Jennifer Garner gets ‘down and dirty’ for fight scenes in new flick
Washington, Aug 31 (ANI): Actress Jennifer Garner has admitted that shooting fight scenes in her recent film ‘The Kingdom’ wasn’t an easy task after all.
In the film directed by Peter Berg, Garner plays a government agent sent to the Middle East to probe into bombings.
“It was so down and dirty that [I] had scratch marks that we had to cover up on my face for the next few days,” People magazine quoted Garner, as saying.
“Pete Berg was a guest star on Alias the first season. He and I had a fight. His idea of doing the fight was to improvise. I am a girl. I don’t really want to be punched. … He started trying to actually hit me, so I shouldn’t have been surprised [about his approach on The Kingdom]. They yanked me out of that fight [on Alias] so fast.”
Garner had to scuffle with one of the baddies and she bit his ear, when he tried to grab her
“It was where he just tried to grab me and pull my face off. He had a scab on his ear because I bit his ear, and I just went ‘Erg!’ and yanked. I actually got his ear. Oh, it was nasty. It was great!”
The mum of one was quite particular that her sparring partner stays away from her boob, as she was breast-feeding her newborn daughter.
“He had to stay away from my boobs. Because I was breastfeeding (daughter Violet). And he did. That was the one sacred thing. He could go for my head, pull my hair, just not the boobs,’ she said. (ANI)
