Jennifer Garner is Out Here Giving the Funniest Advice to Graduates
Is there anything Jennifer Garner can’t do? She’s an award winning actor, a self-taught cook and baker and an Instagram star. Her witty social media presence has resulted in a renaissance of sorts for the actress, who has made a full comeback to acting after laying low for a few years while her children with ex-husband Ben Affleck were young.
The 13 Going on 30 star pulled out all her comedic chops for her commencement address to the graduating class of Denison University, a liberal arts college in Ohio. Garner’s wise words covered all kinds of topics, like holidays and skincare: “When it comes to Halloween costumes, go funny over sexy. Why would you dress like a flirty nurse when you can be a mailbox. Nothing looks better in your 50s, than sunscreen in your 20s.”
