Most charming woman. Inside and outside. How special is it that her 12-year-old daughter was not really aware of all the fame but also chose the ordinary life over it. Makes you wonder how special and warm that 'normal' life must be :) Well done mum!

[@KatTheTruth]

Charlie Noah it was her 9 year old that wasn't aware. But I agree with you!

[@cbrownes]

Katie On The Daily Oo I actually initially wrote 9 but the description box mentions her 12 year old daughter so I figured I was wrong. Thanks for the heads up! And agree, just as special no matter the age! :)

[@2quick2c35]

super charming in front of the camera but a dick in real life .. I met her.

[@jazsyali1606]

Now THAT'S how you tell a story on a talk show. To the point, colorful, informative and yet entertaining. Show 'em how it's done Ms. Garner!!!

[@debadev2179]

Jazsy Ali I totally agree she’s a legend

[@iamshraddhakhedkar]

True!

[@josie1717]

I watched the entire segment of Garner. I don’t get star struck and I’m aware that most celebrities ‘turn it on’ for their own publicity, but this woman is genuinely funny, classy, and warm spirited, and she’s been this way for decades in the public eye. What a great storyteller too. I route for her. Such respect for how she carries herself.

[@Letsmarchishere]

Yes, I got the sense of it too. Matthew McConaughey said in one of his interviews that you can't just say hi, how are you to Jennifer Garner like lip service or something, you gotta stop and actually had a conversation cos it's Jennifer Garner, she's real and so caring etc.

[@jennyle8897]

takes her daughter to Sweden because of her school project .. 😂 goals

[@adrianabuz4450]

I thought I was the only one thinking about that. 😋

[@adrianabuz4450]

Love her anyway

[@BuzzLightyear620]

Some parents buy their kids a book about Sweden... Jen IS goals!

[@SuperMsalison]

a real strong mama!

[@46557200]

Money money money 🎶🎶🎶

[@ciaolallala96]

I love that there isn't a single negative comment about her! I love her!

[@alinesodre334]

I could listen to her for hours, what a pleasant, fun and adorable human being she is. She is beyond special.

[@leonilamontgomery9464]

Same here

[@usaresident8181]

I love that she is so down-to-earth and that she loves being a mom more than anything else. She also has a great way of telling her real-life stories. I was smiling the entire time she was telling about her and her daughter almost in the ocean kayak adventure. Her relationship with her daughter sounds like my relationship with my teenage daughter. We have so much fun together.

[@lolabrini3758]

She’s a literal personification of positivity and happiness

[@canadasweetie]

Jennifer Garner is always the same: happy, genuine, caring. I believe she is probably like that in private. I’d like to hope so. Such a beautiful person.

[@toeareg100]

She is so fun and full of life. And I love the dimple in her cheek, she has a beautiful smile. Unbelievable that Ben threw his marriage and his family away for alcoholism.

[@damaimartadisastra9988]

I keep smiling while listening to her story... very nice lady 😊

[@azimeyildirim7145]

Coolio

[@azimeyildirim7145]

I love Jimmy fallon

[@debbiewhitman2154]

She is so full of life and love. Loved the story!

[@Spencer0090]

she seems like a genuinely nice person!! been a fan since Alias one of the most beautiful actresses out there!!

[@stacybishop3484]

Omg does this woman have any flaws? She is life!! She deserves all things good

[@shay2218]

She is just so entertaining. Every time I see her in an interview I just like her more and more. Beautiful and hilarious. Ben is is insane to let her go.

[@fil-can4868]

Jennifer Garner is amazing as a human being and just as an actress.

[@carolbenson6524]

Jennifer is one of the nicest actresses .... not in with the Hollywood group.

[@101jungi]

Who else thinks Ben took the biggest L?

[@Kelly-bw7sb]

L?

[@BlackGirlMarvel]

@@Kelly-bw7sb L means lost. He took the biggest lost in losing her

[@thirdeye8]

hear! hear!

[@sridharan136900]

Jimmy Fallon & Jennifer Garner both are beautiful inside and outside. And they are great storytellers too. Love them both 💙

[@kari2704]

She’s so great! She seems like a great person to be around.

