Jennifer Garner’s stunt double joke

Posted on September 28, 2007 - Jennifer Garner

Jennifer Garner has joked her daughter loves her stunt double more than her.

‘The Kingdom’ actress says Violet, her 21-month-old daughter with husband
Ben Affleck, is so obsessed with Shauna Duggins that she draws pictures and
sings about her.

Jennifer told US chat show host David Letterman: “I have a problem with my
child actually right now. She’s obsessed these days with my stunt double,
Shauna Duggins. She’s a really good friend of mine. She’s like my partner in
crime. She’s amazing - she’s like me except cooler, hotter and with a better
body. My daughter recognises this and makes me call her ‘Shauna Girl’ and
she draws Green Shauna, Pink Shauna, Blue Shauna.

“She’ll turn any song or any book into a song or book about Shauna. The
other night, I was singing something to her that I sing to her all the
time - ‘I love my baby Violet Anne.’ And she looked at me with so much love
and then said, ‘I love Shauna, Shauna, Shauna!’ ”

Jennifer, 35, also confessed she is worried Ben will soon start to prefer
Shauna as well.

She added: “I’m afraid this is going to permeate my household and I’m going
to come home and Shauna’s going to be in my kitchen with my husband -
cooking dinner. She’s the fake me. I keep saying to Violet, ‘She’s not
really me! She’s the other half. I do my own stunts!’ ”

Meanwhile, Ben has also had his own battles with feisty Violet recently.
When he took her to the Museum of Manhattan on Tuesday, she was
so intrigued by an interactive model of a New York City fire truck that she
refused to look at anything else.

An onlooker told the New York Daily News newspaper: “She just loved the big
red fire truck. Ben would point out something new to her and she’d shake her
head and pull him straight back to the fire truck to play.”
