights included fight training shown via a 2002 Alias scene with Quentin Tarantino and weapons work focused on sais linked to Daredevil (2003), Elektra (2005) and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024).
  • She also cited learning “spy languages,” taking equestrian lessons, turning wood, carving butter and doing wire work, closing with a 1998 Fantasy Island clip captioned “was a dolphin.”
  • Garner framed the look back as gratitude for patient teachers and for a job that lets her learn “bits of so many things.”
  • On Thanksgiving morning, she volunteered at The Midnight Mission’s holiday lunch on Skid Row in Los Angeles, serving mashed potatoes and encouraging followers to support local food programs.
