Ben Affleck played a rubbish superhero in Daredevil, Jennifer Garner played a rubbish superhero in Elektra. Just imagine what inept superpowers Ben and Jennifer’s new baby girl must have.
The Affleck/Garner baby offspring, named Violet, came into the world on Wednesday night, after Jennifer was induced in a Los Angeles hospital. Despite probably being all covered in guts when she popped out, it’s thought that Violet Affleck still didn’t stink as much as any of the films that her parents have ever made.
Violet Affleck is the first baby for either Ben Affleck or Jennifer
Garner (DVDs). No other details have yet been released, except for a quote
given to US Weekly magazine:
”They induced last night. Ben was with her the entire time.”
Which
at least allays fears that he would be too busy playing poker while
buzzing off his nut on a range of Starbucks caffeine-based drinks or, worse,
making another one of his shoddy films.
After Ben overdid the publicity and got burnt when he was with
Jennifer Lopez, he’s tried to keep his relationship with Jennifer
Garner as private as possible. Garner’s pregnancy wasn’t so much announced as whispered into the air when nobody was listening, and the Affleck/Garner
wedding had a similar lid kept on it. And that’s why, despite blanket
coverage of Violet’s birth, neither Garner’s or Affleck’s representatives
have confirmed that the baby even exists yet.
So now Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner will settle down for an
extended career break in order to raise baby Violet in the best way
possible, right? Wrong – both mother and father are busy pumping out films
like nobody’s business.
Ben Affleck will try to reverse his reputation as a terrible actor
who only makes terrible films with the release next year of three
flicks: Man About Town, Smokin’ Aces and Truth, Justice And The
American Way; while Jennifer Garner will star in Charlotte’s Web, Catch
And Release, Be With You and the long awaited Jennifer Garner erotic thriller Sabbatical.
