To her loving fans, Jennifer Garner may be the coolest, but when it comes to her kids, her A-List status doesn't save her from embarrassing mom moments.
When she's not dazzling red carpets or working on set, the Alias alum is a doting mom of three. Together with Ben Affleck, who she was married to from 2005 to 2018, she shares kids Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.
While the three kids are no strangers to the spotlight thanks to their parents – plus stepmom Jennifer Lopez of course – when the 13 Going on 30 actress tried to use her Hollywood perks to impress her son's classmates, it didn't quite get the reaction she expected from her youngest.
During an appearance on Good Morning America promoting her latest comedy movie, Family Switch, Jennifer revealed her son Samuel was left 'mortified' when his famous mom took him and his entire class to go see it.
Revealing her son's unexpected reaction to GMA hosts Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan, and Lara Spencer, she said: "He was mortified that I invited his entire class to watch the movie."
She then confessed: "I didn't think about it until we were in the theater," adding: "Then I was sweating and thinking, 'What have I done?'"
