    Jennifer Garner channelled her dance background in The Last Thing He Told Me

    The 53-year-old actress plays Hannah Hall in the mystery thriller series, and Jennifer feels that her dance background actually helped her to film some action scenes.


    The Hollywood star - who had experience with ballet before she switched her focus towards acting - told Extra: "You take that physicality and you take ... everything that you put into dance. It's like combined with a scene and the stakes of the scene are so high that you have to use your whole body to accomplish the scene, and that's what I love about doing a fight scene."

    Despite this, Jennifer admitted that the physical nature of her role took its toll on her.

    The actress said: "Yeah, you're bruised up, but in a good way."

    Meanwhile, Jennifer previously revealed that she got stuck in an elevator for more than an hour at San Diego Comic-Con in 2024.

    The actress confessed via social media that she spent more than an hour waiting to be rescued during the event.

    Jennifer explained on Instagram: "Hey, guys, we're stuck on this elevator [and] I could use a Wolverine; I could use a Deadpool. I could use someone [and] we're looking for stairs. OK, thanks for having us here. My first Comic Con!"

    Jennifer attended the event for the first time after she starred in the superhero movie Deadpool and Wolverine.

    And in one of her Instagram updates, Jennifer joked about her own misfortune as she waited to be rescued.

    The actress - who was previously married to fellow film star Ben Affleck - said: "I'm schvitzy [and] I need to blot. 'Don't cut the blue wire' is what we're hearing.

    "I think I heard on an episode of The Office or Brooklyn Nine-Nine or something that you're supposed to sit, so we're sitting."
