Jennifer Garner'S Wild Action Stunt: Channeling Her Inner Mike Tyson

Jennifer Garner's Action-Packed Confession

Jennifer Garner is no stranger to intense action scenes. Known for her roles in adrenaline-pumping films and series, she recently shared a wild stunt story that left fans buzzing. During a promotional event for her latest project, "The Last Thing He Told Me," she opened up about a memorable moment that sparked comparisons to Mike Tyson.

“Pete Berg, who was the director, told him to try to kill me. We did not have a lot of choreography, and he told me to do anything I could to survive,” she said. "He did, and I did, and I ended up scrambling onto his back. I bit his ear, and we have a picture of him missing a chunk of ear, because we were not kidding.”

Garner's story takes us back to her collaboration with stunt performer Sala Baker on the movie "The Kingdom." The duo reunited for "The Last Thing He Told Me," where Garner insisted that there be no holding back. "I was like, ‘No, no, no, no, he’s not going to be careful. I’m not going to be careful. Just back out of the way. I have a score to settle here.’"

Revisiting an Iconic Action Star

Garner's candid recounting of biting Baker's ear during a stunt instantly drew parallels to the infamous Mike Tyson ear-biting incident. Her co-star, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, couldn't resist asking for more details, to which Garner clarified that she bit Baker's ear "like Mike Tyson."

Garner's career is peppered with action-packed roles. From her breakout role in "Alias" to her fierce performance in "Peppermint," where she trained extensively in MMA, gun skills, and knife skills, Garner's dedication to her craft is undeniable. "I’ve been training for a while on this. I did MMA skills, gun skills, and knife skills," she shared in a past interview.

Director Pierre Morel praised her commitment, saying, "She was very physical, she was very fit – even before we started training. She was dead-on, ready to go for it. The fact that everything is done by the actor is key."

What's Next for Garner?

As Garner continues to push the envelope with her action roles, fans can only anticipate more thrilling performances. With "The Last Thing He Told Me" set to add another feather to her cap, Garner's reputation as a formidable action star remains unchallenged.