[@bluesky6028]

It's hilarious how she related it. Great story teller. Beautiful human being. I love her !

[@silve050]

Did Jimmy just laugh genuinely for the first time?

[@georginab1126]

silve050 NO

[@bigtone1740]

silve050 when?

[@thirdeye8]

He's really annoying. You can see the pretense in his gestures. What's worse is that he wants to be the center of the attention all the time.

[@frizzzx86]

nah

[@frankiee7205]

I love how healthy she looks !! like screw Ben Shes literally glowing !! And Peppermint was an amazing film and her body was right omg!!

[@candacetrimmins2589]

[@nicoledavis7101]

You know what's crazy? The man who saved them matias, his name is a spanish name meaning "gift from God" pretty cool. Love Jen she is so sweet and amazing

[@johanna2690]

It's a biblical name. My brothers name is Matthias. And we are german. So I think most christian countries have a version of it

[@MLSoll]

She is so sweet!!! Love her. Ben let go of this amazing woman and for that he takes the biggest L

[@mircat28]

M.L. Soll what does L mean? Write words not code.

[@faraho82]

I love her so much such a great personality ❤❤

[@soojeongpark9309]

The kayak story and how she tells it really crack me up and I keep coming back to this video every time I need a good laugh :)

[@Jackert86]

She's all that and more. One of the most amazing, shining, glowing,positive, wonderful people on this planet 😍🙏

[@cookiesncream789]

I love that she keeps her work life and her family life separate! And I love that she still cares for Ben Affleck. She’s amazing!

[@valamewa]

She is an excellent story teller!

I love the Peppermint trailers! You go, girl! Edit: I know it's highly unlikely that either one of them will read this, I don't need a reminder!

[@AngelusHale]

Such a ray of sunshine.

[@laffietaffie]

she's so adorable, i wish i was one of her kids!!

[@christinel2569]

You'd have ben Affleck as the father, and that's not nice at all.

[@qaqambamdliva3750]

The Queen Jennifer Garner

[@yarolamusic]

Love her!!

[@bringiton5282]

Jennifer Garner in Sweden ! ❤

[@melissajohn4594]

Yes she is really a good woman and devoted mother. She would never leave her children for month to make film. She always prioritized her childten and put her love life behind.

[@GladysMadrid-hb3vi]

Garner eres tremenda mujer hablando deberías tener un programa de entretenimiento cómo reímos al oírte entretienes eres muy jocosa 😂😂😂 valerosa mujer ❤madre genial, Garner!!!!!!!!!!! mama mia!!! 5:37😂😂😂😅😅❤

[@ethelplazo]

Shes sooo natural fave ever

[@catiarodriguez4917]

She is an Amazing women inside & out....

[@chanjessiet]

She is such a delight, down to earth, balanced person who managed Hollywood and personal life. What a lost to Ben Affleck

[@monmothma3358]

Idk, Ben is a newlywed. I'm guessing he's happy. The fact that a person is wonderful (and Jennifer Garner is) does not mean they're compatible with you. She was wrong for him; hopefully he's now back with the right one.

[@bellaventimiglia35]

LUV JENNIFER!!! One of the few most genuine, down-to-earth celebs in Hollywood! As much as I dislike her NO-TALENT ex, I luv how they put their kids first and co-parent together!

[@GladysMadrid-hb3vi]

Garner encantadora cómo entretiene y nos anima oírla espectacular su pronunciación excita la cacilidad humana para las entrevistas, genial querida Garner🎉🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤

[@JIEON.C]

That “I know!” Reminded me Monica form friends so much haha

[@aprildrummond8457]

Lol me and my son and my boyfriend went on our first ever "date" together on a kayak trip..5 hours, I forgot my keys, which was gonna be at the end point, sooo my boyfriend had to go ahead of us to meet his friend to pick us up..the dang river had 7 dry points where we had to walk.. a couple being a quarter mile long it felt like, where we had to walk and drag our kayaks across, by the time we got to the end. My brave little 8 yr old said ,,"I am never going kayaking again", God love him
