Garner based character in new movie on relative

Jennifer Garner based her neurotic character in her new movie on a relative. The 35-year-old Juno actress, who co-stars with Jason Bateman as a childless suburban couple who agree to adopt a pregnant teenager’s unborn baby, confessed the family member has no idea they were the inspiration for the role.
Speaking at a Producers Guild of America screening of Juno in New York last week, Garner said, “My character is based on someone related to me. She doesn’t even know it yet. And it will kill her when she sees the movie.” Jennifer, who has a two-year-old daughter Violet with husband, actor Ben Affleck, joked her revelation means the relative will probably snub her this Christmas. The star quipped, “I’m definitely not going to get any Christmas presents from her.” Last month, the Alias star was named Glamour magazine’s Woman of the Year. Jennifer graced the cover of the US publication in an exquisite floor-sweeping backless turquoise gown for the November issue honouring fantastic females.
