'A menu and an eyebrow pencil go a long way.'
The COVID-19 lockdowns were a strange time for all of us—including Jennifer Garner, who was willing to do just about anything to keep her kids entertained.
In the latest installment of Garner's perfectly chaotic Instagram posts, the 50-year-old actress gave her followers an inside look at her quarantine life, which involved her dressing up as classic children's literature character Strega Nona for the amusement of her kiddos.
"Invent a 'restaurant' for dinner—a menu and an eyebrow pencil go a long way—and you've got yourself a good time," Garner wrote in the caption of the hilarious clip, which shows her completely transformed into the beloved Strega Nona—wrinkles, unibrow and all.
The mother of three appears wearing a white cloth over her head and carrying the big pasta pot, just like the character from the children's book by Tomie dePaola. She completed the video with the perfect soundtrack: Louis Prima's "Che La Luna."
