Jennifer Garner says husband Ben Affleck is "too brainy" for her.
The 'Juno' actress claims Ben is so intelligent she has to read newspapers every day just to hold a conversation with him.
She said: "Ben really is such a sharp, intelligent guy. Sometimes I think, 'Oh gosh, I'd better read the paper so I can talk to my husband!' "
Although she accepts her spouse is a very intelligent man, Jennifer insists she can hold her own with him because he's not as smart as he thinks.
The 35-year-old star added: "I can hold my own with him though. I hate to break it to him, but he likes to think, 'Can you believe how smart I am?' He'll be teasing me and I'll say, 'Yes, actually, I can. I'm astounded that you can keep up with me most if the time to be honest.' "
Bangin' face and body.
But dumber than a stick.
Ben Affleck is brainy? Since when??????????
Zero plus zero is still zero.
If ben`s so intelligent why`s he such a bad actor?
Somebody better tell him to use his brain and study
drama because he CANNOT act his way outta a wet paper bag.
Sets come crashing down.
Wind blowing at gale forces.
And the sound is deafening and distracting to other actors...
As air rushes into the empty vacuum of her head.
West Virginia jokes ... too easy.
I feel 25% dumber after reading this.
Oh, Heaven forbid you ‘have’ to read a paper once a day, sweetie.
Don’t pull a brain muscle now.
Is it any wonder that people don’t read anymore?
The really funny part is that she thinks reading a newspaper is where all the intelligence is. Try reading a book, Jennifer.
This story reminds me of one of my son’s classmates. Her parents wanted her to be bumped up a grade because “she was a genius”. The school said no (because they didn’t think she was that smart). Her parents told everyone how unfair it was that a genius was being suppressed. The funny thing was that every kid in her class was shocked that she was being labeled a genius.
A couple years later, the “genius” girl classmate had to leave the school due to poor academic performance. If someone has to tell you that he/she (or their kid) is a genius; they are not a genius.
She TRIED reading Curious George once. Last week.
Isn’t Affleck the actor that ran around in 2004 to get people to register and vote but forgot to do it himself?
LOL
