The mother of three, the 48-year-old, admitted in Monday’s episode of SiriusXM’s The Jess Cagle Show: “I’ve never made a movie to draw more from my personal experience than ever before.”
“So there was this kind of external pressure and I kept saying, ‘No! The only pain is that it doesn’t grow at all. This is what tears the heart! “
Jennifer continued: “It’s heartbreaking for both mother and teenager and they just have to have that kind of break-up of that babymama. That’s so hard. You don’t have to make her an idiot. It’s even harder to be wonderful.
Violet was just 6 years old when Garner began turning the philosophy behind Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s 2009 book into a real-life family tradition.
“My kids call me the ‘fun killer’ – that’s the way it is in the movie,” said the Texas-born star, who grew up in West Virginia.
