Jennifer Garner Covers InStyle May 2009

Jennifer Garner Covers InStyle May 2009

Jennifer Garner looks girl next door gorgeous on the May 2009 cover of InStyle. The 36-year-old actress gives a candid interview to the mag and pokes fun at husband Ben Affleck quite a bit. Check out all the funny things she had to say:

On keeping it real: “I never go nuts with my look. It’s easy to feel like you’ve gone into caricature territory when you do. I’ve found that if you feel like a good, you’re going to look like one.”

On what she’s learned from her mom: “She taught me to proof my yeast with a little bit of sugar–which she learned from her mom, Violet (the name of Jen’s oldest daughter). And she also taught me how to stretch a roasted chicken to make three meals. Though Ben could eat an entire chicken in one sitting.”

On practice making perfect: “These days I wear less makeup than earlier in my career, but I know a lot more about it now.”

On why Violet’s hair looks a little messy sometimes: “Ben will do the school run. He dresses her and does her hair. It’s pretty funny. (makes playful glance) You can always tell when he has been at it, just two random barrettes hanging in there. It’s so sweet.”

Blame it on Ben. Right.
She is too ugly to be a film actress, too tall and big, and too much work on her face (nose and lips).

Jennifer Garner is an All-American beauty and Ben could not have asked for a more elegant, natural, intelligent, talented woman. She is a wonderful mother and I always enjoy seeing Mrs. Affleck taking care of her beautiful daughters.

The Right jen @ 04/17/2009 at 12:27 pm

Plus, she still has a career!

awww cuuuuuuuuuttttttttteeeee :)

She’s 37 not 36. Her birthday is today :D

This can be the perfect reason to end your subscription, folks!!

Surely they could have made her look better than that? She looks so plain Jane!

to poster no. 6: You must be pretty and smart. Yeah, for sure! Just keep being hidden behind your computer and get more and more frustrated. Jennifer Garner is beautiful and down to earth. You can just dream to be like her. Get a life, viper.

Yes, yes, Yes!! @ 04/17/2009 at 3:14 pm

#6, Yes, is actually talking about Jennifer Lopez. He He!

Finally a cover shot that doesnt look over photoshopped. She looks like a natural beauty not fake. I wish her the best and congrats to her and Ben on thier beautiful and healthy new daughter.

They’re so freakin cute!!!

Jen you are beautiful!!! WOW !!!!!

FINALLY jen makes the cover @ 04/17/2009 at 5:51 pm

Yes Yes Yes (panting) no it is not about the dicklicker named Jlo..
It has nothing to do with this… Jen is none of those things # 6..
Pig head ho..Sure she looks great in these photos. Usually it is
a long photo a full shot on just a head shot… Yes but Ben has
not taken Vi to school lately for a month since he is in Boston
filming a movie and promoting his State of Play so the only
person to blame is Jen for her daughters messy hair.. and
she did say that she is up half the night with her younger daughter
Sera..
Now I have to see how Jlo gets into the first paragraph of the article
or we would be seeing the Instyle article.. Of course dicklicker Jlo
has to show up as usual in J. Garner’s publicity..

Oh give her a break. The interview happened over 2 months ago, or are you really that stupid?

Jen is great, an excellent mother, they are both hands on parents. Jen is the best thing that ever happened to Ben. And I am a Ben fan.

the only reason i like her is cuz she seems 2 be a nice person and a caring mother unlike some hollywood moms
she may not be the prettiest girl but i respect her
she actually looks pretty good on the cover
